Not All Effects Are Created Equal: A Rejoinder To Sawilowsky, J. Kyle Roberts, Robin K. Henson May 2003

Not All Effects Are Created Equal: A Rejoinder To Sawilowsky, J. Kyle Roberts, Robin K. Henson

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

In the continuing debate over the use and utility of effect sizes, more discussion often helps to both clarify and syncretize methodological views. Here, further defense is given of Roberts & Henson (2002) in terms of measuring bias in Cohen’s d, and a rejoinder to Sawilowsky (2003) is presented.

Comparing Correlated Parameter Estimates For Nonlinear Pet Model, J. Wu, A. Parkhurst, K. Eskridge, D. Travnicek, T. Brown-Brandi, R. Eigenberg, G. L. Hahn, J. Nienaber, T. Mader, D. Spiers

Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture

The nonlinear PET model based on Newton's law of cooling can be used to estimate body temperature in cattle, T b challenged by hot cyclic chamber temperatures, T a . The PET model has four biologically meaningful parameters: K, the thermal constant; Δ, the difference between T b and adjusted T a ; Υ the proportion of variation in T b comparable to variation in Ta ; T bini, the initial body temperature. The two parameters Y and Δ are highly correlated in the current version of the model. This study looks at other ways to parameterize …
