Multiple Comparison of Medians Using Permutation Tests

Spatiotemporal Localization of Significant Activation in MEG Using Permutation Tests

We describe the use of non-parametric permutation tests to detect activation in cortically-constrained maps of current density computed from MEG data. The methods are applicable to any inverse imaging method that maps event-related MEG to a coregistered cortical surface. To determine an appropriate threshold to apply to statistics computed from these maps, it is important to control for the mul...

Multivariate and Multiple Permutation Tests

In this article, we consider the use of permutation tests for comparing multivariate parameters from two populations. First, the underlying properties of permutation tests when comparing parameter vectors from two distributions P and Q are developed. Although an exact level α test can be constructed by a permutation test when the fundamental assumption of identical underlying distributions hold...

Step-Down Multiple Comparison Procedures Using Medians and Permutation Tests

Richter and McCann (2007) presented a median-based multiple comparison procedure for assessing evidence of group location differences. The sampling distribution was based on the permutation distribution of the maximum median difference among all pairs, and provides strong control of the FWE. This idea is extended to develop a step-down procedure for comparing group locations. The new step-down ...

Gini's Multiple Regressions Gini's Multiple Regressions

Two regression methods can be interpreted as based on Gini's mean difference (GMD). One relies on a weighted average of slopes defined between adjacent observations and the other is based on minimization of the GMD of the errors. The properties of the former approach are investigated in a multiple regression framework. These estimators have representations that resemble the OLS estimators, and ...
