Per Family Error Rates: A Response, James F. Troendle, Keshia-Lee Martin, Vance W. Berger
Per Family Error Rates: A Response, James F. Troendle, Keshia-Lee Martin, Vance W. Berger
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
As the authors note, the familywise error rate (FWER) is used rather often, whereas the per-family error rate (PFER) is not. Is this as it should be? It would seem that no universal answer is possible, as context determines which is more appropriate in any given application. In the general scenario of testing the benefit of an intervention, one might ideally want an error rate that aligns with the decision for benefit. In most cases the FWER does this pretty well, while allowing one to identify those endpoints for which benefit exists. The PFER does not seem to have any …

A Comparison Of Semi-Parametric And Nonparametric Methods For Estimating Mean Time To Event For Randomly Left Censored Data, Farzana Chowdhury, Jahida Gulshan, Syed Shahadat Hossain
A Comparison Of Semi-Parametric And Nonparametric Methods For Estimating Mean Time To Event For Randomly Left Censored Data, Farzana Chowdhury, Jahida Gulshan, Syed Shahadat Hossain
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The aim of this study was to make a comparison among existing estimation methods (Kaplan-Meier, Nelson-Aalen and Regression on Ordered Statistics (ROS)) for randomly left censored time to event data under selected distributions and for different level of censoring and sample sizes in order to determine the strength of these methods based on simulated data. Comparisons among the methods are made on the basis of unbiasedness and Monte Carlo Standard Error of the summary statistics (mean time to event) obtained by those methods under different conditions.
Special Education Distributions And Analysis, Valerie Felder, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
Special Education Distributions And Analysis, Valerie Felder, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Micceri (1989) examined the distributional characteristics of 440 large sample general education achievement and psychometric measures. All the distributions were found to be statistically significantly different from the normal distribution. In this study, 395 special education datasets were examined. Although there were some normally distributed datasets, most were not, and some were markedly different in shape from those found by Micceri (1989). Implications for statistical testing and making special education policy decisions were given.
Comparison Of Bayesian Credible Intervals To Frequentist Confidence Intervals, Kathy Gray, Brittany Hampton, Tony Silveti-Falls, Allison Mcconnell, Casey Bausell
Comparison Of Bayesian Credible Intervals To Frequentist Confidence Intervals, Kathy Gray, Brittany Hampton, Tony Silveti-Falls, Allison Mcconnell, Casey Bausell
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Frequentist confidence intervals were compared with Bayesian credible intervals under a variety of scenarios to determine when Bayesian credible intervals outperform frequentist confidence intervals. Results indicated that Bayesian interval estimation frequently produces results with precision greater than or equal to the frequentist method.
Method Of Estimation In The Presence Of Non-Response And Measurement Errors Simultaneously, Rajesh Singh Singh, Prayas Sharma
Method Of Estimation In The Presence Of Non-Response And Measurement Errors Simultaneously, Rajesh Singh Singh, Prayas Sharma
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The problem of estimating the finite population mean of in simple random sampling in the presence of non-response and response error was considered. The estimators use auxiliary information to improve efficiency, assuming non–response and measurement error are present in both the study and auxiliary variables. A class of estimators was proposed and its properties studied in the simultaneous presence of non-response and response errors. It was shown that the proposed class of estimators is more efficient than the usual unbiased estimator, ratio and product estimators under non-response and response error together. A numerical study was carried out to compare its …
Pseudo-Random Number Generators For Vector Processors And Multicore Processors, Agner Fog
Pseudo-Random Number Generators For Vector Processors And Multicore Processors, Agner Fog
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Large scale Monte Carlo applications need a good pseudo-random number generator capable of utilizing both the vector processing capabilities and multiprocessing capabilities of modern computers in order to get the maximum performance. The requirements for such a generator are discussed. New ways of avoiding overlapping subsequences by combining two generators are proposed. Some fundamental philosophical problems in proving independence of random streams are discussed. Remedies for hitherto ignored quantization errors are offered. An open source C++ implementation is provided for a generator that meets these needs.
Estimation For The Parameters Of The Exponentiated Exponential Distribution Using A Median Ranked Set Sampling, Monjed H. Samuh, Areen Qtait
Estimation For The Parameters Of The Exponentiated Exponential Distribution Using A Median Ranked Set Sampling, Monjed H. Samuh, Areen Qtait
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The method of maximum likelihood estimation based on Median Ranked Set Sampling (MRSS) was used to estimate the shape and scale parameters of the Exponentiated Exponential Distribution (EED). They were compared with the conventional estimators. The relative efficiency was used for comparison. The amount of information (in Fisher's sense) available from the MRSS about the parameters of the EED were be evaluated. Confidence intervals for the parameters were constructed using MRSS.
