A Long-Term Hydrologically-Based Data Set Of Land Surface Fluxes And States For The Conterminous United States, Edwin P. Maurer, A. W. Wood, J. C. Adam, Dennis P. Lettenmaier, B. Nijssen

Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering

A frequently encountered difficulty in assessing model-predicted land–atmosphere exchanges of moisture and energy is the absence of comprehensive observations to which model predictions can be compared at the spatial and temporal resolutions at which the models operate. Various methods have been used to evaluate the land surface schemes in coupled models, including comparisons of model-predicted evapotranspiration with values derived from atmospheric water balances, comparison of model-predicted energy and radiative fluxes with tower measurements during periods of intensive observations, comparison of model-predicted runoff with observed streamflow, and comparison of model predictions of soil moisture with spatial averages of point observations. While …

Fermat, Schubert, Einstein, And Behrens-Fisher: The Probable Difference Between Two Means When Σ12≠ Σ22, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky

Theoretical and Behavioral Foundations of Education Faculty Publications

The history of the Behrens-Fisher problem and some approximate solutions are reviewed. In outlining relevant statistical hypotheses on the probable difference between two means, the importance of the Behrens- Fisher problem from a theoretical perspective is acknowledged, but it is concluded that this problem is irrelevant for applied research in psychology, education, and related disciplines. The focus is better placed on “shift in location” and, more importantly, “shift in location and change in scale” treatment alternatives.

Comprehensive Subgrade Deflection Acceptance Criteria - Executive Summary, James Crovetti

Transportation Research Center: Subgrade Deflection Studies

This executive summary presents a summary of the findings of all study phases conducted to develop recommendations for the development of specifications for subgrade acceptance based on measured deflections. The rolling wheel deflectomter (RWD), portable truck-mounted deflection measurement systems, and dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) were utilized on numerous subgrade construction projects between the 1998 and 2001 construction seasons. Comparative nuclear density and soil stiffness gauge readings were also obtained at selected locations on many of the included construction projects.

The research findings indicate that deflection test results may be appropriate for identifying areas of poor in-place stability within constructed subgrades. …

Soils Of Mississippi County, Arkansas, J. M. Mckimmey, B. Dixon, H. D. Scott, C. M. Scarlat

AAES Research Reports and Research Bulletins

Along with air and water, soil contributes essential processes to the natural order of global cycles. With the exception of edibles from the sea, virtually everything we, and most other land-based animals, eat is derived from soil. Soil is a storage medium of essential minerals and nutrients for fulfilling our agricultural and nutritional needs. Humans work the soil to provide the basics of food, clothing, and shelter. We also use the soil as a medium to store and discard our waste. Virtually everything we do is in some way connected to soil

On The Misuse Of Confidence Intervals For Two Means In Testing For The Significance Of The Difference Between The Means, George W. Ryan, Steven D. Leadbetter

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Comparing individual confidence intervals of two population means is an incorrect procedure for determining the statistical significance of the difference between the means. We show conditions where confidence intervals for the means from two independent samples overlap and the difference between the means is in fact significant.

Constructive Criticism, Ronald C. Serlin

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Attempts to attain knowledge as certified true belief have failed to circumvent Hume’s injunction against induction. Theories must be viewed as unprovable, improbable, and undisprovable. The empirical basis is fallible, and yet the method of conjectures and refutations is untouched by Hume’s insights. The implications for statistical methodology is that the requisite severity of testing is achieved through the use of robust procedures, whose assumptions have not been shown to be substantially violated, to test predesignated range null hypotheses. Nonparametric range null hypothesis tests need to be developed to examine whether or not effect sizes or measures of association, as …

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.

Robust Estimation Of Multivariate Failure Data With Time-Modulated Frailty, Pingfu Fu, J. Sunil Rao, Jiming Jiang

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A time-modulated frailty model is proposed for analyzing multivariate failure data. The effect of frailties, which may not be constant over time, is discussed. We assume a parametric model for the baseline hazard, but avoid the parametric assumption for the frailty distribution. The well-known connection between survival times and Poisson regression model is used. The parameters of interest are estimated by generalized estimating equations (GEE) or by penalized GEE. Simulation studies show that the procedure is successful to detect the effect of time-modulated frailty. The method is also applied to a placebo controlled randomized clinical trial of gamma interferon, a …

Null Distribution Of The Likelihood Ratio Statistic For Feed-Forward Neural Networks, Douglas Landsittel, Harshinder Singh, Vincent C. Arena, Stewart J. Anderson

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Despite recent publications exploring model complexity with modern regression methods, their dimensionality is rarely quantified in practice and the distributions of related test statistics are not well characterized. Through a simulation study, we describe the null distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for several different feed-forward neural network models.
