Detecting atypical data in air pollution studies by using shorth intervals for regression

Cécile Durot, Karelle Thiébot (2005)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

To validate pollution data, subject-matter experts in Airpl (an organization that maintains a network of air pollution monitoring stations in western France) daily perform visual examinations of the data and check their consistency. In this paper, we describe these visual examinations and propose a formalization for this problem. The examinations consist in comparisons of so-called shorth intervals so we build a statistical test that compares such intervals in a nonparametric regression...

Study of Bootstrap Estimates in Cox Regression Model with Delayed Entry

Silvie Bělašková, Eva Fišerová, Sylvia Krupičková (2013)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Similarity:

In most clinical studies, patients are observed for extended time periods to evaluate influences in treatment such as drug treatment, approaches to surgery, etc. The primary event in these studies is death, relapse, adverse drug reaction, or development of a new disease. The follow-up time may range from few weeks to many years. Although these studies are long term, the number of observed events is small. Longitudinal studies have increased the importance of statistical methods for time-to...

Comparison of clinical data based on limits of agreement

Luís M. Grilo, Helena L. Grilo (2012)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Two different medical measurement methods, which usually do not produce exactly the same results, are used to analyse the serum levels of folic acid in a blood sample. We assess the (dis)agreement of the available data in order to replace the old method (the reference method, which involves a lot of human intervention) with the new one (which uses mostly machines), without causing problems in clinical interpretation. The 95% limits of agreement are estimated, before and after a logarithmic...

Application of HLM to data with multilevel structure

Vítor Valente, Teresa A. Oliveira (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Many data sets analyzed in human and social sciences have a multilevel or hierarchical structure. By hierarchy we mean that units of a certain level (also referred micro units) are grouped into, or nested within, higher level (or macro) units. In these cases, the units within a cluster tend to be more different than units from other clusters, i.e., they are correlated. Thus, unlike in the classical setting where there exists a single source of variation between observational units,...

Some inferential questions in regard to analysing two-way Layouts and associated linear model theory and practice

Brenton R. Clarke, Antony G. Monaco (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

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...

Product expenditure patterns in the ECPF survey: an analysis using multiple group latent-variables models.

Eva Ventura, Albert Satorra (2001)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Using data form the Spanish household budget survey, we investigate some aspects of household heterogeneity on several product expenditures. We adopt a latent-variable model approach to evaluate the impact of income on expenditures, controlling for the number of members in the family. Two latent factors underlying repeated measures of monetary and non-monetary income are used as explanatory variables in the expenditure regression equations, thus avoiding possible bias associated to the...
