Estimating Explanatory Power In A Simple Regression Model Via Smoothers, Rand R. Wilcox
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Consider the regression model Y = γ(X) + ε , where γ(X) is some conditional measure of location associated with Y , given X. Let Υ̂ be some estimate of Y, given X, and let τ2 (Y) be some measure of variation. Explanatory power is η2 = τ2 (Υ̂) /τ2(Y) . When γ(X) = β0 + β1X and τ2(Y) is the variance of Y , η2 = ρ2 , …
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
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. …
Two Dimension Marginal Distributions Of Crossing Time And Renewal Numbers Related To Two-Stage Erlang Processes, Mir Ghulam Hyder Talpur, Iffat Zamir, M. Masoom Ali
Two Dimension Marginal Distributions Of Crossing Time And Renewal Numbers Related To Two-Stage Erlang Processes, Mir Ghulam Hyder Talpur, Iffat Zamir, M. Masoom Ali
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The two dimensional marginal transform, probability density and cumulative probability distribution functions for the random variables TξN (time taken by servers during vacations), ξN (number of vacations taken by servers) and Nη (number of customers or units arriving in the system) are derived by taking combinations of these random variables. One random variable is controlled at one time to determine the effect of the other two random variables simultaneously.
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals And Coverage Probabilities Of Regression Parameter Estimates Using Trimmed Elemental Estimation, Matthew Hall, Matthew S. Mayo
Bootstrap Confidence Intervals And Coverage Probabilities Of Regression Parameter Estimates Using Trimmed Elemental Estimation, Matthew Hall, Matthew S. Mayo
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Mayo and Gray introduced the leverage residual-weighted elemental (LRWE) classification of regression estimators and a new method of estimation called trimmed elemental estimation (TEE), showing the efficiency and robustness of TEE point estimates. 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 …

Size-Biased Generalized Negative Binomial Distribution, Khurshid Ahmad Mir
Size-Biased Generalized Negative Binomial Distribution, Khurshid Ahmad Mir
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A size biased generalized negative binomial distribution (SBGNBD) is defined and a recurrence relationship for the moments of SBGNBD is established. The Bayes’ estimator for a parametric function of one parameter when two other parameters of a known size-biased generalized negative binomial distribution is derived. Prior information on one parameter is given by a beta distribution and the parameters in the prior distribution are assigned by computer using Monte Carlo and R-software.
Non-Parametric Quantile Selection For Extreme Distributions, Wan Zawiah Wan Zin, Abdul Aziz Jemain
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.
Analyzing Incomplete Categorical Data: Revisiting Maximum Likelihood Estimation (Mle) Procedure, Hoo Ling Ping, M. Ataharul Islam
Analyzing Incomplete Categorical Data: Revisiting Maximum Likelihood Estimation (Mle) Procedure, Hoo Ling Ping, M. Ataharul Islam
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Incomplete data poses formidable difficulties in the application of statistical techniques and requires special procedures to handle. The most common ways to solve this problem are by ignoring, truncating, censoring or collapsing those data, but these may lead to inappropriate conclusions because those data might contain important information. Most of the research for estimating cell probabilities involving incomplete categorical data is based on the EM algorithm. A likelihood approach is employed for estimating cell probabilities for missing values and makes comparisons between maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and the EM algorithm. The MLE can provide almost the same estimates as that …
Adaptive Estimation Of Heteroscedastic Linear Regression Model Using Probability Weighted Moments, Faqir Muhammad, Muhammad Aslam, G.R. Pasha
Adaptive Estimation Of Heteroscedastic Linear Regression Model Using Probability Weighted Moments, Faqir Muhammad, Muhammad Aslam, G.R. Pasha
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
An adaptive estimator is presented by using probability weighted moments as weights rather than conventional estimates of variances for unknown heteroscedastic errors while estimating a heteroscedastic linear regression model. Empirical studies of the data generated by simulations for normal, uniform, and logistically distributed error terms support our proposed estimator to be quite efficient, especially for small samples.

