Multivariate Statistical Modeling with Survey Data

چکیده
We describe an extension of the pseudo maximum likelihood (PML) estimation method developed by Skinner (1989) to multistage strati ̄ed cluster sampling designs, including ̄nite population and unequal probability sampling. We conduct simulation studies to evaluate the performance of the proposed estimator. The estimator is also compared to the general estimating equation (GEE) method for linear regression implemented in SUDAAN. We investigate the distribution of the likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic based on the pseudo log-likelihood value and describe an adjustment that gives correct chi-square distribution. The performance of the adjusted LRT is evaluated with a simulation study based on the Behrens-Fisher problem in a strati ̄ed cluster sampling design.

Modeling Nonnegative Data with Clumping at Zero: A Survey
Applications in which data take nonnegative values but have a substantial proportion of values at zero occur in many disciplines. The modeling of such “clumped-at-zero” or “zero-inflated” data is challenging. We survey models that have been proposed. We consider cases in which the response for the non-zero observations is continuous and in which it is discrete. For the continuous and then the d...
متن کاملModeling of Individual, Job Characteristics and Workplace Conditions with General Health of Female Carpet Weavers Using an Ergonomic Approach
Introduction: The carpet industry is one of the most important handicrafts in Iran. This industry is one of the most difficult and harmful professions, in which the employees are often working in a workplace with non-ergonomic, unsafe, and unhealthy conditions. The present study aimed to address the modeling of the individual, job characteristics, and workplace conditions with the general healt...
متن کاملCorrelation between IP and Rs and grade data in modeling and evaluation of a copper deposit, case study: the Sarbisheh copper deposit, Iran
This paper addresses the application of integrated chargeability and resistivity method and grade data in modeling and evaluation of copper deposits. We argue that the relationship between IP, Rs and grade data may be used for modeling and reserve estimation and tested this argument for Sarbisheh copper deposit that is located in eastern Iran. Geology and mineralization situation of Sarbisheh d...
متن کاملA Survey of Spatial Extremes: Measuring Spatial Dependence and Modeling Spatial Effects
Abstract: • We survey the current practice of analyzing spatial extreme data, which lies at the intersection of extreme value theory and geostatistics. Characterizations of multivariate max-stable distributions typically assume specific univariate marginal distributions, and their statistical applications generally require capturing the tail behavior of the margins and describing the tail depen...
متن کاملModeling Paired Ordinal Response Data
About 25 years ago, McCullagh proposed a method for modeling univariate ordinal responses. After publishing this paper, other statisticians gradually extended his method, such that we are now able to use more complicated but efficient methods to analyze correlated multivariate ordinal data, and model the relationship between these responses and host of covariates. In this paper, we aim to...

Functional Data Analysis (FDA) has recently made considerable progress because of easier access to the data that are essentially in the form of curves. Modeling of Iranian precipitation based on temperature and humidity with continuous the essential nature of such phenomena that are continuous functions of time has not been done properly. The corresponding data are generally collected daily or ...
