Optimizing Classi er Performance Via the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Statistic
Cross entropy and mean squared error are typical cost functions used to optimize classi er performance. The goal of the optimization is usually to achieve the best correct classi cation rate. However, for many two-class real-world problems, the ROC curve is a more meaningful performance measure. We demonstrate that minimizing cross entropy or mean squared error does not necessarily maximize the...
متن کاملA uniform saddlepoint expansion for the null-distribution of the Wilcoxon- Mann-Whitney statistic
The authors give the exact coefficient of 1/N in a saddlepoint approximation to the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney null-distribution. This saddlepoint approximation is obtained from an Edgeworth approximation to the exponentially tilted distribution. Moreover, the rate of convergence of the relative error is uniformly of order O(1/N) in a large deviation interval as defined in Feller (1971). The propose...
متن کاملA data-adaptive methodology for finding an optimal weighted generalized Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic
Xie and Priebe [2002. “Generalizing the Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon Statistic”. J. Nonparametric Statist. 12, 661–682] introduced the class of weighted generalized Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon (WGMWW) statistics which contained as special cases the classical Mann–Whitney test statistic and many other nonparametric distribution-free test statistics commonly used for the two-sample testing problem. The two-sa...
متن کاملThe Mann Whitney Wilcoxon Distribution Using Linked Lists
We give an improved algorithm for calculating the exact null distribution of the two sample Mann Whitney Wilcoxon rank sum statistic. The algorithm modifies the update method of Smid using a minimal linked list which directs calculation of only those intermediate probabilities required for the final value. Using an efficient shortened representation of the list of required intermediate values, ...
متن کاملExploiting the Link Between the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney Test and a Simple Odds Statistic
Over a quarter-century ago, Alan Agresti (Biometrics, 1980) proposed using the generalized odds ratio (genOR) to summarize the association between two ordinal variables. Unfortunately, genOR is still largely unknown, even though it is elegantly straightforward and fills key voids in the working statistician’s toolbox. An extension of it, a statistic we are calling “WMWodds,” is an ideal effect-...
