Logistic Regression Models For Higher Order Transition Probabilities Of Markov Chain For Analyzing The Occurrences Of Daily Rainfall Data, Narayan Chanra Sinha, M. Ataharul Islam, Kazi Saleh Ahamed

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Logistic regression models for transition probabilities of higher order Markov models are developed for the sequence of chain dependent repeated observations. To identify the significance of these models and their parameters a test procedure for a likelihood ratio criterion is developed. A method of model selection is suggested on the basis of AIC and BIC procedures. The proposed models and test procedures are applied to analyze the occurrences of daily rainfall data for selected stations in Bangladesh. Based on results from these models, the transition probabilities of first order Markov model for temperature and humidity provided the most suitable option …

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

PCIC_SAS is a SAS program for identifying optimal subsets of means based on independent groups. All possible configurations of ordered subsets of groups are considered and a best model is identified using both the AIC and BIC information criteria. Results for models with homogeneous variances as well as models with heterogeneity of variance in the same pattern as the means are reported.

Best Regression Model Using Information Criteria, Phill Gagné, C. Mitchell Dayton

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The accuracy of AIC and BIC is evaluated under simulated multiple regression conditions, varying number of total and valid predictors, R2, and n. AIC and BIC were increasingly accurate as n increased and as total predictors decreased. Interactions of the ratio of valid/total predictors affected accuracy.
