MATTERS OF THE RECORD Accounting for unequal variances in evolutionary trend mechanisms
Evolutionary trends seemingly abound throughout the history of life. Perhaps the best-known example is Cope's rule, the tendency for lineages to increase in size over time. Other examples include hypothesized trends toward increasing complexity and fitness. What kinds of mechanisms cause such large-scale trends—trends occurring in higher taxa over geological time spans—and how can we effectivel...
متن کاملUnequal group variances in microarray data analyses
MOTIVATION In searching for differentially expressed (DE) genes in microarray data, we often observe a fraction of the genes to have unequal variability between groups. This is not an issue in large samples, where a valid test exists that uses individual variances separately. The problem arises in the small-sample setting, where the approximately valid Welch test lacks sensitivity, while the mo...
متن کاملTwo-way Anova with Unequal Cell Frequencies and Unequal Variances
In this article we consider the Two-Way ANOVA model with unequal cell frequencies without the assumption of equal error variances. By taking the generalized approach to finding p-values, classical F-tests for no interaction effects and equal main effects are extended under heteroscedasticity. The generalized Ftests developed in this article can be utilized in significance testing or in fixed le...
متن کاملA Multiple Comparison Procedure for Populations with Unequal Variances
This article investigates an exact method that extends Dunnett’s method on the multiple comparisons with a control (MCC) to the case of unequal error variances when the ratios of population variances of k new treatments to that of the control group are known from previous experience. The advantages of the proposed method is illustrated through an example. The simulation results show that the ty...
متن کاملDouble shrinkage empirical Bayesian estimation for unknown and unequal variances
In this paper, we construct a point estimator when assuming unequal and unknown variances by using the empirical Bayes approach in the classical normal mean problem. The proposed estimator shrinks both means and variances, and is thus called the double shrinkage estimator. Extensive numerical studies indicate that the double shrinkage estimator has lower Bayes risk than the estimator which shri...
