Concentration of Multivariate Statistical Tables
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we lay the foundation of the concentration measurement for statistical tables with more than two columns. A concentration function and a coefficient of concentration are defined which can be used in a similar way as the Lorenz diagram and the Gini coefficient in case of tables with two columns. For computational purposes we derive an explicit formula and give an algorithm. The mathematics behind our approach is formally equivalent to the statistical theory of the comparison of experiments.

Markov bases for typical block effect models of two-way contingency tables
Markov basis for statistical model of contingency tables gives a useful tool for performing the conditional test of the model via Markov chain Monte Carlo method. In this paper we derive explicit forms of Markov bases for change point models and block diagonal effect models, which are typical block-wise effect models of two-way contingency tables, and perform conditional tests with some real da...
متن کاملMuch beyond Mantel: Bringing Procrustes Association Metric to the Plant and Soil Ecologist’s Toolbox
The correlation of multivariate data is a common task in investigations of soil biology and in ecology in general. Procrustes analysis and the Mantel test are two approaches that often meet this objective and are considered analogous in many situations especially when used as a statistical test to assess the statistical significance between multivariate data tables. Here we call the attention o...
متن کاملHierarchical subspace models for contingency tables
For statistical analysis of multiway contingency tables we propose modeling interaction terms in each maximal compact component of a hierarchical model. By this approach we can search for parsimonious models with smaller degrees of freedom than the usual hierarchical model, while preserving conditional independence structures in the hierarchical model. We discuss estimation and exacts tests of ...
متن کاملCommunity ecology in the age of multivariate multiscale spatial analysis
Species spatial distributions are the result of population demography, behavioral traits, and species interactions in spatially heterogeneous environmental conditions. Hence the composition of species assemblages is an integrative response variable, and its variability can be explained by the complex interplay among several structuring factors. The thorough analysis of spatial variation in spec...

Investigation and analysis of groundwater quality to monitor contamination and identify the most important pollutants and pollution points is one of the research fields. The objective of this research was to plan to improve groundwater quality on various spatial and temporal scales. Groundwater information of Maragheh-Bonab plain was collected from 26 wells in 10 years (2001-2011) with 454 samp...
