Correcting sample selection in FARS data to estimate seatbelt use.
INTRODUCTION In this paper, we show that FARS data can be a comparable alternative to observational NOPUS data in estimating seat belt use in the United States once we correct for sample selection bias. RESULTS Based on assumptions of independence for seatbelt choice, we establish a lower and upper bound for seatbelt usage rates, and find that once we correct for sample selection bias, the se...
متن کاملCorrecting Sample Selection Bias by Unlabeled Data
We consider the scenario where training and test data are drawn from different distributions, commonly referred to as sample selection bias. Most algorithms for this setting try to first recover sampling distributions and then make appropriate corrections based on the distribution estimate. We present a nonparametric method which directly produces resampling weights without distribution estimat...
متن کاملDetecting and Statistically Correcting Sample Selection Bias
Researchers seldom realize 100% participation for any research study. If participants and non-participants are systematically different, substantive results may be biased in unknown ways, and external or internal validity may be compromised. Typically social work reGary Cuddeback, MSW, MPH, is Research Associate, Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, University of North Carolina a...
متن کاملOptimum Block Size in Separate Block Bootstrap to Estimate the Variance of Sample Mean for Lattice Data
The statistical analysis of spatial data is usually done under Gaussian assumption for the underlying random field model. When this assumption is not satisfied, block bootstrap methods can be used to analyze spatial data. One of the crucial problems in this setting is specifying the block sizes. In this paper, we present asymptotic optimal block size for separate block bootstrap to estimate the...
متن کاملInjury severity in relation to seatbelt use.
5 January 2015, Vol. 105, No. 1 Injury severity in relation to seatbelt use To the Editor: I read the article by Van Hoving et al.[1] with great interest. Two interesting aspects of the study are that it included patients in the prehospital setting, and involved both the Division of Emergency Medicine and the Department of Civil Engineering at their institution (Stellenbosch University, Western...
