Assessing Trends: Monte Carlo Trials With Four Different Regression Methods, Daniel R. Thompson
Assessing Trends: Monte Carlo Trials With Four Different Regression Methods, Daniel R. Thompson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Poisson, Negative Binomial, and Quasi-Poisson Regression methods were assessed for testing the statistical significance of a trend by performing 10,000 simulations. The Poisson method should be used when data follow a Poisson distribution. The other methods should be used when data follow a normal distribution.
Application Of The Truncated Skew Laplace Probability Distribution In Maintenance System, Gokarna R. Aryal, Chris P. Tsokos
Application Of The Truncated Skew Laplace Probability Distribution In Maintenance System, Gokarna R. Aryal, Chris P. Tsokos
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A random variable X is said to have the skew-Laplace probability distribution if its pdf is given by f(x) = 2g(x)G(λx), where g (.) and G (.), respectively, denote the pdf and the cdf of the Laplace distribution. When the skew Laplace distribution is truncated on the left at 0 it is called it the truncated skew Laplace (TSL) distribution. This article provides a comparison of TSL distribution with twoparameter gamma model and the hypoexponential model, and an application of the subject model in maintenance system is studied.
Least Absolute Value Vs. Least Squares Estimation And Inference Procedures In Regression Models With Asymmetric Error Distributions, Terry E. Dielman
Least Absolute Value Vs. Least Squares Estimation And Inference Procedures In Regression Models With Asymmetric Error Distributions, Terry E. Dielman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A Monte Carlo simulation is used to compare estimation and inference procedures in least absolute value (LAV) and least squares (LS) regression models with asymmetric error distributions. Mean square errors (MSE) of coefficient estimates are used to assess the relative efficiency of the estimators. Hypothesis tests for coefficients are compared on the basis of empirical level of significance and power.
Variance-Mean Relationships To Analyze Large Survey Data With Application To Health Expenditure Data, Wenli Luo
Variance-Mean Relationships To Analyze Large Survey Data With Application To Health Expenditure Data, Wenli Luo
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
A great deal of work has been done in cost analysis in the last several decades. However, relatively little has been done to learn how efficiently to address the relationship between the variance and mean of the response distribution and how this will affect the choice of an appropriate generalized linear model.

We develop a simulation-based procedure for determining the required sample size in binomial regression risk assessment studies when response data are subject to misclassification. A Bayesian average power criterion is used to determine a sample size that provides high probability, averaged over the distribution of potential future data sets, of correctly establishing the direction of association between predictor variables and the probability of event occurrence. The method is broadly applicable to any parametric binomial regression model including, but not limited to, the popular logistic, probit, and complementary log-log models. We detail a common medical scenario wherein ascertainment of true disease …
