Robust Heteroscedasticity Consistent Covariance Matrix Estimator Based On Robust Mahalanobis Distance And Diagnostic Robust Generalized Potential Weighting Methods In Linear Regression, M. Habshah, Muhammad Sani, Jayanthi Arasan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The violation of the assumption of homoscedasticity and the presence of high leverage points (HLPs) are common in the use of regression models. The weighted least squares can provide the solution to heteroscedastic regression model if the heteroscedastic error structures are known. Based on Furno (1996), two robust weighting methods are proposed based on HLP detection measures (robust Mahalanobis distance based on minimum volume ellipsoid and diagnostic robust generalized potential based on index set equality (DRGP(ISE)) on robust heteroscedasticity consistent covariance matrix estimators. Results obtained from a simulation study and real data sets indicated the DRGP(ISE) method is superior.

Internal Consistency Reliability In Measurement: Aggregate And Multilevel Approaches, Georgios Sideridis, Abdullah Saddaawi, Khaleel Al-Harbi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate the internal consistency reliability of the General Teacher Test assuming clustered and non-clustered data using commercial software (Mplus). Participants were 2,000 testees who were selected using random sampling from a larger pool of examinees (more than 65k). The measure involved four factors, namely: (a) planning for learning, (b) promoting learning, (c) supporting learning, and (d) professional responsibilities and was hypothesized to comprise a unidimensional instrument assessing generalized skills and competencies. Intra-class correlation coefficients and variance ratio statistics suggested the need to incorporate a clustering variable (i.e., university) when evaluating the factor …

An Explanatory Study On The Non-Parametric Multivariate T2 Control Chart, Abdolrasoul Mostajeran, Nasrolah Iranpanah, Rassoul Noorossana
An Explanatory Study On The Non-Parametric Multivariate T2 Control Chart, Abdolrasoul Mostajeran, Nasrolah Iranpanah, Rassoul Noorossana
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Most control charts require the assumption of normal distribution for observations. When distribution is not normal, one can use non-parametric control charts such as sign control chart. A deficiency of such control charts could be the loss of information due to replacing an observation with its sign or rank. Furthermore, because the chart statistics of T2 are correlated, the T2 chart is not a desire performance. Non-parametric bootstrap algorithm could help to calculate control chart parameters using the original observations while no assumption regarding the distribution is needed. In this paper, first, a bootstrap multivariate control chart is …
Optimum Stratification In Bivariate Auxiliary Variables Under Neyman Allocation, Faizan Danish, S.E.H. Rizvi
Optimum Stratification In Bivariate Auxiliary Variables Under Neyman Allocation, Faizan Danish, S.E.H. Rizvi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In several situations complete data set of the study variable is unknown that becomes a stumbling block in various stratification techniques in order to obtain stratification points on two way stratification method. In this paper a technique has been proposed under Neyman allocation when the stratification is done oj the two auxiliary variable having one estimation variable under consideration. Due to complexities created by minimal equations approximate optimum strata boundaries has been obtained. Empirical study has been done to illustrate the proposed method when the auxiliary variables have standard Cauchy and power distributions.
Estimation Of Zero-Inflated Population Mean: A Bootstrapping Approach, Khyam Paneru, R. Noah Padgett, Hanfeng Chen
Estimation Of Zero-Inflated Population Mean: A Bootstrapping Approach, Khyam Paneru, R. Noah Padgett, Hanfeng Chen
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A mixture model was adopted from the maximum pseudo-likelihood approach under complex sampling designs to estimate the mean of zero-inflated population. To overcome the complexity and assumptions of asymptotic distribution, the maximum pseudo-likelihood function was used, but a bootstrapping procedure was proposed as an alternative. Bootstrap confidence intervals consistently capture the true means of zero-inflated populations of the simulation studies.

Moment Generating Functions Of Complementary Exponential-Geometric Distribution Based On K-Th Lower Record Values, Devendra Kumar, Sanku Dey, Mansoor Rashid Malik, Fahad M. Al-Aboud
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The complementary exponential-geometric (CEG) distribution is a useful model for analyzing lifetime data. For this distribution, some recurrence relations satisfied by marginal and joint moment generating functions of k-th lower record values were established. They enable the computation of the means, variances, and covariances of k-th lower record values for all sample sizes in a simple and efficient recursive manner. Means, variances, and covariances of lower record values were tabulated from samples of sizes up to 10 for various values of the parameters.
Optimal Model Selection For Truncated Data Among Non-Nested Competitive Models, Parisa Torkaman
Optimal Model Selection For Truncated Data Among Non-Nested Competitive Models, Parisa Torkaman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Selecting a model for incomplete data is an important issue. Truncated data is an example of incomplete data, which sometimes occurs due to inherent limitations. The maximum likelihood estimator features and its asymptotic distribution are studied, and a test statistic among non-nested competitive model of incomplete data is presented, which can select an appropriate model close to the true model. This close-to-true model under the null hypothesis of the equivalency of two competitive models against alternative hypothesis is selected.

