Combining Statistical Evidence
The combination of evidence from independent studies has a curious history. The origins reach back at least to the beginning of the twentieth century. Since the mid-seventies the term meta-analysis (G. Glass, 1976 presidential address to the American Educational Research Association) has become popular in several fields, among them medical statistics and the behavioral sciences. The most widely...
متن کاملCombining Statistical Models
This paper develops a general framework to support the combination of information from independent but related experiments, by introducing a formal way of combining statistical models represented by families of distributions. A typical example is the combination of multivariate Gaussian families respecting conditional independence constraints, i.e. Gaussian graphical models. Combining informati...
متن کاملPotential Statistical Evidence in Experiments and Renyi Information
Recently Habibi et al. (2006) defined a pre-experimental criterion for the potential strength of evidence provided by an experiment, based on Kullback-Leibler distance. In this paper, we investigate the potential statistical evidence in an experiment in terms of Renyi distance and compare the potential statistical evidence in lower (upper) record values with that in the same number of ii...
متن کاملCombining Statistical and Expert Evidence within the D-S Framework: Application to Hydrological Return Level Estimation
Estimation of extreme sea levels and waves for high return periods is of prime importance in hydrological design and flood risk assessment. The common practice consists of inferring design levels from the available observations and assuming the distribution of extreme values to be stationary. However, in the recent decades, more concern has been given to the integration of the effect of climate...
متن کاملCombining lexical and statistical translation evidence for cross-language information retrieval
This paper explores how best to use lexical and statistical translation evidence together for CrossLanguage Information Retrieval (CLIR). Lexical translation evidence is assembled from Wikipedia and from a large machine readable dictionary, statistical translation evidence is drawn from parallel corpora, and evidence from co-occurrence in the document language provides a basis for limiting the ...
