Aligned Rank Tests As Robust Alternatives For Testing Interactions In Multiple Group Repeated Measures Designs With Heterogeneous Covariances, Xiaosheng Lei, Janet K. Holt, T. Mark Beasley
Aligned Rank Tests As Robust Alternatives For Testing Interactions In Multiple Group Repeated Measures Designs With Heterogeneous Covariances, Xiaosheng Lei, Janet K. Holt, T. Mark Beasley
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Data simulation was used to investigate whether tests performed on aligned ranks (Beasley, 2002) could be used as robust alternatives to parametric methods for testing a split-plot interaction with non-normal data and heterogeneous covariance matrices. Results indicated the aligned rank method do not have any distinct advantage over parametric methods in this situation.
Multivariate And Multistrata Nonparametric Tests: The Nonparametric Combination Method, Livio Corain, Luigi Salmaso
Multivariate And Multistrata Nonparametric Tests: The Nonparametric Combination Method, Livio Corain, Luigi Salmaso
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Researchers and practitioners in many scientific disciplines and industrial fields are often faced with complex problems when dealing with comparisons between two or more groups using classical parametric methods. The data arising from real problems rarely are in agreement with stringent parametric assumptions. The NonParametric Combination (NPC) methodology frees the researcher from stringent assumptions of parametric methods and allows a more flexible analysis, both in terms of specification of multivariate hypotheses and in terms of the nature of the variables involved in the analysis. An outline of NPC methodology is given, along with case studies.
On Comparison Of Hypothesis Tests In The Bayesian Framework Without Loss Function, Vladimir Gercsik, Mark Kelbert
On Comparison Of Hypothesis Tests In The Bayesian Framework Without Loss Function, Vladimir Gercsik, Mark Kelbert
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The problem is how to compare the quality of different hypothesis tests in a Bayesian framework without introducing a loss function. Three different linear orders on the set of all possible hypothesis tests are studied. The most natural order estimates the Fisher information between indicators of event and decision.

Beta-Normal Distribution: Bimodality Properties And Application, Felix Famoye, Carl Lee, Nicholas Eugene
Beta-Normal Distribution: Bimodality Properties And Application, Felix Famoye, Carl Lee, Nicholas Eugene
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The beta-normal distribution is characterized by four parameters that jointly describe the location, the scale and the shape properties. The beta-normal distribution can be unimodal or bimodal. This paper studies the bimodality properties of the beta-normal distribution. The region of bimodality in the parameter space is obtained. The beta-normal distribution is applied to fit a numerical bimodal data set. The beta-normal fits are compared with the fits of mixture-normal distribution through simulation.
Some Improvements In Kernel Estimation Using Line Transect Sampling, Omar M. Eidous
Some Improvements In Kernel Estimation Using Line Transect Sampling, Omar M. Eidous
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Kernel estimation provides a nonparametric estimate of the probability density function from which a set of data is drawn. This article proposes a method to choose a reference density in bandwidth calculation for kernel estimator using line transect sampling. The method based on testing the shoulder condition, if the shoulder condition seems to be valid using as reference the half normal density, while if the shoulder condition does not seem to be valid, we will use exponential reference density. Accordingly, the performances of the resultant estimator are studied under a wide range of underlying models using simulation techniques. The results …
A Visually Adaptive Bayesian Model In Wavelet Regression, Dongfeng Wu
A Visually Adaptive Bayesian Model In Wavelet Regression, Dongfeng Wu
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The implementation of a Bayesian approach to wavelet regression that corresponds to the human visual system is examined. Most existing research in this area assumes non-informative priors, that is, a prior with mean zero. A new way is offered to implement prior information that mimics a visual inspection of noisy data, to obtain a first impression about the shape of the function that results in a prior with non-zero mean. This visually adaptive Bayesian (VAB) prior has a simple structure, intuitive interpretation, and is easy to implement. Skorohod topology is suggested as a more appropriate measure in signal recovering than …
Estimation Using Bivariate Extreme Ranked Set Sampling With Application To The Bivariate Normal Distribution, Mohammad Fraiwan Al-Saleh, Hani M. Samawi
Estimation Using Bivariate Extreme Ranked Set Sampling With Application To The Bivariate Normal Distribution, Mohammad Fraiwan Al-Saleh, Hani M. Samawi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In this article, the procedure of bivariate extreme ranked set sampling (BVERSS) is introduced and investigated as a procedure of obtaining more accurate samples for estimating the parameters of bivariate populations. This procedure takes its strength from the advantages of bivariate ranked set sampling (BVRSS) over the usual ranked set sampling in dealing with two characteristics simultaneously, and the advantages of extreme ranked set sampling (ERSS) over usual RSS in reducing the ranking errors and hence in being more applicable. The BVERSS procedure will be applied to the case of the parameters of the bivariate normal distributions. Illustration using real …
Kernel-Based Estimation Of P(X Less Than Y)With Paired Data, Omar M. Eidous, Ayman Baklizi
Kernel-Based Estimation Of P(X Less Than Y)With Paired Data, Omar M. Eidous, Ayman Baklizi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A point estimation of P(X < Y) was considered. A nonparametric estimator for P(X < Y) was developed using the kernel density estimator of the joint distribution of X and Y, may be dependent. The resulting estimator was found to be similar to the estimator based on the sign statistic, however it assigns smooth continuous scores to each pair of the observations rather than the zero or one scores of the sign statistic. The asymptotic equivalence of the sign statistic and the proposed estimator is shown and a simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed estimator. Results indicate that …

