Estimation And Hypothesis Testing In Lav Regression With Autocorrelated Errors: Is Correction For Autocorrelation Helpful?, Terry E. Dielman Nov 2011

Estimation And Hypothesis Testing In Lav Regression With Autocorrelated Errors: Is Correction For Autocorrelation Helpful?, Terry E. Dielman

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Using the Prais-Winsten correction and adding a lagged variable provides improved estimates (smaller MSE) in least absolute value (LAV) regression when moderate to high levels of autocorrelation are present. When comparing empirical levels of significance for hypothesis tests, adding a lagged variable outperforms other approaches but has a relative high empirical level of significance.


Higher Order Markov Structure-Based Logistic Model And Likelihood Inference For Ordinal Data, Soma Chowdhury Biswas, M. Ataharul Islam, Jamal Nazrul Islam Nov 2011

Higher Order Markov Structure-Based Logistic Model And Likelihood Inference For Ordinal Data, Soma Chowdhury Biswas, M. Ataharul Islam, Jamal Nazrul Islam

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Azzalini (1994) proposed a first order Markov chain for binary data. Azzalini’s model is extended for ordinal data and introduces a second order model. Further, the test statistics are developed and the power of the test is determined. An application using real data is also presented.
