A Randomization Method To Control The Type I Error Rates In Best Subset Regression, Yasser A. Shehata, Paul White Nov 2008

A Randomization Method To Control The Type I Error Rates In Best Subset Regression, Yasser A. Shehata, Paul White

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A randomization method for the assessment of statistical significance for best subsets regression is given. The procedure takes into account the number of potential predictors and the inter-dependence between predictors. The approach corrects a non-trivial problem with Type I errors and can be used to assess individual variable significance.

Comparing Different Methods For Multiple Testing In Reaction Time Data, Massimiliano Pastore, Massimo Nucci, Giovanni Galfano

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Reaction times were simulated for examining the power of six methods for multiple testing, as a function of sample size and departures from normality. Power estimates were low for all methods for non-normal distributions. With normal distributions, even for small sample sizes, satisfactory power estimates were observed, especially for FDR-based procedures.
