Behaviour of higher-order approximations of the tests in the single parameter Cox proportional hazards model

Aneta Andrášiková, Eva Fišerová (2020)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Survival analysis is applied in a wide range of sectors (medicine, economy, etc.), and its main idea is based on evaluating the time until the occurrence of an event of interest. The effect of some particular covariates on survival time is usually described by the Cox proportional hazards model and the statistical significance of the impact of covariates is verified by the likelihood ratio test, the Wald test, or the score test. In addition to standard tests, appropriate higher-order...

Nonparametric statistical analysis for multiple comparison of machine learning regression algorithms

Bogdan Trawiński, Magdalena Smętek, Zbigniew Telec, Tadeusz Lasota (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In the paper we present some guidelines for the application of nonparametric statistical tests and post-hoc procedures devised to perform multiple comparisons of machine learning algorithms. We emphasize that it is necessary to distinguish between pairwise and multiple comparison tests. We show that the pairwise Wilcoxon test, when employed to multiple comparisons, will lead to overoptimistic conclusions. We carry out intensive normality examination employing ten different tests showing...

Normalization of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk tests of normality

Zofia Hanusz, Joanna Tarasińska (2015)

Biometrical Letters

Similarity:

Two very well-known tests for normality, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and the Shapiro- Wilk tests, are considered. Both of them may be normalized using Johnson’s (1949) SB distribution. In this paper, functions for normalizing constants, dependent on the sample size, are given. These functions eliminate the need to use non-standard statistical tables with normalizing constants, and make it easy to obtain p-values for testing normality.
