On using expert opinion in ecological analyses: a frequentist approach
Many ecological studies are characterized by paucity of hard data. Statistical analysis in such situations leads to flat-likelihood functions and wide confidence intervals. Although, there is paucity of hard data, expert knowledge about the phenomenon under study is many times available. Such expert opinion may be used to strengthen statistical inference in these situations. Subjective Bayesian...
متن کاملSoftware Fault Inference Based on Expert Opinion
Software fault prediction is a process which predicts that the software modules are faulty or not by using the software metrics and some soft computing methods. Software metrics are divided into two main categories such as object-oriented and method-level metrics. While class relationships and dependencies are covered by object-oriented metrics, behaviors of the classes can be also measured by ...
متن کاملOrthogonality and transformations in variance components models
In this paper we consider variance components and other models for repeated measures in which a general transformation is applied to the response variable. Using Cox and Reid's concept of parameter orthogonality (1987, JRSS B 49, 1-18) and some approximations to the information matrix we show that the intraclass correlation coe cient in the one-way model is robust to the choice of transformatio...
متن کاملVariance Components Estimation in Generalized Orthogonal Models
The model y = ∑w j=1 Xjβj + e is generalized orthogonal if the orthogonal projection matrices on the range spaces of matrices Xj , j = 1, ..., w, commute. Unbiased estimators are obtained for the variance components of such models with cross-nesting.
متن کاملOn Consistency Test Method of Expert Opinion in Ecological Security Assessment
To reflect the initiative design and initiative of human security management and safety warning, ecological safety assessment is of great value. In the comprehensive evaluation of regional ecological security with the participation of experts, the expert's individual judgment level, ability and the consistency of the expert's overall opinion will have a very important influence on the evaluatio...
