Ancova: A Robust Omnibus Test Based On Selected Design Points, Rand R. Wilcox
Ancova: A Robust Omnibus Test Based On Selected Design Points, Rand R. Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Many robust analogs of the classic analysis of covariance method have been proposed. One approach, when comparing two independent groups, uses selected design points and then compares the groups at each design point using some robust method for comparing measures of location. So, if K design points are of interest, K tests are performed. There are rather obvious ways of performing, instead, an omnibus test that for all K points, no differences between the groups exist. One of the main results here is that several variations of these methods can perform very poorly in simulations. An alternative approach, based in …
Penalized Splines For Longitudinal Data With An Application In Aids Studies, Hua Liang, Yuanhui Xiao
Penalized Splines For Longitudinal Data With An Application In Aids Studies, Hua Liang, Yuanhui Xiao
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A penalized spline approximation is proposed in considering nonparametric regression for longitudinal data. Standard linear mixed-effects modeling can be applied for the estimation. It is relatively simple, efficiently computed, and robust to the smooth parameters selection, which are often encountered when local polynomial and smoothing spline techniques are used to analyze longitudinal data set. The method is extended to time-varying coefficient mixed-effects models. The proposed methods are applied to data from an AIDS clinical study. Biological interpretations and clinical implications are discussed. Simulation studies are done to illustrate the proposed methods.
Choosing Smoothing Parameters For Exponential Smoothing: Minimizing Sums Of Squared Versus Sums Of Absolute Errors, Terry E. Dielman
Choosing Smoothing Parameters For Exponential Smoothing: Minimizing Sums Of Squared Versus Sums Of Absolute Errors, Terry E. Dielman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
When choosing smoothing parameters in exponential smoothing, the choice can be made by either minimizing the sum of squared one-step-ahead forecast errors or minimizing the sum of the absolute onestep- ahead forecast errors. In this article, the resulting forecast accuracy is used to compare these two options.
The Efficiency Of Ols In The Presence Of Auto-Correlated Disturbances In Regression Models, Samir Safi, Alexander White
The Efficiency Of Ols In The Presence Of Auto-Correlated Disturbances In Regression Models, Samir Safi, Alexander White
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates in the regression model are efficient when the disturbances have mean zero, constant variance, and are uncorrelated. In problems concerning time series, it is often the case that the disturbances are correlated. Using computer simulations, the robustness of various estimators are considered, including estimated generalized least squares. It was found that if the disturbance structure is autoregressive and the dependent variable is nonstochastic and linear or quadratic, the OLS performs nearly as well as its competitors. For other forms of the dependent variable, rules of thumb are presented to guide practitioners in the choice …
Understanding Eurasian Convergence: Application Of Kohonen Self-Organizing Maps, Joel I. Deichmann, Abdolreza Eshghi, Dominique Haughton, Selin Sayek, Nicholas Teebagy, Heikki Topi
Understanding Eurasian Convergence: Application Of Kohonen Self-Organizing Maps, Joel I. Deichmann, Abdolreza Eshghi, Dominique Haughton, Selin Sayek, Nicholas Teebagy, Heikki Topi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOMs) are employed to examine economic and social convergence of Eurasian countries based on a set of twenty-eight socio-economic measures. A core of European Union states is identified that provides a benchmark against which convergence of post-socialist transition economies may be judged. The Central European Visegrád countries and Baltics show the greatest economic convergence to Western Europe, while other states form clusters that lag behind. Initial conditions on the social dimension can either facilitate or constrain economic convergence, as discovered in Central Europe vis-à-vis the Central Asian Republics. Disquiet in the convergence literature is resolved by providing …
Analysis Of Type-Ii Progressively Hybrid Censored Competing Risks Data, Debasis Kundu, Avijit Joarder
Analysis Of Type-Ii Progressively Hybrid Censored Competing Risks Data, Debasis Kundu, Avijit Joarder
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A Type-II progressively hybrid censoring scheme for competing risks data is introduced, where the experiment terminates at a pre-specified time. The likelihood inference of the unknown parameters is derived under the assumptions that the lifetime distributions of the different causes are independent and exponentially distributed. The maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters are obtained in exact forms. Asymptotic confidence intervals and two bootstrap confidence intervals are also proposed. Bayes estimates and credible intervals of the unknown parameters are obtained under the assumption of gamma priors on the unknown parameters. Different methods have been compared using Monte Carlo simulations. One …

Jmasm23: Cluster Analysis In Epidemiological Data (Matlab), Andrés M. Alonso
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Matlab functions for testing the existence of time, space and time-space clusters of disease occurrences are presented. The classical scan test, the Ederer, Myers and Mantel’s test, the Ohno, Aoki and Aoki’s test, and the Knox’s test are considered.
