An Adjusted Likelihood Ratio Test for Separability in Unbalanced Multivariate Repeated Measures Data
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an adjusted likelihood ratio test of two-factor separability (Kronecker product structure) for unbalanced multivariate repeated measures data. Here we address the particular case where the within subject correlation is believed to decrease exponentially in both dimensions (e.g., temporal and spatial dimensions). However, the test can be easily generalized to factor specific matrices of any structure. A simulation study is conducted to assess the inference accuracy of the proposed test. Longitudinal medical imaging data concerning schizophrenia and caudate morphology illustrates the methodology.

Evaluation of Tests for Separability and Symmetry of Spatio-temporal Covariance Function
In recent years, some investigations have been carried out to examine the assumptions like stationarity, symmetry and separability of spatio-temporal covariance function which would considerably simplify fitting a valid covariance model to the data by parametric and nonparametric methods. In this article, assuming a Gaussian random field, we consider the likelihood ratio separability test, a va...
متن کاملOptimal Parameter Selection of an SVM Model: Application to Hip Fracture Risk Prediction
This article presents a study of three (cross) validation metrics used for the selection of the optimal parameters of a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The study focuses on problems for which the data is non-separable and unbalanced as is often the case for experimental and clinical data. The three metrics selected in this work are the area under the ROC curve, accuracy, and balanced a...
متن کاملUsing Regression based Control Limits and Probability Mixture Models for Monitoring Customer Behavior
In order to achieve the maximum flexibility in adaptation to ever changing customer’s expectations in customer relationship management, appropriate measures of customer behavior should be continually monitored. To this end, control charts adjusted for buyer’s/visitor’s prior intention to repurchase or visit again are suitable means taking into account the heterogeneity across customers. In the ...
متن کامل199-30: Testing the Hypothesis of a Kroneckar Product Covariance Matrix in Multivariate Repeated Measures Data
We consider the problem of testing of a Kronecker product structured variance covariance matrix against the unstructured variance covariance matrix in the context of multivariate repeated measures data. A likelihood ratio test statistic is developed for this purpose. However, the test statistic for this test cannot be expressed in a closed form. An algorithm, is suggested for the maximum likeli...
متن کاملA Comparison of Two Approaches For Selecting Covariance Structures in The Analysis of Repeated Measurements
The mixed model approach to the analysis of repeated measurements allows users to model the covariance structure of their data. That is, rather than using a univariate or a multivariate test statistic for analyzing effects, tests that assume a particular form for the covariance structure, the mixed model approach allows the data to determine the appropriate structure. Using the appropriate cova...
