Statistics in Question SHEILA M GORE ASSESSING METHODS - CONFIDENCE INTERVALS
Doctors understand so well the importance of checking whether an observed outcome is within the bounds of chance variation that the first two of three pithy definitions of god are as follows: the patient's definition is that the doctor is god, the doctor's definition of god is "p <0 05," while the statistician.... Careful reporting does not end at significance testing, especially when the autho...
متن کاملDiscrimination with Many Variables
Many statistical methods for discriminant analysis do not adapt well or easily to situations where the number of variables is large, possibly even exceeding the number of cases in the training set. We explore a variety of methods for providing robust identiication of future samples in this situation. We develop a range of exible Bayesian methods, and primarily a new hierarchical covariance comp...
متن کاملII.D Many Random Variables
With more than one random variable, the set of outcomes is an N -dimensional space, Sx = {−∞ < x1, x2, · · · , xN < ∞}. For example, describing the location and velocity of a gas particle requires six coordinates. • The joint PDF p(x), is the probability density of an outcome in a volume element dx = ∏N i=1 dxi around the point x = {x1, x2, · · · , xN}. The joint PDF is normalized such that px(...
متن کاملProvability with finitely many variables
For every finite n ≥ 4 there is a logically valid sentence φn with the following properties: φn contains only 3 variables (each of which occurs many times); φn contains exactly one nonlogical binary relation symbol (no function symbols, no constants, and no equality symbol); φn has a proof in first-order logic with equality that contains exactly n variables, but no proof containing only n − 1 v...
متن کاملEstimation with Many Instrumental Variables∗
Using many valid instrumental variables has the potential to improve efficiency but makes the usual inference procedures inaccurate. We give corrected standard errors, an extension of Bekker (1994) to nonnormal disturbances, that adjust for many instruments. We find that this adujstment is useful in empirical work, simulations, and in the asymptotic theory. Use of the corrected standard errors ...
