متن کاملAn Odds Ratio Based Inference Engine
Expert systems applications that involve uncertain inference can be represented by a multidimensional contingency table. These tables offer a general approach to inferring with uncertain evidence, because they can embody any form of association between any number of pieces of evidence and conclusions. (Simpler models may be required, however, if the number of pieces of evidence bearing on a con...

متن کاملBayesian inference about odds ratio structure in ordinal contingency tables
When the goal of a study is to compare two groups on an ordinal categorical scale, a large number of inferential methods are available. Most methods are designed to detect a location effect, such as by focusing a single-degree-of-freedom test on an effect parameter. Often, rather than merely summarizing by a P -value to describe the evidence against a null hypothesis, it is of interest to consi...
