Multicollinearity And The Estimation Of Regression Coefficients, John Charles Teed
Multicollinearity And The Estimation Of Regression Coefficients, John Charles Teed
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The precision of the estimates of the regression coefficients in a regression analysis is affected by multicollinearity. The effect of certain factors on multicollinearity and the estimates was studied. The response variables were the standard error of the regression coefficients and a standarized statistic that measures the deviation of the regression coefficient from the population parameter.
The estimates are not influenced by any one factor in particular, but rather some combination of factors. The larger the sample size, the better the precision of the estimates no matter how "bad" the other factors may be.
The standard error of the regression …
Interpretation Of Principal Components, Marwan A. Dabdoub
Interpretation Of Principal Components, Marwan A. Dabdoub
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The principal component analysis can be carried out two ways. First the R-mode:
R = K'K
and the second is the Q-mode:
Q = K K'
where K is a data matrix centered by column or by row. The most commonly used method is the R-mode.
It has been suggested that principal components computed from either the R-mode or the Q-mode may have the same interpretation. If this is true, then interpretation of the principal components could be put on a much more intuitive level in many applications. This will occur whenever one type of principal component …
Estimation Of Μy Using The General Regression Model (In Sampling), Michael R. Manieri
Estimation Of Μy Using The General Regression Model (In Sampling), Michael R. Manieri
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The methods of ratio and regression estimators discussed by Cochran(l977) are given as background materials and extended to the estimation of µy, the population mean of the Y's, using a general regression model.
The propagation of error technique given by Deming(l948) is used as an approximation to find the variance of the estimator µy.
Examples are given for each of the various models. Variances of μy are calculated and compared
Factor Analysis Method, Stephen Hauwah Kan
Factor Analysis Method, Stephen Hauwah Kan
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The logical steps performed when doing a factor analysis can be classified into three operation s. The first step concerns the exact mode of analysis and involves the type of centering, scaling and formation o f sums of squares . The second step involves extraction of initial factors. The algebraic basis of the factors are rotated in the last step to obtain a more easily interpreted set of factors. At each step several different methods have been suggested and appear in the literature. Two primary modes of factor analysis are commonly used an d they are denoted as R-mode and …
Comparison Of The Fisher's Method Of Randomization With Other Tests Based On Ranks And The F-Test, Francisco J. González
Comparison Of The Fisher's Method Of Randomization With Other Tests Based On Ranks And The F-Test, Francisco J. González
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Classical statistical inference methods (parametric methods) have a common denominator, i.e. a population para meter (μ, o, n) about which we wish to draw inferences from a random sample. R) are selected. Point estimators of the parameters (X, S, Their sampling distribution is used to construct hypothesis testing decision rules or, confidence interval formulas. This is the reason for calling this method of obtaining inferences a parametric method. They are based on knowing the distribution of the population random variable from which the sampling distribution of the point estimator is determined. In addition, it is generally assumed that the population, …
