Estimation And Hypothesis Testing In Lav Regression With Autocorrelated Errors: Is Correction For Autocorrelation Helpful?, Terry E. Dielman
Estimation And Hypothesis Testing In Lav Regression With Autocorrelated Errors: Is Correction For Autocorrelation Helpful?, Terry E. Dielman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Using the Prais-Winsten correction and adding a lagged variable provides improved estimates (smaller MSE) in least absolute value (LAV) regression when moderate to high levels of autocorrelation are present. When comparing empirical levels of significance for hypothesis tests, adding a lagged variable outperforms other approaches but has a relative high empirical level of significance.
Control Balanced Designs Involving Sequences Of Treatments, Cini Varghese, Seema Jaggi
Control Balanced Designs Involving Sequences Of Treatments, Cini Varghese, Seema Jaggi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Designs involving sequences of treatments for test vs. control comparisons are suitable for research in which each experimental unit receives treatments over time in order to compare several test treatments to one (or more) control treatment(s). These designs can be advantageously used in screening experiments and bioequivalence trials. Three series of such designs are constructed in incomplete sequences wherein the first class of designs is variance balanced while the other two classes of designs are partially variance balanced for test versus test comparisons of both direct and residual effects of treatments.
Probabilistic Inferences For The Sample Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Jeffrey R. Harring, John A. Wasko
Probabilistic Inferences For The Sample Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Jeffrey R. Harring, John A. Wasko
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Fisher’s correlation transformation is commonly used to draw inferences regarding the reliability of tests comprised of dichotomous or polytomous items. It is illustrated theoretically and empirically that omitting test length and difficulty results in inflated Type I error. An empirically unbiased correction is introduced within the transformation that is applicable under any test conditions.
Non-Homogenous Poisson Process For Evaluating Stage I & Ii Ductal Breast Cancer Treatment, Chris P. Tsokos, Yong Xu
Non-Homogenous Poisson Process For Evaluating Stage I & Ii Ductal Breast Cancer Treatment, Chris P. Tsokos, Yong Xu

Non-Homogenous Poisson Process (NHPP), also known as the Power Law process (PLP) or the Weibull Process, is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a given treatment for Stage I & II ductal breast cancer patients. The behavior of the shape parameter of the intensity function is examined to evaluate the response of a given treatment with respect to its effectiveness for a cancer subject.
On Maximum Likelihood Estimators Of The Parameters Of A Modified Weibull Distribution Using Extreme Ranked Set Sampling, Amer Ibrahim Al-Omari, Said Ali Al-Hadhrami
On Maximum Likelihood Estimators Of The Parameters Of A Modified Weibull Distribution Using Extreme Ranked Set Sampling, Amer Ibrahim Al-Omari, Said Ali Al-Hadhrami
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) is considered to estimate the three parameters and population mean of the modified Weibull distribution (MWD). The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is investigated and compared to the corresponding one based on simple random sampling (SRS). It is found that, the MLE based on ERSS is more efficient than MLE using SRS for estimating the three parameters of the MWD. The ERSS estimator of the population mean of the MWD is also found to be more efficient than the SRS based on the same number of measured units.
Identifying Outliers In Fuzzy Time Series, S. Suresh, K. Senthamarai Kannan
Identifying Outliers In Fuzzy Time Series, S. Suresh, K. Senthamarai Kannan
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Time series analysis is often associated with the discovery of patterns and prediction of features. Forecasting accuracy can be improved by removing identified outliers in the data set using the Cook’s distance and Studentized residual test. In this paper a modified fuzzy time series method is proposed based on transition probability vector membership function. It is experimentally shown that the proposed method minimizes the average forecasting error compared with other known existing methods.
Modeling Repairable System Failures With Interval Failure Data And Time Dependent Covariate, Jayanthi Arasan, Samira Ehsani
Modeling Repairable System Failures With Interval Failure Data And Time Dependent Covariate, Jayanthi Arasan, Samira Ehsani
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An application of a repairable system model for interval failure data with a time dependent covariate is examined. The performance of several models based on the NHPP when applied to real data on ball bearing failures is also explored. The best model for the data was selected based on results of the likelihood ratio test. The bootstrapping technique was applied to obtain the variance estimate for the estimated expected number of failures. Results demonstrate that the proposed model works well and is easy to implement, in addition the bootstrap variance estimate provides a simple substitute for the traditional estimate.