A Bayesian hierarchical model for estimating the population mean and its variance is presented.. Telephone: (989) 774-
Jmasm11: Comparing Two Small Binomial Proportions, James F. Reed Iii
Jmasm11: Comparing Two Small Binomial Proportions, James F. Reed Iii
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A large volume of research has focused on comparing the difference between two small binomial proportions. Statisticians recognize that Fisher’s Exact test and Yates chi-square test are excessively conservative. Likewise, many statisticians feel that Pearson’s Chi-square or the likelihood statistic may be inappropriate for small samples. Viable alternatives exist.
A Test-Retest Transition Matrix: A Modification Of Mcnemar’S Test, J. Wanzer Drane, W. Gregory Thatcher
A Test-Retest Transition Matrix: A Modification Of Mcnemar’S Test, J. Wanzer Drane, W. Gregory Thatcher
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
McNemar introduced what is known today as a test for symmetry in a two by two contingency tables. The logic of the test is based on a sample of matched pairs with a dichotomous response. In our example, the sample consists of the scores before and after an education program and the responses before and after the program. Each pair of scores is from only one person. The pretest divides the group of responders according to their answers to a dichotomous question. The posttest divides the two groups into two groups of like labels. The result is a two by …

Two studies were used as examples that examined issues of dimensionality, accuracy, and parsimony in educational research via the use of predictive discriminant analysis and factor analysis. Using a two-group problem, study 1 looked at how accurately group membership could be predicted from subjects’ test scores. Study 2 looked at the dimensionality structure of an instrument and if it developed constructs that would measure theorized domains.
Stratified Extreme Ranked Set Sample With Application To Ratio Estimators, Hani M. Samawai, Laith J. Saeid
Stratified Extreme Ranked Set Sample With Application To Ratio Estimators, Hani M. Samawai, Laith J. Saeid
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Stratified extreme ranked set sample (SERSS) is introduced. The performance of the combined and separate ratio estimates using SERSS is investigated. Theoretical and simulation study are presented. Results indicate that using SERSS for estimating the ratios is more efficient than using stratified simple random sample (SSRS) and simple random sample (SRS). In some cases it is more efficient than ranked set sample (RSS) and stratified ranked set sample (SRSS), when the underlying distribution is symmetric. An application to real data on the bilirubin level in jaundice babies is introduced to illustrate the method.
Depth Based Permutation Test For General Differences In Two Multivariate Populations, Yonghong Gao
Depth Based Permutation Test For General Differences In Two Multivariate Populations, Yonghong Gao
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
For two p-dimensional data sets, interest exists in testing if they come from the common population distribution. Proposed is a practical, effective and easy to implement procedure for the testing problem. The proposed procedure is a permutation test based on the concept of the depth of one observation relative to some population distribution. The proposed test is demonstrated to be consistent. A small Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to evaluate the power of the proposed test. The proposed test is applied to some numerical examples.
Accurate Binary Decisions For Assessing Coronary Artery Disease, Mehmet Ali Cengiz
Accurate Binary Decisions For Assessing Coronary Artery Disease, Mehmet Ali Cengiz
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Generalized linear models offer convenient and highly applicable tools for modeling and predicting the behavior of random variables in terms of observable factors and covariates. This paper investigates applications of a special case of generalized linear model to improve the accuracy of predictions and decisions adopting Bayesian methods, in the specific context of assessing coronary artery disease. The basic model is developed for this application using binary response. The results clearly demonstrate the potential advantages offered by this approach.

