Inflation of Type I error rate in multiple re - gression when independent variables are measured with error
When independent variables are measured with error, ordinary least squares regression can yield parameter estimates that are biased and inconsistent. This paper documents an inflation of Type I error rate that can also occur. In addition to analytic results, a large-scale Monte Carlo study shows unacceptably high Type I error rates under circumstances that could easily be encountered in practic...
متن کاملRegression calibration when foods (measured with error) are the variables of interest: markedly non-Gaussian data with many zeroes.
Regression calibration has been described as a means of correcting effects of measurement error for normally distributed dietary variables. When foods are the items of interest, true distributions of intake are often positively skewed, may contain many zeroes, and are usually not described by well-known statistical distributions. The authors considered the validity of regression calibration ass...
متن کاملQUANTITATIVE METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY Analysis of Multiplicative Combination Rules When the Causal Variables are Measured With Error
A variety of theories in psychology postulate that the causal variables combine according to a multiplicative rule to determine the value of the dependent variable. To test multiplicative combination rules empirically, applied researchers frequently use an observational method that involves the following procedure: (a) assessment techniques are used to measure the value of each theoretical cons...
متن کاملUsing Bayesian inference for parameter estimation when the system response and experimental conditions are measured with error and some variables are considered as nuisance variables
Parameter estimation is generally based upon the maximum likelihood approach and often involves regularization. Typically it is desired that the results be unbiased and of minimum variance. However, it is often better to accept biased estimates that have minimum mean square error. Bayesian inference is an attractive approach that achieves this goal and incorporates regularization automatically....
متن کاملStatistical Inference When Classroom Quality is Measured With Error
A dramatic shift in research priorities has recently produced a large number of ambitious randomized trials in K-12 education. In most cases, the aim is to improve student academic learning by improving classroom instruction. Embedded in these studies are theories about how the quality of classroom must improve if these interventions are to succeed. The problem of measuring classroom quality th...