Higher Order C(T, P, S) Crossover Designs, James F. Reed Iii
Higher Order C(T, P, S) Crossover Designs, James F. Reed Iii
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A crossover study is a repeated measures design in which each subject is randomly assigned to a sequence of treatments, including at least two treatments. The most damning characteristic of a crossover study is the potential of a carryover effect of one treatment to the next period. To solve the first-order crossover problem characteristic in the classic AB|BA design, the design must be extended. One alternative uses additional treatment sequences in two periods; a second option is to add a third period and repeat one of the treatments. Assuming a traditional model that specifies a first-order carryover effect, this study …
Model Diagnostics For Proportional And Partial Proportional Odds Models, Ann A. O'Connell, Xing Liu
Model Diagnostics For Proportional And Partial Proportional Odds Models, Ann A. O'Connell, Xing Liu
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Although widely used to assist in evaluating the prediction quality of linear and logistic regression models, residual diagnostic techniques are not well developed for regression analyses where the outcome is treated as ordinal. The purpose of this article is to review methods of model diagnosis that may be useful in investigating model assumptions and in identifying unusual cases for PO and PPO models, and provide a corresponding application of these diagnostic methods to the prediction of proficiency in early literacy for children drawn from the kindergarten cohort of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS-K; NCES, 2000).
Sample Size Considerations For Multiple Comparison Procedures In Anova, Gordon P. Brooks, George A. Johanson
Sample Size Considerations For Multiple Comparison Procedures In Anova, Gordon P. Brooks, George A. Johanson
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Adequate sample sizes for omnibus ANOVA tests do not necessarily provide sufficient statistical power for post hoc multiple comparisons typically performed following a significant omnibus F test. Results reported support a comparison-of-most-interest approach for sample size determination in ANOVA based on effect sizes for multiple comparisons.
Type I Error Inflation Of The Separate-Variances Welch T Test With Very Small Sample Sizes When Assumptions Are Met, Albert K. Adusah, Gordon P. Brooks
Type I Error Inflation Of The Separate-Variances Welch T Test With Very Small Sample Sizes When Assumptions Are Met, Albert K. Adusah, Gordon P. Brooks
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This Monte Carlo study shows that the separate-variances Welch t test has inflated Type I error rates at very small sample sizes, especially when sample sizes are very small in one group and larger in the second group – even when all assumptions for the statistical test are met.
One Is Not Enough: The Need For Multiple Respondents In Survey Research Of Organizations, Joseph L. Balloun, Hilton Barrett, Art Weinstein
One Is Not Enough: The Need For Multiple Respondents In Survey Research Of Organizations, Joseph L. Balloun, Hilton Barrett, Art Weinstein
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The need for multiple respondents per organization in organizational survey research is supported. Leadership teams’ ratings of their implementations of market orientation are examined, along with learning orientation, entrepreneurial management, and organizational flexibility. Sixty diverse organizations, including not-for-profit organizations in education and healthcare as well as manufacturing and service businesses, were included. The major finding was the large rating variance within the leadership teams of each organization. The results are enlightening and have definite implications for improved design of survey research on organizations.
Is Next Twelve Months Period Tumor Recurrence Free Under Restricted Rate Due To Medication? A Probabilistic Warning, Ramalingam Shanmugam
Is Next Twelve Months Period Tumor Recurrence Free Under Restricted Rate Due To Medication? A Probabilistic Warning, Ramalingam Shanmugam
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A methodology is formulated to analyze tumor recurrence data when its incidence rate is restricted due to medication. Analytic results are derived to make a probabilistic early warning of tumor recurrence free period of length τ; that is, the chance for a safe period of lengthτ is estimated. The captured data are length biased. Expressions are developed to extract and relate to counterparts of the non-length biased data. Three data sets are considered as illustrations: (1) patients who are given a placebo, (2) patients who are given the medicine pyridoxine and (3) patients who are given the medicine thiotepa.
The Likelihood Of Choosing The Borda-Winner With Partial Preference Rankings Of The Electorate, Ömer Eğecioğlu, Ayça Ebru Giritligil
The Likelihood Of Choosing The Borda-Winner With Partial Preference Rankings Of The Electorate, Ömer Eğecioğlu, Ayça Ebru Giritligil
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Given that n voters report only the first r (1 ≤ r < m) ranks of their linear preference rankings over m alternatives, the likelihood of implementing Borda outcome is investigated. The information contained in the first r ranks is aggregated through a Borda-like method, namely the r-Borda rule. Monte-Carlo simulations are run to detect changes in the likelihood of r-Borda winner(s) to coincide with the original Borda winner(s) as a function of m, n and r. The voters’ preferences are generated through the Impartial Anonymous and Neutral Culture Model, where both the names of the …
An Exact Test For The Equality Of Intraclass Correlation Coefficients Under Unequal Family Sizes, Madhusudan Bhandary, Koji Fujiwara
An Exact Test For The Equality Of Intraclass Correlation Coefficients Under Unequal Family Sizes, Madhusudan Bhandary, Koji Fujiwara
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An exact test for the equality of two intraclass correlation coefficients under unequal family sizes based on two independent multi-normal samples is proposed. This exact test consistently and reliably produced results superior to those of the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) and the large sample Z-test proposed by Young and Bhandary (1998). The test generally performed better in terms of power (for higher intraclass correlation values) for various combinations of intraclass correlation coefficient values and the exact test remained closer to the significance level under the null hypothesis compared to the other two tests. For small sample situations, sizes of the …
Extension Of Grizzle’S Classic Crossover Design, James F. Reed Iii
Extension Of Grizzle’S Classic Crossover Design, James F. Reed Iii
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The crossover design compares treatments A and B over two periods using sequences AB and BA (the AB|BA design) and is the classic design most often illustrated and critiqued in textbooks. Other crossover designs have been used but their use is relatively rare and not always well understood. This article introduces alternatives to a randomized two-treatment, two-period crossover study design. One strategy, which is to extend the classic AB|BA by adding a third period to repeat one of the two treatments, has several attractive advantages; an added treatment period may not imply a large additional cost but will allow carryover …

