Jmasm 52: Extremely Efficient Permutation And Bootstrap Hypothesis Tests Using R, Christina Chatzipantsiou, Marios Dimitriadis, Manos Papadakis, Michail Tsagris

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Re-sampling based statistical tests are known to be computationally heavy, but reliable when small sample sizes are available. Despite their nice theoretical properties not much effort has been put to make them efficient. Computationally efficient method for calculating permutation-based p-values for the Pearson correlation coefficient and two independent samples t-test are proposed. The method is general and can be applied to other similar two sample mean or two mean vectors cases.


Bayesian Analysis Of Extended Cox Model With Time-Varying Covariates Using Bootstrap Prior, Oyebayo R. Olaniran, Mohd Asrul A. Abdullah Jul 2020

Bayesian Analysis Of Extended Cox Model With Time-Varying Covariates Using Bootstrap Prior, Oyebayo R. Olaniran, Mohd Asrul A. Abdullah

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A new Bayesian estimation procedure for extended cox model with time varying covariate was presented. The prior was determined using bootstrapping technique within the framework of parametric empirical Bayes. The efficiency of the proposed method was observed using Monte Carlo simulation of extended Cox model with time varying covariates under varying scenarios. Validity of the proposed method was also ascertained using real life data set of Stanford heart transplant. Comparison of the proposed method with its competitor established appreciable supremacy of the method.


Quasi-Likelihood Ratio Tests For Homoscedasticity In Linear Regression, Lili Yu, Varadan Sevilimedu, Robert Vogel, Hani Samawi Apr 2020

Quasi-Likelihood Ratio Tests For Homoscedasticity In Linear Regression, Lili Yu, Varadan Sevilimedu, Robert Vogel, Hani Samawi

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Two quasi-likelihood ratio tests are proposed for the homoscedasticity assumption in the linear regression models. They require few assumptions than the existing tests. The properties of the tests are investigated through simulation studies. An example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of the new proposed tests.