Properties Of Bound Estimators On Treatment Effect Heterogeneity For Binary Outcomes, Edward J. Mascha, Jeffrey M. Albert
Properties Of Bound Estimators On Treatment Effect Heterogeneity For Binary Outcomes, Edward J. Mascha, Jeffrey M. Albert
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Variability in individual causal effects, treatment effect heterogeneity (TEH), is important to the interpretation of clinical trial results, regardless of the marginal treatment effect. Unfortunately, it is usually ignored. In the setting of two-arm randomized studies with binary outcomes, there are estimators for bounds on the probability of control success and treatment failure for an individual, or the treatment risk. Here, those bounds were refined and the sampling properties were assessed using simulations of correlated multinomial data via the Dirichlet multinomial. Results indicated low bias and mean squared error. Moderate to high intraclass correlation (ICC) and large numbers of clusters …
Two New Unbiased Point Estimates Of A Population Variance, Matthew E. Elam
Two New Unbiased Point Estimates Of A Population Variance, Matthew E. Elam
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Two new unbiased point estimates of an unknown population variance are introduced. They are compared to three known estimates using the mean-square error (MSE). A computer program, which is available for download at http://program.20m.com, is developed for performing calculations for the estimates.

Multiple Comparison Procedures, Trimmed Means And Transformed Statistics, Rhonda K. Kowalchuk, H. J. Keselman, Rand R. Wilcox, James Algina, James Algina, James Algina
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A modification to testing pairwise comparisons that may provide better control of Type I errors in the presence of non-normality is to use a preliminary test for symmetry which determines whether data should be trimmed symmetrically or asymmetrically. Several pairwise MCPs were investigated, employing a test of symmetry with a number of heteroscedastic test statistics that used trimmed means and Winsorized variances. Results showed improved Type I error control than competing robust statistics.

The Effect On Type I Error And Power Of Various Methods Of Resolving Ties For Six Distribution-Free Tests Of Location, Bruce R. Fay
The Effect On Type I Error And Power Of Various Methods Of Resolving Ties For Six Distribution-Free Tests Of Location, Bruce R. Fay
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The impact on Type I error robustness and power for nine different methods of resolving ties was assessed for six distribution-free statistics with four empirical data sets using Monte Carlo techniques. These statistics share an underlying assumption of population continuity such that samples are assumed to have no equal data values (no zero difference–scores, no tied ranks). The best results across all tests and combinations of simulation parameters were obtained by randomly resolving ties, although there were exceptions. The method of dropping ties and reducing the sample size performed poorly.
Nonparametric Bayesian Multiple Comparisons For Dependence Parameter In Bivariate Exponential Populations, M. Masoom Ali, J. S. Cho, Munni Begum
Nonparametric Bayesian Multiple Comparisons For Dependence Parameter In Bivariate Exponential Populations, M. Masoom Ali, J. S. Cho, Munni Begum
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A nonparametric Bayesian multiple comparisons problem (MCP) for dependence parameters in I bivariate exponential populations is studied. A simple method for pairwise comparisons of these parameters is also suggested. The methodology by Gopalan and Berry (1998) is extended using Dirichlet process priors, applied in the form of baseline prior and likelihood combination to provide the comparisons. Computation of the posterior probabilities of all possible hypotheses are carried out through a Markov Chain Monte Carlo, Gibbs sampling, due to the intractability of analytic evaluation. The process of MCP for the dependent parameters of bivariate exponential populations is illustrated with a numerical …
Entropy Criterion In Logistic Regression And Shapley Value Of Predictors, Stan Lipovetsky
Entropy Criterion In Logistic Regression And Shapley Value Of Predictors, Stan Lipovetsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Entropy criterion is used for constructing a binary response regression model with a logistic link. This approach yields a logistic model with coefficients proportional to the coefficients of linear regression. Based on this property, the Shapley value estimation of predictors’ contribution is applied for obtaining robust coefficients of the linear aggregate adjusted to the logistic model. This procedure produces a logistic regression with interpretable coefficients robust to multicollinearity. Numerical results demonstrate theoretical and practical advantages of the entropy-logistic regression.
