Models of accuracy in repeated-measures designs
نویسنده
چکیده
Accuracy is often analyzed using analysis of variance techniques in which the data are assumed to be normally distributed. However, accuracy data are discrete rather than continuous, and proportion correct are constrained to the range 0–1. Monte Carlo simulations are presented illustrating how this can lead to distortions in the pattern of means. An alternative is to analyze accuracy using logistic regression. In this technique, the log odds (or logit) of proportion correct is modeled as a linear function of the factors in the design. In effect, accuracy is rescaled in terms of a logit ‘‘response-strength’’ measure. Because the logit scale is unbounded, it is not susceptible to the same scaling artifacts as proportion correct. However, repeated-measures designs are not readily handled in standard logistic regression. I consider two approaches to analyzing such designs: conditional logistic regression, in which a Rasch model is assumed for the data, and generalized linear mixed-effect analysis, in which quasi-maximum likelihood techniques are used to estimate model parameters. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that the latter is superior when effect size varies over subjects. 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Real-Time Kinematic Network of Tehran, from Design to Application
Following the request of the Tehran municipality and in order to provide the spatial information required in their various projects, a real-time kinematic network has been designed for Tehran. Based on the existing measures such as the dilution of precision at the network point positions, two different designs have been proposed. A minimum number of six GNSS stations are used in both of the pro...

Crossover designs in clinical trials are very popular for comparing several non-curative treatments for their eecacy, while having each patient as his/her own control. Many investigators have constructed universally optimal designs for certain repeated measurement experiments. However, most of these statistically optimal designs have certain undesirable features from a clinical perspective. In ...

Applying mixed regression models to the analysis of repeated-measures data in psychosomatic medicine.
OBJECTIVE Although repeated-measures designs are increasingly common in research on psychosomatic medicine, they are not well suited to the conventional statistical techniques that scientists often apply to them. The goal of this article is to introduce readers to mixed regression models, which provide a more flexible and accurate framework for managing repeated-measures data. METHODS AND RES...
متن کاملHE Plots for Repeated Measures Designs
Hypothesis error (HE) plots, introduced in Friendly (2007), provide graphical methods to visualize hypothesis tests in multivariate linear models, by displaying hypothesis and error covariation as ellipsoids and providing visual representations of effect size and significance. These methods are implemented in the heplots for R (Fox, Friendly, and Monette 2009a) and SAS (Friendly 2006), and appl...