Meta-Analysis Of Results And Individual Patient Data In Epidemiologal Studies, Aurelio Tobías, Marc Saez, Manolis Kogevinas
Meta-Analysis Of Results And Individual Patient Data In Epidemiologal Studies, Aurelio Tobías, Marc Saez, Manolis Kogevinas
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Epidemiological information can be aggregated by combining results through a meta-analysis technique, or by pooling and analyzing primary data. Common approaches to analyzing pooled studies through an example on the effect of occupational exposure to wood dust on sinonasal cancer are described. Results were combined applying a meta-analysis technique. Alternatively, primary data from all studies were pooled and re-analyzed using mixed effect models. The combination of individual information rather than results is desirable to facilitate interpretations of epidemiological findings, leading also to more precise estimations and more powerful statistical tests for study heterogeneity.
Multivariate Location: Robust Estimators And Inference, Rand R. Wilcox, H. J. Keselman
Multivariate Location: Robust Estimators And Inference, Rand R. Wilcox, H. J. Keselman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The sample mean can have poor efficiency relative to various alternative estimators under arbitrarily small departures from normality. In the multivariate case, (affine equivariant) estimators have been proposed for dealing with this problem, but a comparison of various estimators by Massé and Plante (2003) indicated that the small-sample efficiency of some recently derived methods is rather poor. This article reports that a skipped mean, where outliers are removed via a projection-type outlier detection method, is found to be more satisfactory. The more obvious method for computing a confidence region based on the skipped estimator (using a slight modification of the …
A Power Comparison Of Robust Test Statistics Based On Adaptive Estimators, H. J. Keselman, Rand R. Wilcox, James Algina, Abdul R. Othman
A Power Comparison Of Robust Test Statistics Based On Adaptive Estimators, H. J. Keselman, Rand R. Wilcox, James Algina, Abdul R. Othman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Seven test statistics known to be robust to the combined effects of nonnormality and variance heterogeneity were compared for their sensitivity to detect treatment effects in a one-way completely randomized design containing four groups. The six Welch-James-type heteroscedastic tests adopted either symmetric or asymmetric trimmed means, were transformed for skewness, and used a bootstrap method to assess statistical significance. The remaining test, due to Wilcox and Keselman (2003), used a modification of the well-known one-step M-estimator of central tendency rather than trimmed means. The Welch-James-type test is recommended because for nonnormal data likely to be encountered in applied research settings …
A Rank-Based Estimation Procedure For Linear Models With Clustered Data, Suzanne R. Dubnicka
A Rank-Based Estimation Procedure For Linear Models With Clustered Data, Suzanne R. Dubnicka
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A rank method is presented for estimating regression parameters in the linear model when observations are correlated. This correlation is accounted for by including a random effect term in the linear model. A method is proposed that makes few assumptions about the random effect and error distribution. The main goal of this article is to determine the distributions for which this method performs well relative to existing methods.

Estimation Of Multiple Linear Functional Relationships, Amjad D. Al-Nasser
Estimation Of Multiple Linear Functional Relationships, Amjad D. Al-Nasser
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This article deals with multiple linear functional relationships models. Two robust estimations procedure are proposed to estimate the model, based on Generalized Maximum Entropy and Partial Least Square. They are distribution free and do not rely (so much) on classical assumptions. The experiments showed that the GME approach outperforms the PLS in terms of mean squares of errors (MSE). Empirical examples are studied.
Teaching Random Assignment: Do You Believe It Works?, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
Teaching Random Assignment: Do You Believe It Works?, Shlomo S. Sawilowsky
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Textbook authors admonish students to check on the comparability of two randomly assigned groups by conducting statistical tests on pretest means to determine if randomization worked. A Monte Carlo study was conducted on a sample of n = 2 per group, where each participant’s personality profile was represented by 7,500 randomly selected and assigned scores. Independent samples t tests were conducted and the results demonstrated that random assignment was successful in equating the two groups on 7,467 variables. The students’ focus is redirected from the ability of random assignment to create comparable groups to the testing of the claims of …

A Comparison Of Bayesian And Frequentist Statistics As Applied In A Simple Repeated Measures Example, Jan Perkins, Daniel Wang
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Clinicians see Bayesian and frequentist analysis in published research papers, and need a basic understanding of both. A repeated measures data set was analyzed using both approaches. Assumptions underlying each method and conclusions reached were contrasted. The Bayesian approach is a viable alternative to frequentist statistical analysis for many clinical projects.

A Comparison Of Methods For Longitudinal Analysis With Missing Data, James Algina, H. J. Keselman
A Comparison Of Methods For Longitudinal Analysis With Missing Data, James Algina, H. J. Keselman
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In a longitudinal two-group randomized trials design, also referred to as randomized parallel-groups design or split-plot repeated measures design, the important hypothesis of interest is whether there are differential rates of change over time, that is, whether there is a group by time interaction. Several analytic methods have been presented in the literature for testing this important hypothesis when data are incomplete. We studied these methods for the case in which the missing data pattern is non-monotone. In agreement with earlier work on monotone missing data patterns, our results on bias, sampling variability, Type I error and power support the …
On Polynomial Transformations For Simulating Multivariate Non-Normal Distributions, Todd C. Headrick
On Polynomial Transformations For Simulating Multivariate Non-Normal Distributions, Todd C. Headrick
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Procedures are introduced and discussed for increasing the computational and statistical efficiency of polynomial transformations used in Monte Carlo or simulation studies. Comparisons are also made between polynomials of order three and five in terms of (a) computational and statistical efficiency, (b) the skew and kurtosis boundary, and (c) boundaries for Pearson correlations. It is also shown how ranked data can be simulated for specified Spearman correlations and sample sizes. Potential consequences of nonmonotonic transformations on rank correlations are also discussed.
