Small Sample Methods For The Analysis Of Clustered Binary Data, Lawrence J. Cook
Small Sample Methods For The Analysis Of Clustered Binary Data, Lawrence J. Cook
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
There are several solutions for analysis of clustered binary data. However, the two most common tools in use today, generalized estimating equations and random effects or mixed models, rely heavily on asymptotic theory. However, in many situations, such as small or sparse samples, asymptotic assumptions may not be met. For this reason we explore the utility of the quadratic exponential model and conditional analysis to estimate the effect size of a trend parameter in small sample and sparse data settings. Further we explore the computational efficiency of two methods for conducting conditional analysis, the network algorithm and Markov chain Monte …
Comparison Of Career Statistics And Season Statistics In Major League Baseball, Mark Joseph Ammons
Comparison Of Career Statistics And Season Statistics In Major League Baseball, Mark Joseph Ammons
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This is a comparison of statistics for some of the best seasons and careers of players from Major League Baseball; using data collected on batting average, at bat to homerun ratio, and earned run average. Two teams were created, composed of season leaders and career leaders, chosen for their outstanding offensive and pitching abilities, and were pitted against one another to determine superiority. These two teams also compared against a team from each era of major league baseball. The season and career leaders challenged, the 1918 Boston Red Sox, 1927 New York Yankees, 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, 1961 New York Yankees, …
