Fermat, Schubert, Einstein, And Behrens-Fisher: The Probable Difference Between Two Means When Σ12≠ Σ22, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky Nov 2002

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.

Enhancement Of Wind-Driven Upwelling And Downwelling By Alongshore Bathymetric Variability, James M. Pringle Nov 2002

Enhancement Of Wind-Driven Upwelling And Downwelling By Alongshore Bathymetric Variability, James M. Pringle

Earth Sciences

Steady wind-driven flow along a shelf of changing width is described with a frictional barotropic model valid in the limit of small Rossby and Burger number. In these limits, an alongshore wind drives enhanced onshelf transport in a coastal ocean if the shelf widens downwind, and the change in shelf width only affects the flow in the direction of Kelvin wave propagation ("downwave'') from the change in shelf width. There is enhanced onshore transport of cold, nutrient-laden bottom water if the winds favor upwelling and the shelf narrows in the direction of Kelvin wave propagation. This enhanced transport extends a …

Designing Interdisciplinary Approaches To Problem Solving Into Computer Languages, Daniel E. Cooke, Vladik Kreinovich, Joseph E. Urban Nov 2002

Designing Interdisciplinary Approaches To Problem Solving Into Computer Languages, Daniel E. Cooke, Vladik Kreinovich, Joseph E. Urban

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

Many interdisciplinary design efforts require the involvement of computer scientists because of the complexity of the problem solving tools available for the projects. This paper demonstrates how appropriate language design can place high level languages in the hands of scientists and engineers, thus providing a more automated approach to problem solving that may reduce the amount of computer scientist involvement. The language SequenceL serves as an example of this approach.

Soils Of Mississippi County, Arkansas, J. M. Mckimmey, B. Dixon, H. D. Scott, C. M. Scarlat Nov 2002

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

Influence Of Terrain On Scaling Laws For River Networks, D. A. Vasquez, D. H. Smith, Boyd F. Edwards Nov 2002

Influence Of Terrain On Scaling Laws For River Networks, D. A. Vasquez, D. H. Smith, Boyd F. Edwards

All Physics Faculty Publications

The upper Cheat River network departs from scaling laws describing a large number of river networks in North America. This departure is traced to its corrugated terrain. The more typical random terrain of the lower Cheat River network obeys the standard scaling laws. We modify the random network model of Scheidegger to include the effects of topography, reproducing the behavior observed in the Cheat River basin.

Effect Of Processing Conditions On Microstructure Of Milk Fat Fraction/Sunflower Oil Blends., Silvana Martini, M. L. Herrera, R. W. Hartel Nov 2002

Effect Of Processing Conditions On Microstructure Of Milk Fat Fraction/Sunflower Oil Blends., Silvana Martini, M. L. Herrera, R. W. Hartel

Nutrition, Dietetics, and Food Sciences Faculty Publications

The effect of processing conditions on the crystallization of blends of a high-melting milk fat fraction and sunflower oil was investigated. Two cooling rates were selected for all studies: 0.1°C/min (slow rate) and 5.5°C/min (fast rate). Blends were crystallized in two conditions: (i) with agitation in an 80-mL crystallizer (dynamic), and (ii) on a microscope slide without agitation (static). The selected crystallization temperatures were 25, 30, and 35°C for both cooling rates. Photographs of the development of crystals with time were taken in both static and dynamic conditions, and the crystal size distribution was determined at the moment that the …

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 Nov 2002

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 Nov 2002

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 …

Extensions Of The Concept Of Exchangeability And Their Applications, Phillip I. Good Nov 2002

Extensions Of The Concept Of Exchangeability And Their Applications, Phillip I. Good

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Permutation tests provide exact p-values in a wide variety of practical testing situations. But permutation tests rely on the assumption of exchangeability, that is, under the hypothesis, the joint distribution of the observations is invariant under permutations of the subscripts. Observations are exchangeable if they are independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.), or if they are jointly normal with identical covariances. The range of applications of these exact, powerful, distribution-free tests can be enlarged through exchangeability- preserving transforms, asymptotic exchangeability, partial exchangeability, and weak exchangeability. Original exact tests for comparing the slopes of two regression lines and for the analysis of …

A Test Of Symmetry, Abdul R. Othman, H. J. Keselman, Rand R. Wilcox, Katherine Fradette, A. R. Padmanabhan Nov 2002

A Test Of Symmetry, Abdul R. Othman, H. J. Keselman, Rand R. Wilcox, Katherine Fradette, A. R. Padmanabhan

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

When data are nonnormal in form classical procedures for assessing treatment group equality are prone to distortions in rates of Type I error and power to detect effects. Replacing the usual means with trimmed means reduces rates of Type I error and increases sensitivity to detect effects. If data are skewed, say to the right, then it has been postulated that asymmetric trimming, to the right, should be better at controlling rates of Type I error and power to detect effects than symmetric trimming from both tails of the data distribution. Keselman, Wilcox, Othman and Fradette (2002) found that Babu, …

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.

The Statistical Modeling Of The Fertility Of Chinese Women, Dudley L. Poston Jr. Nov 2002

The Statistical Modeling Of The Fertility Of Chinese Women, Dudley L. Poston Jr.

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

This article is concerned with the statistical modeling of children ever born (CEB) fertility data. It is shown that in a low fertility population, such as China, the use of linear regression approaches to model CEB is statistically inappropriate because the distribution of the CEB variable is often heavily skewed with a long right tail. For five sub-groups of Chinese women, their fertility is modeled using Poisson, negative binomial, and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models. It is shown that in almost all instances there would have been major errors of statistical inference had the interpretations of the results been …

Double Median Ranked Set Sample: Comparing To Other Double Ranked Samples For Mean And Ratio Estimators, Hani M. Samawi, Eman M. Tawalbeh Nov 2002

Double Median Ranked Set Sample: Comparing To Other Double Ranked Samples For Mean And Ratio Estimators, Hani M. Samawi, Eman M. Tawalbeh

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Double median ranked set sample (DMRSS) and its properties for estimating the population mean, when the underlying distribution is assumed to be symmetric about its mean, are introduced. Also, the performance of DMRSS with respect to other ranked set samples and double ranked set samples, for estimating the population mean and ratio, is considered. Real data that consist of heights and diameters of 399 trees are used to illustrate the procedure. The analysis and simulation indicate that using DMRSS for estimating the population mean is more efficient than using the other ranked samples and double ranked samples schemes except in …
