Visual Statistical Inference for Regression Parameters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Statistical graphics play a crucial role in exploratory data analysis, model checking and diagnosis. Until recently there were no formal visual methods in place for determining statistical significance of findings. This changed, when Buja et al. [2009] conceptually introduced two protocols for formal tests of visual findings. In this paper we take this a step further by comparing the lineup protocol [Buja et al., 2009] against classical statistical testing of the significance of regression model parameters. A human subjects experiment is conducted using simulated data to provide controlled conditions. Results suggest that the lineup protocol provides results equivalent to the uniformly most powerful (UMP) test and for some scenarios yields better power than the UMP test.

متن کاملSample size determination for logistic regression
The problem of sample size estimation is important in medical applications, especially in cases of expensive measurements of immune biomarkers. This paper describes the problem of logistic regression analysis with the sample size determination algorithms, namely the methods of univariate statistics, logistics regression, cross-validation and Bayesian inference. The authors, treating the regr...
متن کاملInference for Non-stationary Time Series Regression With/without Inequality Constraints
We consider statistical inference for time series linear regression where the response and predictor processes may experience general forms of abrupt and smooth non-stationary behaviors over time. Meanwhile, the regression parameters may be subject to linear inequality constraints. A simple and unified procedure for structural stability check and parameter inference is proposed. In the case whe...
متن کاملComparing the Shape Parameters of Two Weibull Distributions Using Records: A Generalized Inference
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. For inference about two Weibull distributions using records, the shape parameters of the distributions are usually considered equal. However, there is not an appropriate method for comparing the shape parameters in the literature. Therefore, comparing the shape parameters of two Weibull distributions is very important. I...
متن کاملImplementation of Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (Anfis) for Performance Prediction of Fuel Cell Parameters
Fuel cells are potential candidates for storing energy in many applications; however, their implementation is limited due to poor efficiency and high initial and operating costs. The purpose of this research is to find the most influential fuel cell parameters by applying the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The ANFIS method is implemented to select highly influential parame...
