Generalized F tests were introduced by Michalski and Zmyślony (1996) for variance components and later (1999) for linear functions of parameters in mixed linear models. We now use generalized polar coordinates to obtain, for the second case, tests that are more powerful for selected families of alternatives.
The influence of emission levels on the concentrations of four important air pollutants (ammonia, ozone, ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate) over three European cities (Milan, Manchester, and Edinburgh) with different geographical locations is considered. Sensitivity analysis of the output of the Unified Danish Eulerian Model according to emission levels is provided. The Sobol’ variance-based approach for global sensitivity analysis has been applied to compute the corresponding sensitivity measures....
In analysing a well known data set from the literature which can be thought of as a two-way layout it transpires that a robust adaptive regression approach for identifying outliers fails to be sensitive enough to detect the possible interchange of two observations. On the other hand if one takes the classical approach of diagnostic checking one may also stop too early and be satisfied with a model that falls short of a more detailed analysis that takes account of heteroscedasticity in the data....
Mixed models will be considered using the Commutative Jordan Algebra of Symmetric matrices approach. Prime basis factorial models will now be considered in the framework provided by Commutative Jordan Algebra of Symmetric matrices. This will enable to obtain fractional replicates when the number of levels is neither a prime or a power of a prime. We present an application to the effect of lidocaine, at an enzymatic level, on the heart muscle of beagle dogs
Let be a biased estimate of the parameter based on all observations , , and let () be the same estimate of the parameter obtained after deletion of the -th observation. If the expectation of the estimators and are expressed as where is a known sequence of real numbers and is a function of , then this system of equations can be regarded as a linear model. The least squares method gives the generalized jackknife estimator. Using this method, it is possible to obtain the unbiased...
We present a two-dimensional linear regression model where both variables are subject to error. We discuss a model where one variable of each pair of observables is repeated. We suggest two methods to construct consistent estimators: the maximum likelihood method and the method which applies variance components theory. We study asymptotic properties of these estimators. We prove that the asymptotic variances of the estimators of regression slopes for both methods are comparable.
The aim of the paper is to show some possible statistical solution of the estimation of the dispersion of the GPS receiver. The presented method (based on theory of linear model with additional constraints of type I) can serve for an improvement of the accuracy of estimators of coordinates acquired from the GPS receiver.
Unknown parameters of the covariance matrix (variance components) of the observation vector in regression models are an unpleasant obstacle in a construction of the best estimator of the unknown parameters of the mean value of the observation vector. Estimators of variance componets must be utilized and then it is difficult to obtain the distribution of the estimators of the mean value parameters. The situation is more complicated in the case of nonlinearity of the regression model. The aim of the...