Comparison Of Some Simple Estimators Of The Lognormal Parameters Based On Censored Samples, Baklizi Ayman, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem
Comparison Of Some Simple Estimators Of The Lognormal Parameters Based On Censored Samples, Baklizi Ayman, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Point estimation of the parameters of the lognormal distribution with censored data is considered. The often employed maximum likelihood estimator does not exist in closed form and iterative methods that require very good starting points are needed. In this article, some techniques of finding closed form estimators to this situation are presented and extended. An extensive simulation study is carried out to investigate and compare the performance of these techniques. The results show that some of them are highly efficient as compared with the maximum likelihood estimator.

Variance Estimation And Construction Of Confidence Intervals For Gee Estimator, Shenghai Zhang, Mary E. Thompson
Variance Estimation And Construction Of Confidence Intervals For Gee Estimator, Shenghai Zhang, Mary E. Thompson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The sandwich estimator, also known as the robust covariance matrix estimator, has achieved increasing use in the statistical literature as well as with the growing popularity of generalized estimating equations (GEE). A modified sandwich variance estimator is proposed, and its consistency and efficiency are studied. It is compared with other variance estimators, such as a model based estimator, the sandwich estimator and a corrected sandwich estimator. Confidence intervals for regression parameters based on these estimators are discussed. Simulation studies using clustered data to compare the performance of variance estimators are reported.

A Combined Individuals And Moving Range Control Chart, Michael B. C. Khoo, S. H. Quah, C. K. Ch'ng
A Combined Individuals And Moving Range Control Chart, Michael B. C. Khoo, S. H. Quah, C. K. Ch'ng
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An individuals control chart is usually used to monitor shifts in the process mean when it is not possible to form subgroups. The moving range of two successive process measures is used as the basis for estimating the process variability. Similar to the case of the X − R and X − S charts, the individualsmoving range (I-MR) charts are used simultaneously in the monitoring of the process mean and variance respectively for individual observations, requiring maintaining two different charts. In this article, a new approach is suggested where the measurements of both the process mean and variance are plotted …
A Combined Standard Deviation Based Data Clustering Algorithm, Kuttiannan Thangavel, Durairaj Ashok Kumar
A Combined Standard Deviation Based Data Clustering Algorithm, Kuttiannan Thangavel, Durairaj Ashok Kumar
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The clustering problem has been widely studied because it arises in many knowledge management oriented applications. It aims at identifying the distribution of patterns and intrinsic correlations in data sets by partitioning the data points into similarity clusters. Traditional clustering algorithms use distance functions to measure similarity centroid, which subside the influences of data points. Hence, in this article a novel non-distance based clustering algorithm is proposed which uses Combined Standard Deviation (CSD) as measure of similarity. The performance of CSD based K-means approach, called K-CSD clustering algorithm, is tested on synthetic data sets. It compared favorably to widely used …
The Use Of Hierarchical Ancova In Curriculum Studies, Show-Mann Liou, Chao-Ying Joanne Peng
The Use Of Hierarchical Ancova In Curriculum Studies, Show-Mann Liou, Chao-Ying Joanne Peng
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Many educational studies are carried out in intact settings, such as classrooms or groups in which individual data were collected before and after a treatment. Researchers advocate either the use of individual scores as the unit of analysis or class means. Both approaches suffer from conceptual and methodological limitations. In this article, the use of hierarchical ANCOVA for analyzing quasiexperimental data including baseline measures is designed and promoted. It is illustrated with a realworld data set collected from a curriculum study. Results showed that the hierarchical ANCOVA is a conceptually and methodologically sound approach, and is better than ANCOVA based …
Comparison Of Statistical Tests In Logistic Regression: The Case Of Hypernatreamia, Stylianos Katsaragakis, Christos Koukouvinos, Stella Stylianou, Eleni-Maria Theodoraki, Eleni-Maria Theodoraki
Comparison Of Statistical Tests In Logistic Regression: The Case Of Hypernatreamia, Stylianos Katsaragakis, Christos Koukouvinos, Stella Stylianou, Eleni-Maria Theodoraki, Eleni-Maria Theodoraki
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The logistic regression has become an integral component of any medical data analysis concerning binary responses. The main issue rising after the adaptation of the final model is its goodness-of-fit. The fit of the model is assessed via the overall measures and summary statistics and comparing them in the case of hypernateamia.