The Transmuted Exponentiated Additive Weibull Distribution: Properties And Applications, Zohdy M. Nofal, Ahmed Z. Afify, Haitham M. Yousof, Daniele Cristina Tita Granzotto, Francisco Louzada
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A new generalization of the transmuted additive Weibull distribution is proposed by using the quadratic rank transmutation map, the so-called transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution. It retains the characteristics of a good model. It is more flexible, being able to analyze more complex data; it includes twenty-seven sub-models as special cases and it is interpretable. Several mathematical properties of the new distribution as closed forms for ordinary and incomplete moments, quantiles, and moment generating function are presented, as well as the MLEs. The usefulness of the model is illustrated by using two real data sets.
Modeling Insurance Claims Using Flexible Skewed And Mixture Probability Distributions, Aaron J. Leinwander, Mohammad A. Aziz
Modeling Insurance Claims Using Flexible Skewed And Mixture Probability Distributions, Aaron J. Leinwander, Mohammad A. Aziz
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The normal distribution comes as a first choice when fitting real data, but it may not be suitable if the assumed distribution deviates from normality. Flexible skewed distributions are capable of including skewness and taking into account multimodality. They may be applied to find appropriate distributions for describing the claim amounts in insurance. The objective is to model insurance claims using a set of flexible skewed and mixture probability distributions, and to test how well they fit the claims. Results indicate the skew-t distribution and alpha-skew Laplace distribution are able to describe unimodal claims accurately, whereas scale mixture of …
Single Missing Data Imputation In Pls-Based Structural Equation Modeling, Ned Kock
Single Missing Data Imputation In Pls-Based Structural Equation Modeling, Ned Kock
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Missing data, a source of bias in structural equation modeling (SEM) employing the partial least squares method (PLS), are commonly handled with deletion methods such as listwise and pairwise deletion. Missing data imputation methods do not resort to deletion. Five single missing data imputation methods are considered employing the PLS Mode A algorithm of which two hierarchical methods are new. The results of a Monte Carlo experiment suggest that Multiple Regression Imputation yielded the least biased mean path coefficient estimates, followed by Arithmetic Mean Imputation. With respect to mean loading estimates, Arithmetic Mean Imputation yielded the least biased results, followed …

Approximating The Distribution Of Indefinite Quadratic Forms In Normal Variables By Maximum Entropy Density Estimation, Ghasem Rekabdar, Rahim Chinipardaz
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The quadratic form of non-central normal variables is presented based on a sum of weighted independent non-central chi-square variables. This presentation provides moments of quadratic form. The maximum entropy method is used to estimate the density function because distribution moments of quadratic forms are known. A Euclidean distance is proposed to select an appropriate maximum entropy density function. In order to compare with other methods some numerical examples were evaluated. Also, for discrimination between two groups by the Euclidean distances, we obtained a stochastic representation for the linear discriminant function using the quadratic form. The maximum entropy estimation was an …
Semi-Parametric Method To Estimate The Time-To-Failure Distribution And Its Percentiles For Simple Linear Degradation Model, Laila Naji Ba Dakhn, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem, Omar Eidous
Semi-Parametric Method To Estimate The Time-To-Failure Distribution And Its Percentiles For Simple Linear Degradation Model, Laila Naji Ba Dakhn, Mohammed Al-Haj Ebrahem, Omar Eidous
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Most reliability studies obtained reliability information by using degradation measurements over time, which contains useful data about the product reliability. Parametric methods like the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator and the ordinary least square (OLS) estimator are used widely to estimate the time-to-failure distribution and its percentiles. In this article, we estimate the time-to-failure distribution and its percentiles by using a semi-parametric estimator that assumes the parametric function to have a half- normal distribution or an exponential distribution. The performance of the semi-parametric estimator is compared via simulation study with the ML and OLS estimators by using the mean square error …

Modeling Agreement Between Binary Classifications Of Multiple Raters In R And Sas, Aya A. Mitani, Kerrie P. Nelson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Cancer screening and diagnostic tests often are classified using a binary outcome such as diseased or not diseased. Recently large-scale studies have been conducted to assess agreement between many raters. Measures of agreement using the class of generalized linear mixed models were implemented efficiently in four recently introduced R and SAS packages in large-scale agreement studies incorporating binary classifications. Simulation studies were conducted to compare the performance across the packages and apply the agreement methods to two cancer studies.
