Weighted effect coding refers to a specific coding matrix to include factor variables in generalised linear regression models. With weighted effect coding, the effect for each category represents the deviation of that category from the weighted mean (which corresponds to the sample mean). This technique has particularly attractive properties when analysing observational data, that commonly are ...

A weighted mean matrix, denoted by (N , pn), is a lower triangular matrix with entries pk/Pn, where {pk} is a nonnegative sequence with p0 > 0, and Pn := ∑n k=0 pk. Mishra and Srivastava [1] obtained sufficient conditions on a sequence {pk} and a sequence {λn} for the series ∑ anPnλn/npn to be absolutely summable by the weighted mean matrix (N , pn). Bor [2] extended this result to absolute sum...
