Analysis of Covariance

چکیده

Overview: In experimental methods, a central tenet of establishing significant relationships has to do with the notion of random assignment. Random assignment solves a couple of problems. Statistically, it ensures that, in the main, the resulting probability will be independent of the starting conditions of an experiment. Secondly, it is a way of establishing parity, which is to say that it is a method of controlling for what you don’t know. ANCOVA is a method that can be thought of as a cross between ANOVA and Regression. It is, in fact, an ANOVA where the effects of some other variable have been controlled for statistically. There are three reasons why one would choose to use an ANCOVA: 1. Reduction of within group or error variance – to increase the sensitivity of a test of main effects and/or interactions, by reducing the error term. 2. Elimination of systematic bias – to adjust the means on the d.v. to what they would be if all subjects scored equally on the c.v. 3. Stepdown Analysis – to compare scores on a d.v. after they are adjusted for scores on another DV, which is treated as a c.v. (MANOVA model).

Covariance Analysis of a vector tracking GPS receiver based on MMSE multiuser Detection

In high dynamic conditions, using vector tracking loops instead of scalar tracking loops in GPS receivers is proved as an efficient method to compensate the performance. The Minimum Mean Squared Error detector as a multiuser detector is applied in the vector tracking loop for more reliability and efficiency. The Kalman filter does the two tasks of tracking and extracting the navigation data aft...

ANALYSIS OF COVARIANCE BASED ON FUZZY TEST STATISTIC

One-way analysis of covariance is a popular and common statisticalmethod, wherein the equality of the means of several random variables whichhave a linear relationship with a random mathematical variable, is tested. Inthis study, a method is presented to improve the one-way analysis of covari-ance when there is an uncertainty in accepting the statistical hypotheses. Themethod deals with a fuzzy...

Estimation of Climate Zone Effects on Iranian Temperature, Humidity, and Precipitation using Functional Analysis of Covariance

Functional Data Analysis (FDA) has recently made considerable progress because of easier access to the data that are essentially in the form of curves. Although functional modeling of Iranian precipitation based on temperature or humidity was done before, here we use functional analysis of variance and covariance to analyze the weather data collected randomly from Iranian weather stations in 20...

A New Class of Spatial Covariance Functions Generated by Higher-order Kernels

Covariance functions and variograms play a fundamental role in exploratory analysis and statistical modelling of spatial and spatio-temporal datasets. In this paper, we construct a new class of spatial covariance functions using the Fourier transform of some higher-order kernels. Moreover, we extend this class of spatial covariance functions to the spatio-temporal setting using the idea used in...

EIGENVECTORS OF COVARIANCE MATRIX FOR OPTIMAL DESIGN OF STEEL FRAMES

In this paper, the discrete method of eigenvectors of covariance matrix has been used to weight minimization of steel frame structures. Eigenvectors of Covariance Matrix (ECM) algorithm is a robust and iterative method for solving optimization problems and is inspired by the CMA-ES method. Both of these methods use covariance matrix in the optimization process, but the covariance matrix calcula...