Estimation Of Population Mean In Successive Sampling By Sub-Sampling Non-Respondents, Housila P. Singh, Sunil Kumar, Sandeep Bhougal
Estimation Of Population Mean In Successive Sampling By Sub-Sampling Non-Respondents, Housila P. Singh, Sunil Kumar, Sandeep Bhougal
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The estimation of the population mean in mail surveys is investigated in the context of sampling on two occasions where the population mean of the auxiliary variable is available in the presence of non-response only for the current occasion in two occasion successive sampling. The behavior of the proposed estimator is compared with the estimator for the same situation but in the absence of non-response. An empirical illustration demonstrates the performance of the proposed estimator.
Fisher’S Exact Test For Misclassified Data, Tze-San Lee
Fisher’S Exact Test For Misclassified Data, Tze-San Lee
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Tunis. Fisher’s exact test is adapted to handle the misclassified data arising from comparing two binomial populations. The bias-adjusted odds ratio is proposed to account for misclassification errors. Its expected power depends in a nonlinear way on the true sensitivity and specificity of the classification method. The data taken from the no conviction rate of criminality for two types of twin populations was used to illustrate how to calculate true sensitivity and specificity and the expected power of the adjusted odds ratio.
Improved Estimation Of The Population Mean Using Known Parameters Of An Auxiliary Variable, Rajesh Tailor, Balkishan Sharma
Improved Estimation Of The Population Mean Using Known Parameters Of An Auxiliary Variable, Rajesh Tailor, Balkishan Sharma
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An improved ratio-cum-product type estimator of the finite population mean is proposed using known information on the coefficient of variation of an auxiliary variate and correlation coefficient between a study variate and an auxiliary variate. Realistic conditions are obtained under which the proposed estimator is more efficient than the simple mean estimator, usual ratio and product estimators and estimators proposed by Singh and Diwivedi (1981), Pandey and Dubey (1988), Upadhaya and Singh (1999), and Singh, et al., (2004). An empirical study supports theoretical findings.

Inference In Simple Regression For The Intercept Utilizing Prior Information On The Slope, Ayman Baklizi, Adil E. Yousif
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Shrinkage type estimators are developed for the intercept parameter of a simple linear regression model and the case when it is suspected a priori that the slope parameter is equal to some specific value is considered. Three different estimators of the intercept parameters are examined. The relative performances of the estimators are investigated based on a simulation study of the biases and mean squared errors. The associated bootstrap confidence intervals are also studied and their performance is evaluated.

A Test That Combines Frequency And Quantitative Information, Norman Cliff
A Test That Combines Frequency And Quantitative Information, Norman Cliff
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In many simple designs, observed frequencies in subclasses defined by a qualitative variable are compared to the frequencies expected on the basis of population proportions, design parameters or models. Often there is a quantitative variable which may be affected in the same way as the frequencies. Its differences among the groups may also be analyzed. A simple test is described that combines the effects on the frequencies and on the quantitative variable based on comparing the sums of the values for the quantitative value within each group to the random expectation. The sampling variance of the difference is derived and …
