Multiple comparisons distortions of parameter estimates.
In experiments involving many variables, investigators typically use multiple comparisons procedures to determine differences that are unlikely to be the result of chance. However, investigators rarely consider how the magnitude of the greatest observed effect sizes may have been subject to bias resulting from multiple testing. These questions of bias become important to the extent investigator...
متن کاملMultiple comparisons
While multiple testing procedures have been the focus of much statistical research, an important facet of the problem is how to deal with possible confounding. Procedures have been developed by authors in genetics and statistics. In this chapter, we relate these proposals. We propose two new multiple testing approaches within this framework. The first combines sensitivity analysis methods with ...
متن کاملGenetic parameter estimates of body weight traits in Iran-Black sheep
The objective of the current study was to estimate the genetic parameters for body weight traits at different ages in Iran-Black sheep. Data collected during a 24-year period (1984-2008) on body weight were used to model the growth trajectory and estimate genetic parameters. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight at 3 months of age (WW), 6 months weight (6MW), 9 months weight (9M...
متن کاملAscertainment-adjusted parameter estimates revisited.
Ascertainment-adjusted parameter estimates from a genetic analysis are typically assumed to reflect the parameter values in the original population from which the ascertained data were collected. Burton et al. (2000) recently showed that, given unmodeled parameter heterogeneity, the standard ascertainment adjustment leads to biased parameter estimates of the population-based values. This findin...
متن کاملImproving Subjective Estimates Using Paired Comparisons
M ost practitioners and project managers still produce estimates based on ad hoc or so-called “expert” approaches, even though several software sizing methods—counting source lines of code,1 function points,2 full function points,3 and object points, to name a few—are well known and have been available for a long time. Among the most common explanations given for not adopting more formal Despit...
