The Information Criterion, Masume Ghahramani
The Information Criterion, Masume Ghahramani
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The Akaike information criterion, AIC, is widely used for model selection. Using the AIC as the estimator of asymptotic unbias for the second term Kullbake-Leibler risk considers the divergence between the true model and offered models. However, it is an inconsistent estimator. A proposed approach the problem is the use of A'IC, a consistently offered information criterion. Model selection of classic and linear models are considered by a Monte Carlo simulation.
Gumbel-Weibull Distribution: Properties And Applications, Raid Al-Aqtash, Carl Lee, Felix Famoye
Gumbel-Weibull Distribution: Properties And Applications, Raid Al-Aqtash, Carl Lee, Felix Famoye
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Some properties of the Gumbel-Weibull distribution including the mean deviations and modes are studied. A detailed discussion of regions of unimodality and bimodality is given. The method of maximum likelihood is proposed for estimating the distribution parameters and a simulation is conducted to study the performance of the method. Three tests are given for testing the significance of a distribution parameter. The applications of Gumbel-Weibull distribution are emphasized. Five data sets are used to illustrate the flexibility of the distribution in fitting unimodal and bimodal data sets.
Fitting Stereotype Logistic Regression Models For Ordinal Response Variables In Educational Research (Stata), Xing Liu
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The stereotype logistic (SL) model is an alternative to the proportional odds (PO) model for ordinal response variables when the proportional odds assumption is violated. This model seems to be underutilized. One major reason is the constraint of current statistical software packages. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) cannot perform the SL regression analysis, and SAS does not have the procedure developed to directly estimate the model. The purpose of this article was to illustrate the stereotype logistic (SL) regression model, and apply it to estimate mathematics proficiency level of high school students using Stata. In addition, it compared …
Optimal Location Design For Prediction Of Spatial Correlated Environmental Functional Data, Mahdi Rasekhi, B. Jamshidi, F. Rivaz
Optimal Location Design For Prediction Of Spatial Correlated Environmental Functional Data, Mahdi Rasekhi, B. Jamshidi, F. Rivaz
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The optimal choice of sites to make spatial prediction is critical for a better understanding of really spatio-temporal data. It is important to obtain the essential spatio-temporal variability of the process in determining optimal design, because these data tend to exhibit both spatial and temporal variability. Two new methods of prediction for spatially correlated functional data are considered. The first method models spatial dependency by fitting variogram to empirical variogram, similar to ordinary kriging (univariate approach). The second method models spatial dependency by linear model co-regionalization (multivariate approach). The variance of prediction method was chosen as the optimization design criterion. …
Missing Data And The Statistical Modeling Of Adolescent Pregnancy, Dudley L. Poston Dr., Eugenia Conde Dr.
Missing Data And The Statistical Modeling Of Adolescent Pregnancy, Dudley L. Poston Dr., Eugenia Conde Dr.
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Missing data is a pervasive problem in social science research. Many techniques have been developed to handle the problem. Different ways of handling missing data were shown to lead to different results in statistical models. A demonstration was given based on statistical modeling of the likelihood of a woman reporting having had an adolescent pregnancy by handling missing data with several different approaches. Results indicate that many of the independent variables in the model vary in whether they are, or are not, statistically significant in predicting the log odds of a woman having a teen pregnancy, and in the ranking …
Conover’S F Test As An Alternative To Durbin’S Test, Donald J. Best, John Charles Rayner
Conover’S F Test As An Alternative To Durbin’S Test, Donald J. Best, John Charles Rayner
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Data consisting of ranks within blocks are considered for balanced incomplete block designs. An F test statistic from ANOVA is better approximated by an F distribution than the Durbin statistic is approximated by a chi-squared distribution. Indicative powers demonstrate that the F test is generally superior to Durbin’s test.

Extension of the results are given in the multivariate case under a joint independent component analysis method. Simulated applications are given and they show consistency of our approach. Estimation procedures for the bivariate case are provided.
