Quantifying Bimodality Part 2: A Likelihood Ratio Test For The Comparison Of A Unimodal Normal Distribution And A Bimodal Mixture Of Two Normal Distributions. Bruno D. Zumbo Is, B. W. Frankland, Bruno D. Zumbo
Quantifying Bimodality Part 2: A Likelihood Ratio Test For The Comparison Of A Unimodal Normal Distribution And A Bimodal Mixture Of Two Normal Distributions. Bruno D. Zumbo Is, B. W. Frankland, Bruno D. Zumbo
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Scientists in a variety of fields are often faced with the question of whether a sample is best described as unimodal or bimodal. In an earlier paper (Frankland & Zumbo, 2002), a simple and convenient method for assessing bimodality was described. That method is extended by developing and demonstrating a likelihood ratio test (LRT) for bimodality for the comparison of a unimodal normal distribution and a bimodal mixture of two normal distributions. As in Frankland and Zumbo (2002), the LRT approach is demonstrated using algorithms in SPSS.

Quel Test For Two Linear Restrictions In The Nonlinear Models, Krishna K. Saha
Quel Test For Two Linear Restrictions In The Nonlinear Models, Krishna K. Saha
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An alternative Wald type test called the quel test is developed for two linear restrictions by finding the critical region based on the quel utilizing the repeated values of estimated parameters of interest under the null. Simulation shows evidence that the full quel test performs best in that it holds nominal level well and shows monotonic increasing power properties.
Comparative Power Of The Independent T, Permutation T, And Wilcoxontests, Michèle Weber, Shlomo Sawilowsky
Comparative Power Of The Independent T, Permutation T, And Wilcoxontests, Michèle Weber, Shlomo Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The nonparametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum (also known as the Mann-Whitney U) and the permutation t-tests are robust with respect to Type I error for departures from population normality, and both are powerful alternatives to the independent samples Student’s t-test for detecting shift in location. The question remains regarding their comparative statistical power for small samples, particularly for non-normal distributions. Monte Carlo simulations indicated the rank-based Wilcoxon test was found to be more powerful than both the t and the permutation t-tests.
Industrialization In Animal Agriculture: A Kalman Filter Analysis, Oya S. Erdogdu, Levent Ozbek
Industrialization In Animal Agriculture: A Kalman Filter Analysis, Oya S. Erdogdu, Levent Ozbek
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Studies discussing the effects of technological developments on (animal) agricultural production argue that the effective usage of chemicals and genetic engineering increase control over production processes, which in turn decreases seasonality (one significant factor defining agricultural production) significantly and brings standardization to production. Studies on broilery also show that production is not limited by nature determined seasons. Supply side changes accompanied by changes in demand have led to more healthier, standardized products. Using tools of economics and statistics, this study documents this transformation in animal agricultural production of beef, pork and milk. Results indicate decreasing seasonality, thus the industralization of …

Bias In Stabilized Sieve Sampling, Liming Guan, John P. Wendell
Bias In Stabilized Sieve Sampling, Liming Guan, John P. Wendell
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The stabilized sieve sample selection method (SSM) is considered to be a probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method with an unbiased estimator (Horgan 1997, 1998). This article demonstrates that SSM does not select items with PPS and that the point estimator is biased.
A New Approximate Bayesian Approach For Decision Making About The Variance Of A Gaussian Distribution Versus The Classical Approach, Vincent A. R. Camara
A New Approximate Bayesian Approach For Decision Making About The Variance Of A Gaussian Distribution Versus The Classical Approach, Vincent A. R. Camara
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Rules of decision-making about the variance of a Gaussian distribution are obtained and compared. Considering the square error loss function, an approximate Bayesian decision rule for the variance of a normal population is derived. Using normal data and SAS software, the obtained approximate Bayesian test results were compared to their counterparts obtained with the well-known classical decision rule. It is shown that the proposed approximate Bayesian decision rule relies only on observations. The classical decision rule, which uses the Chi-square statistic, does not always yield the best results: the proposed approach often performs better.

A Comparison Of Maximum Likelihood And Expected A Posteriori Estimation For Polychoric Correlation Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Jinsong Chen, Jaehwa Choi
A Comparison Of Maximum Likelihood And Expected A Posteriori Estimation For Polychoric Correlation Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Jinsong Chen, Jaehwa Choi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This study aims to compare the maximum likelihood (ML) and expected a posterior (EAP) estimation for polychoric correlation (PCC) under diverse conditions, especially when considering a sample size. As the ML is the classical solution to estimate PCC, the EAP is a new method based on Bayes’ theorem. Different types of prior distributions are also adapted to investigate the sensitivity of prior distribution onto the PCC estimate for the EAP case. The Monte Carlo simulation is used for this comparison by a specialized program code in MATLAB.
Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis For Testing Measurement Invariance In Mixed Item Format Data, Kim H. Koh, Bruno D. Zumbo
Multi-Group Confirmatory Factor Analysis For Testing Measurement Invariance In Mixed Item Format Data, Kim H. Koh, Bruno D. Zumbo
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This simulation study investigated the empirical Type I error rates of using the maximum likelihood estimation method and Pearson covariance matrix for multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) of full and strong measurement invariance hypotheses with mixed item format data that are ordinal in nature. The results indicate that mixed item formats and sample size combinations do not result in inflated empirical Type I error rates for rejecting the true measurement invariance hypotheses. Therefore, although the common methods are in a sense sub-optimal, they don’t lead to researchers claiming that measures are functioning differently across groups – i.e., a lack of …

