Comparison Of Bootstrap With Other Tests For Several Distributions, Yu-Yu Wong
Comparison Of Bootstrap With Other Tests For Several Distributions, Yu-Yu Wong
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This paper discusses results of a computer simulation to investigate several different tests when sampling several distributions. The hypothesis H0: μ=0 was tested against H0: μ≠0, using the usual t-test, trimmed t-test, the Jackkinfe, the Bootstrap and signed-rank test. The p-values and empirical power show that the Bootstrap is as good as the t-test. The Jackknife procedure is too liberal, always obtaining small p-values. The signed-rank is a fairly good test if the data follows the Cauchy Distribution.
Comparison Of Transition Matrices Between Metropolitan And Non-Metropolitan Areas In The State Of Utah Using Juvenile Court Data, Sung-Ik Song
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The purpose of this paper is to use Markov Chains for the study of youths referred to the juvenile court in the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas of the state of Utah.
Two computer programs were written for creating case histories for each person referred to the court and for testing for the significance of the difference among several transition matrices.
Another computer program, which was written by Soo Hong Uh, was used for analyzing realizations of a Markov chains up to the 4th order; a third computer program, originally written by David White, was used for interpreting Markov chains.