Type I Error Rates Of The Kenward-Roger F-Test For A Split-Plot Design With Missing Values And Non-Normal Data, Miguel A. Padilla, Youngkyoung Min, Guili Zhang
Type I Error Rates Of The Kenward-Roger F-Test For A Split-Plot Design With Missing Values And Non-Normal Data, Miguel A. Padilla, Youngkyoung Min, Guili Zhang
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The Type I error of the Kenward-Roger (KR) F-test was assessed through a simulation study for a between- by within-subjects split-plot design with non-normal ignorable missing data. The KR-test for the between- and within-subjects main effect was robust under all simulation variables investigated and when the data were missing completely at random (MCAR). This continued to hold for the between-subjects main effect when data were missing at random (MAR). For the interaction, the KR F-test performed fairly well at controlling Type I under MCAR and the simulation variables investigated. However, under MAR, the KR F-test for the …
Constructing Confidence Intervals For Spearman’S Rank Correlation With Ordinal Data: A Simulation Study Comparing Analytic And Bootstrap Methods, John Ruscio
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Research shows good probability coverage using analytic confidence intervals (CIs) for Spearman’s rho with continuous data, but poorer coverage with ordinal data. A simulation study examining the latter case replicated prior results and revealed that coverage of bootstrap CIs was usually as good or better than coverage of analytic CIs.
An Optimum Allocation With A Family Of Estimators Using Auxiliary Information In Sample Survey, Gajendra K. Vishwakarma, Housila P. Singh
An Optimum Allocation With A Family Of Estimators Using Auxiliary Information In Sample Survey, Gajendra K. Vishwakarma, Housila P. Singh
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The problem of obtaining optimum allocation using auxiliary information in stratified random sampling. An optimum allocation with a family of estimators is obtained and its efficiency is compared with that of Neyman allocation based on Srivastava (1971) class of estimators and the optimum allocation suggested by Zaidi et al., (1989). It is shown that the proposed allocation is better in the sense having smaller variance compared to other optimum allocation.
On Some Properties Of Quasi-Negative-Binomial Distribution And Its Applications, Anwar Hassan, Sheikh Bilal
On Some Properties Of Quasi-Negative-Binomial Distribution And Its Applications, Anwar Hassan, Sheikh Bilal
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The quasi-negative-binomial distribution was applied to queuing theory for determining the distribution of total number of customers served before the queue vanishes under certain assumptions. Some structural properties (probability generating function, convolution, mode and recurrence relation) for the moments of quasi-negative-binomial distribution are discussed. The distribution’s characterization and its relation with other distributions were investigated. A computer program was developed using R to obtain ML estimates and the distribution was fitted to some observed sets of data to test its goodness of fit.

Generalized Multilevel Functional Regression, Ciprian M. Crainiceanu, Ana-Maria Staicu, Chongzhi Di
Generalized Multilevel Functional Regression, Ciprian M. Crainiceanu, Ana-Maria Staicu, Chongzhi Di
Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers
We introduce Generalized Multilevel Functional Linear Models (GMFLM), a novel statistical framework motivated by and applied to the Sleep Heart Health Study (SHHS), the largest community cohort study of sleep. The primary goal of SHHS is to study the association between sleep disrupted breathing (SDB) and adverse health effects. An exposure of primary interest is the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG), which was observed for thousands of individuals at two visits, roughly 5 years apart. This unique study design led to the development of models where the outcome, e.g. hypertension, is in an exponential family and the exposure, e.g. sleep EEG, is …

Practical Large-Scale Spatio-Temporal Modeling Of Particulate Matter Concentrations, Christopher J. Paciorek, Jeff D. Yanosky, Robin C. Puett, Francine Laden, Helen H. Suh
Harvard University Biostatistics Working Paper Series
The last two decades have seen intense scientific and regulatory interest in the health effects of particulate matter (PM). Influential epidemiological studies that characterize chronic exposure of individuals rely on monitoring data that are sparse in space and time, so they often assign the same exposure to participants in large geographic areas and across time. We estimate monthly PM during 1988-2002 in a large spatial domain for use in studying health effects in the Nurses' Health Study. We develop a conceptually simple spatio-temporal model that uses a rich set of covariates. The model is used to estimate concentrations of PM10 …
Confidence Intervals For Negative Binomial Random Variables Of High Dispersion, David Shilane, Alan E. Hubbard, S N. Evans
Confidence Intervals For Negative Binomial Random Variables Of High Dispersion, David Shilane, Alan E. Hubbard, S N. Evans
U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series
This paper considers the problem of constructing confidence intervals for the mean of a Negative Binomial random variable based upon sampled data. When the sample size is large, we traditionally rely upon a Normal distribution approximation to construct these intervals. However, we demonstrate that the sample mean of highly dispersed Negative Binomials exhibits a slow convergence to the Normal in distribution as a function of the sample size. As a result, standard techniques (such as the Normal approximation and bootstrap) that construct confidence intervals for the mean will typically be too narrow and significantly undercover in the case of high …