Reliability Estimates Of Generalized Poisson Distribution And Generalized Geometric Series Distribution, Adil H. Khan, T R. Jan
Reliability Estimates Of Generalized Poisson Distribution And Generalized Geometric Series Distribution, Adil H. Khan, T R. Jan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Discrete distributions have played an important role in the reliability theory. In order to obtain Bayes estimators, researchers have adopted various conventional techniques. Generalizing the results of Maiti (1995), Chaturvadi and Tomer (2002) dealt with the problem of estimating P{X1, X2, …, Xk ≤ Y}, where random variables X and Y were assumed to follow a negative binomial distribution. Agit et al. obtained Bayesian estimates of the reliability functions and P{X1, X2, …, Xk ≤ Y} considering X and Y following binomial and Poisson …

Improved Randomization Tests For A Class Of Single-Case Intervention Designs, Joel R. Levin, John M. Ferron, Boris S. Gafurov
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Forty years ago, Eugene Edgington developed a single-case AB intervention design-and-analysis procedure based on a random determination of the point at which the B phase would start. In the present simulation studies encompassing a variety of AB-type contexts, it is demonstrated that by also randomizing the order in which the A and B phases are administered, a researcher can markedly increase the procedure’s statistical power.
Robust Winsorized Shrinkage Estimators For Linear Regression Model, Nileshkumar H. Jadhav, D N. Kashid
Robust Winsorized Shrinkage Estimators For Linear Regression Model, Nileshkumar H. Jadhav, D N. Kashid
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In multiple linear regression, the ordinary least squares estimator is very sensitive to the presence of multicollinearity and outliers in the response variable. To handle these problems in the data, Winsorized shrinkage estimators are proposed and the performance of these estimators is evaluated through mean square error sense.
Discrete Generalized Burr-Type Xii Distribution, B. A. Para, T. R. Jan
Discrete Generalized Burr-Type Xii Distribution, B. A. Para, T. R. Jan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A discrete analogue of generalized Burr-type XII distribution is introduced using a general approach of discretizing a continuous distribution. It may be worth exploring the possibility of developing a discrete version of the six parameter generalized Burr-type XII distribution for use in modeling a discrete data. This distribution is suggested as a suitable reliability model to fit a range of discrete lifetime data, as it is shown that hazard rate function can attain monotonic increasing (deceasing) shape for certain values of parameters. The equivalence of discrete generalized Burr-type XII (DGBD-XII) and continuous generalized Burr-type XII (GBD-XII) distributions has been established. …
Bayesian Estimation Of The Parameters Of Two-Component Mixture Of Rayleigh Distribution Under Doubly Censoring, Tahassum N. Sindhu, Navid Feroze, Muhammad Aslam
Bayesian Estimation Of The Parameters Of Two-Component Mixture Of Rayleigh Distribution Under Doubly Censoring, Tahassum N. Sindhu, Navid Feroze, Muhammad Aslam
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Recently, the Bayesian analysis of the two-component mixture of lifetime models under singly type I censored samples was discussed. The Bayes estimation of the parameters of mixture of two Rayleigh distributions (MTRD) is developed under doubly censoring. Different informative priors, under squared error loss function and k-loss function, have been assumed for the posterior estimation. The performance of different estimators has been compared in terms of posterior risks by analyzing the simulated and real life data sets.
Survival Estimation Using Bootstrap, Jackknife And K-Repeated Jackknife Methods, Johnson A. Adewara, Ugochukwu A. Mbata
Survival Estimation Using Bootstrap, Jackknife And K-Repeated Jackknife Methods, Johnson A. Adewara, Ugochukwu A. Mbata
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Three re-sampling techniques are used to estimate the survival probabilities from an exponential life-time distribution. The aim is to employ a technique to obtain a parameter estimate for a two-parameter exponential distribution. The re-sampling methods considered are: Bootstrap estimation method (BE), Jackknife estimation method (JE) and the k-repeated Jackknife estimation method (KJE). The methods were computed to obtain the mean square error (MSE) and mean percentage error (MPE) based on simulated data. The estimates of the two-parameter exponential distribution were substituted to estimate survival probabilities. Results show that the MSE value is reduced when the K–repeated jackknife method …
Some Methods Of Estimation From Censored Samples In Exponential And Gamma Models, R R. L Kantam, B Sriram
Some Methods Of Estimation From Censored Samples In Exponential And Gamma Models, R R. L Kantam, B Sriram
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Two popular life testing models exponential and one where its generalization is gamma are considered. Estimation of scale parameter from a general Type-II doubly censored sample is attempted by the principle of maximum likelihood method. Resulting equations found to be giving iterative solutions. As an alternative to iterative solution certain admissible modifications to the estimating equations are suggested in special cases. The resulting estimates are compared with the exact maximum likelihood estimates analytically or through simulation. The results are also extended for reliability estimation.

