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...

Quantile plots in the analysis of heteroscedastic models.

Montserrat Pepió Viñals, Carlos Polo Miranda (1992)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Recent developments in quality engineering methods have led to considerable interest in the analysis of variance, buiding a dispersion model, identifying important effects from replicated experiments and checking for significance by means of a half-normal plot. A methodology based on a chi-squared quantile plot is presented here for checking first the presence of heteroscedasticity, outliers and other data peculiarities, and after the estimation stage a new stepwise procedure tests for...

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...

Distance-based regression in prediction of solar flare activity.

Anna Bartkowiak, Maria Jakimiec (1994)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Short-term prediction of solar flare activity using multiple regression methods was considered. The variables describing active regions the given day were used to predict the flare activity on the next day. Two groups of observational data covering the years 1988 and 1989 were dealt with. Some variants of the distance-based regression as proposed by Cuadras and Arenas (1990) appeared to be superior to the ordinary least squares method by describing more accurately the data sets under...
