ANOVA with Summary Statistics: A STATA Macro

A Macro for Calculating Summary Statistics on Left Censored Environmental Data using the Kaplan-Meier Method

Calculating summary statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, and an upper confidence limit on the mean is straightforward when the data values are known. However, environmental data often are reported from the analytical laboratory as left censored, meaning the actual concentration for a given contaminant was not detected above the method detection limit. Therefore, the true concentrati...

Summary statistics in vision

A Statistics Program at NCAR, Project Summary

A grand scientific challenge for this century is to understand the complex interrelationships among the atmosphere, ocean, land processes, biosphere and human activities that define the Earth System. Coupled with this effort is the need to predict changes to our environment and to translate such changes into more immediate economic and societal impacts. There is a corresponding challenge for st...

Summary of MACRO results on exotic physics

MACRO was a multi-purpose experiment that took data from 1989 to 2000, at the underground Laboratory of Gran Sasso (Italy). MACRO gave important results/limits concerning: (i) the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos, also in the non-conventional scenario of violations of Lorentz invariance, (ii) the searches for exotic particles (supermassive GUT magnetic monopoles, nuclearites, WIMPs), (iii) ...

Hoeffding-anova Decompositions for Symmetric Statistics of Exchangeable Observations

Consider a (possibly infinite) exchangeable sequence X= {Xn : 1≤ n < N}, where N ∈ N ∪ {∞}, with values in a Borel space (A,A), and note Xn = (X1, . . . ,Xn). We say that X is Hoeffding decomposable if, for each n, every square integrable, centered and symmetric statistic based on Xn can be written as an orthogonal sum of n U statistics with degenerated and symmetric kernels of increasing order...
