On Type-Ii Progressively Hybrid Censoring, Debasis Kundu, Avijit Joarder, Hare Krishna
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The progressive Type-II censoring scheme has become quite popular. A drawback of a progressive censoring scheme is that the length of the experiment can be very large if the items are highly reliable. Recently, Kundu and Joarder (2006) introduced the Type-II progressively hybrid censored scheme and analyzed the data assuming that the lifetimes of the items are exponentially distributed. This article presents the analysis of Type-II progressively hybrid censored data when the lifetime distributions of the items follow Weibull distributions. Maximum likelihood estimators and approximate maximum likelihood estimators are developed for estimating the unknown parameters. Asymptotic confidence intervals based on …
New Effect Size Rules Of Thumb, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
New Effect Size Rules Of Thumb, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Recommendations to expand Cohen’s (1988) rules of thumb for interpreting effect sizes are given to include very small, very large, and huge effect sizes. The reasons for the expansion, and implications for designing Monte Carlo studies, are discussed.
Multiple Search Paths And The General-To-Specific Methodology, Paul Turner
Multiple Search Paths And The General-To-Specific Methodology, Paul Turner
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Increased interest in computer automation of the general-to-specific methodology has resulted from research by Hoover and Perez (1999) and Krolzig and Hendry (2001). This article presents simulation results for a multiple search path algorithm that has better properties than those generated by a single search path. The most noticeable improvements occur when the data contain unit roots.
Intermediate R Values For Use In The Fleishman Power Method, Julie M. Smith
Intermediate R Values For Use In The Fleishman Power Method, Julie M. Smith
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Several intermediate r values are calculated at three different correlations for use in the Fleishman Power Method for generating correlated data from normal and non-normal populations.