Data Mining Ceo Compensation, Susan M. Adams, Atul Gupta, Dominique M. Haughton, John D. Leeth
Data Mining Ceo Compensation, Susan M. Adams, Atul Gupta, Dominique M. Haughton, John D. Leeth
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The need to pre-specify expected interactions between variables is an issue in multiple regression. Theoretical and practical considerations make it impossible to pre-specify all possible interactions. The functional form of the dependent variable on the predictors is unknown in many cases. Two ways are described in which the data mining technique Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) can be utilized: first, to obtain possible improvements in model specification, and second, to test for the robustness of findings from a regression analysis. An empirical illustration is provided to show how MARS can be used for both purposes.
Least Squares Percentage Regression, Chris Tofallis
Least Squares Percentage Regression, Chris Tofallis
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In prediction, the percentage error is often felt to be more meaningful than the absolute error. We therefore extend the method of least squares to deal with percentage errors, for both simple and multiple regression. Exact expressions are derived for the coefficients, and we show how such models can be estimated using standard software. When the relative error is normally distributed, least squares percentage regression is shown to provide maximum likelihood estimates. The multiplicative error model is linked to least squares percentage regression in the same way that the standard additive error model is linked to ordinary least squares regression.
Application Of Dynamic Poisson Models To Japanese Cancer Mortality Data, Shuichi Midorikawa, Etsuo Miyaoka, Bruce Smith
Application Of Dynamic Poisson Models To Japanese Cancer Mortality Data, Shuichi Midorikawa, Etsuo Miyaoka, Bruce Smith
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A dynamic Poisson model is used with a Bayesian approach to modeling to predict cancer mortality. The complexity of the posterior distribution prohibits direct evaluation of the posterior, and so parameters are estimated by using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. The model is applied to analyze lung and stomach cancer data which have been collected in Japan.

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 Factor Loadings In Exploratory Factor Analysis: A New Randomization Test, W. Holmes Finch, Brian F. French
Comparing Factor Loadings In Exploratory Factor Analysis: A New Randomization Test, W. Holmes Finch, Brian F. French
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Factorial invariance testing requires a referent loading to be constrained equal across groups. This study introduces a randomization test for comparing group exploratory factor analysis loadings so as to identify an invariant referent. Results show that it maintains the Type I error rate while providing adequate power under most conditions.
Variance Estimation In Time Series Regression Models, Samir Safi
Variance Estimation In Time Series Regression Models, Samir Safi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The effect of variance estimation of regression coefficients when disturbances are serially correlated in time series regression models is studied. Variance estimation enters into confidence interval estimation, hypotheses testing, spectrum estimation, and expressions for the estimated standard error of prediction. Using computer simulations, the robustness of various estimators, including Estimated Generalized Least Squares (EGLS) was considered. The estimates of variance of the coefficient estimators produced by computer packages were considered. Models were generated with a second order auto-correlated error structure, considering the robustness of estimators based upon misspecified order. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) (order zero) estimates outperformed first order EGLS. …

Using bootstrap methods, properties of various trimmed elemental estimator interval estimates to allow for inference are examined and estimates with ordinary least squares (OLS) and least sum of absolute values (LAV) are compared. Confidence intervals and coverage probabilities for the estimators using a variety of error distributions, sample sizes, and number of parameters are examined. To reduce computational intensity, randomly selecting elemental subsets to calculate the parameter …
Robust Predictive Inference For Multivariate Linear Models With Elliptically Contoured Distribution Using Bayesian, Classical And Structural Approaches, B. M. Golam Kibria
Robust Predictive Inference For Multivariate Linear Models With Elliptically Contoured Distribution Using Bayesian, Classical And Structural Approaches, B. M. Golam Kibria
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Predictive distributions of future response and future regression matrices under multivariate elliptically contoured distributions are discussed. Under the elliptically contoured response assumptions, these are identical to those obtained under matric normal or matric-t errors using structural, Bayesian with improper prior, or classical approaches. This gives inference robustness with respect to departure from the reference case of independent sampling from the matric normal or matric t to multivariate elliptically contoured distributions. The importance of the predictive distribution for skewed elliptical models is indicated; the elliptically contoured distribution, as well as matric t distribution, have significant applications in statistical practices.

The Multinomial Regression Modeling Of The Cause-Of-Death Mortality Of The Oldest Old In The U.S., Dudley L. Poston Jr., Hosik Min
The Multinomial Regression Modeling Of The Cause-Of-Death Mortality Of The Oldest Old In The U.S., Dudley L. Poston Jr., Hosik Min
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The statistical modeling of the causes of death of the oldest old (persons aged 80 and over) in the U.S. in 2001 was conducted in this article. Data were analyzed using a multinomial logistic regression model (MNLM) because multiple causes of death are coded on death certificates and the codes are nominal. The percentage distribution of the 10 major causes of death among the oldest old was first examined; we next estimated a multinomial logistic regression equation to predict the likelihood of elders dying of one of the causes of death compared to dying of an “other cause.” The independent …

Non-Parametric Quantile Selection For Extreme Distributions, Wan Zawiah Wan Zin, Abdul Aziz Jemain
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The objective is to select the best non-parametric quantile estimation method for extreme distributions. This serves as a starting point for further research in quantile application such as in parameter estimation using LQ-moments method. Thirteen methods of non-parametric quantile estimation were applied on six types of extreme distributions and their efficiencies compared. Monte Carlo methods were used to generate the results, which showed that the method of Weighted Kernel estimator of Type 1 was more efficient than the other methods in many cases.
