Data Driven Approaches to Testing Homogeneity of Intraclass Correlation Coefficients

چکیده
The test of homogeneity for intraclass correlation coefficients has been one of the active topics in statistical research. Several chi-square tests have been proposed to test the homogeneity of intraclass correlations in the past few decades. The big concern for them is that these methods are seriously biased when sample sizes are not large. In this thesis, data driven approaches are proposed to testing the homogeneity of intraclass correlation coefficients of several populations. Through simulation study, data driven methods have been proved to be less biased and accurate than some commonly used chi-square tests. INDEX WORDS: Intraclass correlation coefficient, Test of homogeneity, Data driven approach, Bootstrap, Chi-square test DATA DRIVEN APPROACHES TO TESTING HOMOGENEITY OF INTRACLASS CORRELATION COEFFICIENTS

On Various Intraclass Correlation Reliability Coefficients
This paper briefly reviews the most frequently used and misused intraclass correlation analysis of variance (ANOVA) reliability measures. Recommendations are made for the one-way ANOVA intraclass correlation and against the use of several coefficients: Winer's so-called "anchor point method," KuderRichardson Formula Number 20, and the Spearman-Brown prediction formula. The computation of the in...
متن کاملAn Approximate Test for Homogeneity of Correlated Correlation Coefficients
This paper develops and evaluates an approximate procedure for testing homogeneity of an arbitrary subset of correlation coefficients among variables measured on the same set of individuals. The sample may have some missing data. The simple test statistic is a multiple of the variance of Fisher r-to-z transformed correlation coefficients relevant to the null hypothesis being tested and is refer...
متن کاملOn testing equality of intraclass correlations under unequal family sizes
The three likelihood-based tests, namely, likelihood ratio test, Rao score test, and Wald test and two more asymptotic tests which use Srivastava’s estimator of intraclass correlation coefficient are considered to test the null hypothesis of equality of intraclass correlation coefficients when the families have unequal number of children. Methods are illustrated on Galton’s data set. Using simu...
