Comparing Curves Using Additive Models

Advances in technology have increased dramatically the amount of data measured in industrial processes. Thousands of measurements are available nowadays in operations where previously only a single measurement, at a given point in time or space, was taken. These measurements allow the reconstruction of the whole profile or "signature" of the operation over time or space. Examples are the tonnag...

Optimal designs for comparing curves.

We consider the optimal design problem for a comparison of two regression curves, which is used to establish the similarity between the dose response relationships of two groups. An optimal pair of designs minimizes the width of the confidence band for the difference between the two regression functions. Optimal design theory (equivalence theorems, efficiency bounds) is developed for this non s...

Comparing ROC curves derived from regression models.

In constructing predictive models, investigators frequently assess the incremental value of a predictive marker by comparing the ROC curve generated from the predictive model including the new marker with the ROC curve from the model excluding the new marker. Many commentators have noticed empirically that a test of the two ROC areas often produces a non-significant result when a corresponding ...

Cumulative light curves of gamma - ray bursts and relaxation systems

The cumulative light curves of a large sample of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) were obtained by summing the BATSE counts. The smoothed profiles are much simpler than the complex and erratic running light curves that are normally used. For most GRBs the slope of the cumulative light curve (S) is approximately constant over a large fraction of the burst. The bursts are modelled as relaxation systems th...