An Estimator Of Intervention Effect On Disease Severity, David Siev
An Estimator Of Intervention Effect On Disease Severity, David Siev
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
When a medical intervention prevents a dichotomous outcome, the size of its effect is often estimated with the prevented fraction. Some interventions may reduce the severity of an outcome without entirely preventing it. To quantify the effect of a severity-moderating intervention, a measure termed the mitigated fraction (MF) is proposed. MF has broad applicability, because it measures the overlap of two empirical distributions based on their stochastic ordering. It is also useful in the specific context of medical interventions, because it shares certain structural and functional features with the prevented fraction. The two measures may be applied together …
Bootstrap Intervals Of The Parameters Of Lognormal Distribution Using Power Rule Model And Accelerated Life Tests, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem
Bootstrap Intervals Of The Parameters Of Lognormal Distribution Using Power Rule Model And Accelerated Life Tests, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Assumed that the distribution of the lifetime of any unit follows a lognormal distribution with parameters μ and σ . Also, assume that the relationship between μ and the stress level V is given by the power rule model. Several types of bootstrap intervals of the parameters were studied and their performance was studied using simulations and compared in term of attainment of the nominal confidence level, symmetry of lower and upper error rates and the expected width. Conclusions and recommendations are given.
Large Sample And Bootstrap Intervals For The Gamma Scale Parameter Based On Grouped Data, Ayman Baklizi, Amjad Al-Nasser
Large Sample And Bootstrap Intervals For The Gamma Scale Parameter Based On Grouped Data, Ayman Baklizi, Amjad Al-Nasser
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Interval estimation of the scale parameter of the gamma distribution using grouped data is considered in this article. Exact intervals do not exist and approximate intervals are needed Recently, Chen and Mi (2001) proposed alternative approximate intervals. In this article, some bootstrap and jackknife type intervals are proposed. The performance of these intervals is investigated and compared. The results show that some of the suggested intervals have a satisfactory statistical performance in situations where the sample size is small with heavy proportion of censoring.
A Comparison Of The Spearman-Brown And Flanagan-Rulon Formulas For Split Half Reliability Under Various Variance Parameter Conditions, David A. Walker
A Comparison Of The Spearman-Brown And Flanagan-Rulon Formulas For Split Half Reliability Under Various Variance Parameter Conditions, David A. Walker
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Differences between the Spearman-Brown and Flanagan-Rulon formulas are examined when the variance parameters for two halves of a test had the following ratios: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 and also had a correlation between the two halves of a test at 1.00, .95, .90, .80, .70, .60, .50, .40, .30, .20, .10, .05. It was found that use of the Spearman-Brown formula to estimate the population ρ when the ratio between the standard deviations on two halves of a test is disparate, or beyond .9 to 1.1, was not warranted. Applied and theoretical examples …
Restricted Quasi-Independent Model Resolves Paradoxical Behaviors Of Cohen’S Kappa, Vicki Stover Hertzberg, Frank Xu, Michael Haber
Restricted Quasi-Independent Model Resolves Paradoxical Behaviors Of Cohen’S Kappa, Vicki Stover Hertzberg, Frank Xu, Michael Haber
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Cohen’s kappa, an index of inter-rater agreement, behaves paradoxically in 2×2 tables. λA is derived, an index from the restricted quasi-independent model for 2×2 tables. Simulation studies are used to demonstrate λA has superior performance compared to Scott’s pi. Moreover, λA does not show paradoxical behavior for 2×2 tables.
Maximum Tests Are Adaptive Permutation Tests, Markus Neuhäeuser, Ludwig A. Hothorn
Maximum Tests Are Adaptive Permutation Tests, Markus Neuhäeuser, Ludwig A. Hothorn
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In some areas, e.g., statistical genetics, it is common to apply a maximum test, where the maximum of several competing test statistics is used as a new statistic, and the permutation distribution of the maximum is used for inference. Here, it is shown that maximum tests are special cases of adaptive permutation tests. The 30-year old idea of adaptive statistical tests is more flexible than previously thought when permutation tests are used, and the selector statistic is calculated for every permutation. Because the independence between the selector and the test statistics is no longer needed, the test statistics themselves can …
Inferences About The Components Of A Generalized Additive Model, Rand R. Wilcox
Inferences About The Components Of A Generalized Additive Model, Rand R. Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A method for making inferences about the components of a generalized additive model is described. It is found that a variation of the method, based on means, performs well in simulations. Unlike many other inferential methods, switching from a mean to a 20% trimmed mean was found to offer little or no advantage in terms of both power and controlling the probability of a Type I error.