Comparison Of Estimators In Glm With Binary Data, D. M. Sakate, D. N. Kashid
Comparison Of Estimators In Glm With Binary Data, D. M. Sakate, D. N. Kashid
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) of regression parameters in the generalized linear models (GLM) are biased and their bias is non negligible when sample size is small. This study focuses on the GLM with binary data with multiple observations on response for each predictor value when sample size is small. The performance of the estimation methods in Cordeiro and McCullagh (1991), Firth (1993) and Pardo et al. (2005) are compared for GLM with binary data using an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. Performance of these methods for three real data sets is also compared.
Life Testing Analysis Of Failure Censored Generalized Exponentiated Data, Anwar Hassan, Mehraj Ahmad
Life Testing Analysis Of Failure Censored Generalized Exponentiated Data, Anwar Hassan, Mehraj Ahmad
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A generalized exponential distribution is considered for analyzing lifetime data; such statistical models are applicable when the observations are available in an ordered manner. This study examines failure censored data, which consist of testing n items and terminating the experiment when a pre-assigned number of items, for example r ( < n), have failed. Due to scale and shape parameters, both have flexibility for analyzing different types of lifetime data. This distribution has increasing, decreasing and a constant hazard rate depending on the shape parameter. This study provides maximum likelihood estimation and uniformly minimum variance unbiased techniques for the estimation of reliability of a component. Numerical computation was conducted on a data set and a comparison of the performance of two different techniques is presented.
Ridge Regression And Ill-Conditioning, Ghadban Khalaf, Mohamed Iguernane
Ridge Regression And Ill-Conditioning, Ghadban Khalaf, Mohamed Iguernane
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Hoerl and Kennard (1970) suggested the ridge regression estimator as an alternative to the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimator in the presence of multicollinearity. This article proposes new methods for estimating the ridge parameter in case of ordinary ridge regression. A simulation study evaluates the performance of the proposed estimators based on the Mean Squared Error (MSE) criterion and indicates that, under certain conditions, the proposed estimators perform well compared to the OLS estimator and another well-known estimator reviewed.
Estimation Of Multi Component Systems Reliability In Stress-Strength Models, Adil H. Khan, T R. Jan
Estimation Of Multi Component Systems Reliability In Stress-Strength Models, Adil H. Khan, T R. Jan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In a system with standby redundancy, there are a number of components only one of which works at a time and the other remain as standbys. When an impact of stress exceeds the strength of the active component, for the first time, it fails and another from standbys, if there is any, is activated and faces the impact of stresses, not necessarily identical as faced by the preceding component and the system fails when all the components have failed. Sriwastav and Kakaty (1981) assumed that the components stress-strengths are similarly distributed. However, in general the stress distributions will …
Estimation Of Gumbel Parameters Under Ranked Set Sampling, Omar M. Yousef, Sameer A. Al-Subh
Estimation Of Gumbel Parameters Under Ranked Set Sampling, Omar M. Yousef, Sameer A. Al-Subh
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Consider the MLEs (maximum likelihood estimators) of the parameters of the Gumbel distribution using SRS (simple random sample) and RSS (ranked set sample) and the MOMEs (method of moment estimators) and REGs (regression estimators) based on SRS. A comparison between these estimators using bias and MSE (mean square error) was performed using simulation. It appears that the MLE based on RSS can be a robust competitor to the MLE based on SRS.

Estimates And Forecasts Of Garch Model Under Misspecified Probability Distributions: A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach, Olaoluwa S. Yaya, Olusanya E. Olubusoye, Oluwadare O. Ojo
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The effect of misspecification of correct sampling probability distribution of Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic (GARCH) processes is considered. The three assumed distributions are the normal, Student t, and generalized error distributions. The GARCH process is sampled using one of the distributions and the model is estimated based on the three distributions in each sample. Parameter estimates and forecast performance are used to judge the estimated model for performance. The AR-GARCH-GED performed better on the three assumed distributions; even, when Student t distribution is assumed, AR-GARCH-Student t does not perform as the best model.

Double Bootstrap Confidence Interval Estimates With Censored And Truncated Data, Jayanthi Arasan, Mohd B. Adam
Double Bootstrap Confidence Interval Estimates With Censored And Truncated Data, Jayanthi Arasan, Mohd B. Adam
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Traditional inferential procedures often fail with censored and truncated data, especially when sample sizes are small. In this paper we evaluate the performances of the double and single bootstrap interval estimates by comparing the double percentile (DB-p), double percentile-t (DB-t), single percentile (B-p), and percentile-t (B-t) bootstrap interval estimation methods via a coverage probability study when the data is censored using the log logistic model. We then apply the double bootstrap intervals to real right censored lifetime data on 32 women with breast cancer and failure data on 98 brake pads where all the observations were left truncated.
