Prevalence proportion ratios: estimation and hypothesis testing.
BACKGROUND Recent communications have argued that often it may not be appropriate to analyse cross-sectional studies of prevalent outcomes with logistic regression models. The purpose of this communication is to compare three methods that have been proposed for application to cross sectional studies: (1) a multiplicative generalized linear model, which we will call the log-binomial model, (2) a...
متن کاملEstimation of a Proportion with Survey Data
The estimation of proportions is a subject which cannot be circumvented in a first survey sampling course. Estimating the proportion of voters in favour of a political party, based on a political opinion survey, is just one concrete example of this procedure. However, another important issue in survey sampling concerns the proper use of auxiliary information, which typically comes from external...
متن کاملEstimation of parameter of proportion in Binomial Distribution Using Adjusted Prior Distribution
Historically, various methods were suggested for the estimation of Bernoulli and Binomial distributions parameter. One of the suggested methods is the Bayesian method, which is based on employing prior distribution. Their sound selection on parameter space play a crucial role in reducing posterior Bayesian estimator error. At times, large scale of the parametric changes on parameter space bring...
متن کاملInterval Estimation for a Binomial Proportion
We revisit the problem of interval estimation of a binomial proportion. The erratic behavior of the coverage probability of the standard Wald confidence interval has previously been remarked on in the literature (Blyth and Still, Agresti and Coull, Santner and others). We begin by showing that the chaotic coverage properties of the Wald interval are far more persistent than is appreciated. Furt...
متن کاملMixture Proportion Estimation via Kernel Embedding of Distributions
Mixture proportion estimation (MPE) is the problem of estimating the weight of a component distribution in a mixture, given samples from the mixture and component. This problem constitutes a key part in many “weakly supervised learning” problems like learning with positive and unlabelled samples, learning with label noise, anomaly detection and crowdsourcing. While there have been several metho...
