Probabilistic model of school-achievement test with triple choice response
The problem considered is under which conditions in weakly nonlinear regression model with constraints I a weakly nonlinear hypothesis can be tested by linear methods. The aim of the paper is to find a region around the approximate value of the regression parameter with the following property. If we are certain that the actual value of the regression parameter is in this region, then the linear method of testing can be used without any significant deterioration of the inference.
If a nonlinear regression model is linearized in a non-sufficient small neighbourhood of the actual parameter, then all statistical inferences may be deteriorated. Some criteria how to recognize this are already developed. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the behaviour of the program for utilization of these criteria.
Linear error propagation law (LEPL) has been using frequently also for nonlinear functions. It can be adequate for an actual situation however it need not be so. It is useful to use some rule in order to recognize whether LEPL is admissible. The aim of the paper is to find such rule.
If in the model of measurement except useful parameters, which are to be determined, other auxiliary parameters occur as well, which were estimated from another experiment, then the type A and B uncertainties of measurement results must be taken into account. The type A uncertainty is caused by the new experiment and the type B uncertainty characterizes an accuracy of the parameters which must be used in estimation of useful parameters. The problem is to estimate of the type A uncertainty in the...
A large number of parameters in regression models can be serious obstacle for processing and interpretation of experimental data. One way how to overcome it is an elimination of some parameters. In some cases it need not deteriorate statistical properties of estimators of useful parameters and can help to interpret them. The problem is to find conditions which enable us to decide whether such favourable situation occurs.
