Assessing the fit of parametric cure models.
Survival data can contain an unknown fraction of subjects who are "cured" in the sense of not being at risk of failure. We describe such data with cure-mixture models, which separately model cure status and the hazard of failure among non-cured subjects. No diagnostic currently exists for evaluating the fit of such models; the popular Schoenfeld residual (Schoenfeld, 1982. Partial residuals for...
متن کاملAssessing the goodness-of-fit of hidden Markov models.
In this article, we propose a graphical technique for assessing the goodness-of-fit of a stationary hidden Markov model (HMM). We show that plots of the estimated distribution against the empirical distribution detect lack of fit with high probability for large sample sizes. By considering plots of the univariate and multidimensional distributions, we are able to examine the fit of both the ass...
متن کاملParametric Piecewise Linear Models with Good Fit to the Data
This paper addresses the problem of piecewise linear approximation of point sets without any constraints on the order of data points or the number of model components (line segments). The point sets can be obtained as edge pixels in digital images or from a laser range scanner mounted on a moving robot. We point out two problems with the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) that present serious dr...
متن کاملAdapting the ITK Registration Framework to Fit Parametric Image Models.
The image registration framework in the Insight Tookit offers a powerful body of code for finding the optimal spatial transform that registers one image with another. However, ITK currently lacks a way to fit parametric models of image pixel values to an input image. Such a capability is necessary in certain applications such as sub-resolution localization of molecules in fluorescence microscop...
متن کاملPredictive approaches to assessing the fit of evolutionary models.
Evolutionary inference is now an overwhelmingly model-based endeavor, allowing biological hypotheses to be tested in formal statistical frameworks. Stochastic models are employed to describe a broad range of evolutionary processes (e.g., coalescence within populations, long-term trends in diversification rates, and the evolution of both genomes and phenotypic traits). The shift to statistical m...
