Minimum Φ-divergence Estimator and Hierarchical Testing in Loglinear Models
In this paper we consider inference based on very general divergence measures, under assumptions of multinomial sampling and loglinear models. We define the minimum φ-divergence estimator, which is seen to be a generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator. This estimator is then used in a φ-divergence goodness-of-fit statistic, which is the basis of two new statistics for solving the prob...
متن کاملTesting Multilevel Mediation Using Hierarchical Linear Models Problems and Solutions
Testing multilevel mediation using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. However, potential confounding in multilevel mediation effect estimates can arise in these models when within-group effects differ from between-group effects. This study summarizes three types of HLM-based multilevel mediation models, and then explains that in two types of the...
متن کاملA conjugate prior for discrete hierarchical loglinear models
In Bayesian analysis of multi-way contingency tables, the selection of a prior distribution for either the log-linear parameters or the cell probabilities parameters is a major challenge. In this paper, we define a flexible family of conjugate priors for the wide class of discrete hierarchical log-linear models, which includes the class of graphical models. These priors are defined as the Diaco...
متن کاملFlux Transport Solar Dynamo Models, Current Problems and Possible Solutions
The sunspot solar cycle has been usually explained as the result of a dynamo process operating in the sun. This is a classical problem in Astrophysics that until the present is not fully solved. Here we discuss current problems and limitations with the solar dynamo modeling and their possible solutions using the kinematic dynamo model with the Babcock-Leighton approximation as a tool. In partic...
متن کاملProblems Associated with the Use of Communicative Language Teaching in EFL Contexts and Possible Solutions
If the target of foreign language teaching is to use the language, communicative language teaching (CLT) seems to be an ideal teaching model. The goal of teaching with this method is to use the language as a medium of communication (Adi, 2012).The application of the communicative approach in teaching English as a foreign language, however, is associated with some problems that can cause the met...
