Misguided Opposition To Multiplicity Adjustment Remains A Problem, Andrew V. Frane
Misguided Opposition To Multiplicity Adjustment Remains A Problem, Andrew V. Frane
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Fallacious arguments against multiplicity adjustment have been cited with increasing frequency to defend unadjusted tests. These arguments and their enduring impact are discussed in this paper.
Identifying Which Of J Independent Binomial Distributions Has The Largest Probability Of Success, Rand Wilcox
Identifying Which Of J Independent Binomial Distributions Has The Largest Probability Of Success, Rand Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Let p1,…, pJ denote the probability of a success for J independent random variables having a binomial distribution and let p(1) ≤ … ≤ p(J) denote these probabilities written in ascending order. The goal is to make a decision about which group has the largest probability of a success, p(J). Let p̂1,…, p̂J denote estimates of p1,…,pJ, respectively. The strategy is to test J − 1 hypotheses comparing the group with the largest estimate to each of the J − 1 …
Regression: Determining Which Of P Independent Variables Has The Largest Or Smallest Correlation With The Dependent Variable, Plus Results On Ordering The Correlations Winsorized, Rand Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In a regression context, consider p independent variables and a single dependent variable. The paper addresses two goals. The first is to determine the extent it is reasonable to make a decision about whether the largest estimate of the Winsorized correlations corresponds to the independent variable that has the largest population Winsorized correlation. The second is to determine the extent it is reasonable to decide that the order of the estimates of the Winsorized correlations correctly reflects the true ordering. Both goals are addressed by testing relevant hypotheses. Results in Wilcox (in press a) suggest using a multiple comparisons procedure …
