Naive application of permutation testing leads to inflated type I error rates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Failure to account for family structure within populations or in complex mating designs via uninformed applications of permutation testing will lead to inflated type I error rates. Careful consideration of the design factors is essential since some situations allow several valid permutation strategies, and the choice that maximizes statistical power will not always be intuitive.

A comparison of procedures to test for moderators in mixed-effects meta-regression models.
Several alternative methods are available when testing for moderators in mixed-effects meta-regression models. A simulation study was carried out to compare different methods in terms of their Type I error and statistical power rates. We included the standard (Wald-type) test, the method proposed by Knapp and Hartung (2003) in 2 different versions, the Huber-White method, the likelihood ratio t...
متن کاملThe Permutation Test as an Ancillary Procedure for Comparing Zero-Inflated Continuous Distributions
Empirical estimates of power and Type I error can be misleading if a statistical test does not perform at the stated rejection level under the null hypothesis. We employed the permutation test to control the empirical type I errors for zero-inflated exponential distributions. The simulation results indicated that the permutation test can be used effectively to control the type I errors near the...
متن کاملPermutation testing in the presence of polygenic variation.
This article discusses problems with and solutions to performing valid permutation tests for quantitative trait loci in the presence of polygenic effects. Although permutation testing is a popular approach for determining statistical significance of a test statistic with an unknown distribution--for instance, the maximum of multiple correlated statistics or some omnibus test statistic for a gen...
متن کاملPower of permutation tests using generalized additive models with bivariate smoothers.
In spatial epidemiology, when applying Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) with a bivariate locally weighted regression smooth over longitude and latitude, a natural hypothesis is whether location is associated with an outcome. An approximate chi-square test (ACST) is available but has an inflated type I error rate. Permutation tests provide alternatives. This research evaluated powers of ACST a...
متن کاملModified signed log-likelihood test for the coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population
In this paper, we consider the problem of two sided hypothesis testing for the parameter of coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population. An approach used here is the modified signed log-likelihood ratio (MSLR) method which is the modification of traditional signed log-likelihood ratio test. Previous works show that this proposed method has third-order accuracy whereas the traditi...
