Detecting Model Dependence in Statistical Inference: A Response
When counterfactual questions are posed too far from the data, statistical inference can become highly dependent on seemingly trivial but indefensible modeling assumptions. Choosing one or only a few specifications to publish in the presence of model dependence makes conclusions largely nonempirical and subject to criticism from others who make different choices and find contradictory results. ...
متن کاملProcrustean statistical inference of deformations
A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...
متن کاملStatistical Inference After Model Selection∗
Conventional statistical inference requires that a model of how the data were generated be known before the data are analyzed. Yet in criminology, and in the social sciences more broadly, a variety of model selection procedures are routinely undertaken followed by statistical tests and confidence intervals computed for a “final” model. In this paper, we examine such practices and show how they ...
متن کاملStatistical inference methods for detecting altered gene associations.
The higher incidence of liver disease in the Asian population raises a great concern to clinicians. To understand the gene functions involved in different stages of the disease, microarray expression data of histological progressive grades, starting from the dysplastic nodule in cirrhotic liver to hepatocellular carcinoma Edmonson grade III are analyzed. The statistical procedures are divided i...
متن کاملReview of the Applications of Exponential Family in Statistical Inference
In this paper, after introducing exponential family and a history of work done by researchers in the field of statistics, some applications of this family in statistical inference especially in estimation problem,statistical hypothesis testing and statistical information theory concepts will be discussed.