Light Pollution Research Through Citizen Science, John Kanemoto
Light Pollution Research Through Citizen Science, John Kanemoto
STAR Program Research Presentations
Light pollution (LP) can disrupt and/or degrade the health of all living things, as well as, their environments. The goal of my research at the NOAO was to check the accuracy of the citizen science LP reporting systems entitled: Globe at Night (GaN), Dark Sky Meter (DSM), and Loss of the Night (LoN). On the GaN webpage, the darkness of the night sky (DotNS) is reported by selecting a magnitude chart. Each magnitude chart has a different density/number of stars around a specific constellation. The greater number of stars implies a darker night sky. Within the DSM iPhone application, a …
The Impact Of Student Performance On Large-Scale Assessments: A View Of Long-Term Health, Career, And Societal Outcomes, Roman Usatin
The Impact Of Student Performance On Large-Scale Assessments: A View Of Long-Term Health, Career, And Societal Outcomes, Roman Usatin
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
This study examined the predictive power of student growth for large-scale assessments on meaningful life outcomes, focusing on the three categories of health, career, and societal involvement. Analysis was conducted using the NELS:88/00 dataset–a longitudinal study that followed a nationally-representative sample of over 12,000 eighth grade students from 1988 to 2000, until the students were 26 years old and entered into the work force. The large-scale assessment variables included math and reading performance in the 1988 cognitive batteries administered by NELS. To gauge growth levels, I generated Student Growth Percentiles (SGP) from tests administered by NELS from 1988 to 1992. …
Musical Missteps: The Severity Of The Sophomore Slump In The Music Industry, Shane M. Zackery
Musical Missteps: The Severity Of The Sophomore Slump In The Music Industry, Shane M. Zackery
Scripps Senior Theses
This study looks at alternative models of follow-up album success in order to determine if there is a relationship between the decrease in Metascore ratings (assigned by Metacritic.com) between the first and second album for a musician or band and the 1) music genre or 2) the number of years between the first and second album release. The results support the dominant thought, which suggests that neither belonging to a certain genre of music nor waiting more or less time to drop the second album makes an artist more susceptible to the Sophomore Slump. This finding is important because it …
Bias And Precision Of The Squared Canonical Correlation Coefficient Under Nonnormal Data Condition, Lesley F. Leach, Robin K. Henson
Bias And Precision Of The Squared Canonical Correlation Coefficient Under Nonnormal Data Condition, Lesley F. Leach, Robin K. Henson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Monte Carlo methods were employed to investigate the effect of nonnormality on the bias associated with the squared canonical correlation coefficient (Rc2). The majority of Rc2 estimates were found to be extremely biased, but the magnitude of bias was impacted little by the degree of nonnormality.
Stochastic Randomized Response Model For A Quantitative Sensitive Random Variable, Sarjinder Singh, Stephen A. Sedory
Stochastic Randomized Response Model For A Quantitative Sensitive Random Variable, Sarjinder Singh, Stephen A. Sedory
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A new stochastic randomized response model is introduced that is useful for estimating the population mean of a sensitive quantitative variable. The proposed stochastic randomized response model is an extension of the stochastic randomized response model from a qualitative sensitive variable to a quantitative variable found in Singh (2002). The stochastic nature of a randomized response device helps increase a respondent’s cooperation while collecting information on sensitive variables in a society. The Bar-Lev, Bobovitch, and Boukai (2004) model is shown to be a special case of the proposed model.
Ridge Regression In Calibration Models With Symmetric Padding Extension-Daubechies Wavelet Transform Preprocessing, Nurwiani, S Sunaryo, Setiawan, B W. Otok
Ridge Regression In Calibration Models With Symmetric Padding Extension-Daubechies Wavelet Transform Preprocessing, Nurwiani, S Sunaryo, Setiawan, B W. Otok
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Wavelet transformation is commonly used in calibration models as a preprocessing step. This preprocessing does not involve all results of a spectrum discretization; consequently, a lot of information can be missing. To avoid missing information, a symmetric padding extension (SPE) can be used to place all data points into dyadic scales, however, high dimensional discretization points need to be reduced. Dimension reduction can be performed with Daubechies wavelet transformation (DWT). Scale function and Daubechies wavelet are continuous functions, thus they perform a faster approximation. SPE-DWT preprocessing combines SPE and DWT. Multicollinearity often occurs in calibration models; the ridge regression (RR) …
