Testing for treatment and interaction effects in semi-parametric analysis of covariance
1National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, USA. hunsber@helix.nih.gov
Abstract:
Semi-parametric regression models assume that the effects of covariates on the mean response are additive. We propose a test of additivity when there is one continuous covariate and a group indicator. At p fixed points, the differences of the within-group kernel estimates of the means are calculated, and the likelihood ratio test that the p differences have a constant mean is formed. The kernel bandwidth and the location of the p fixed points are chosen to give the test good power. Performance of the proposed test is compared with parametric and non-parametric tests of additivity. Published in 2001 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Two-Way ANOVA
The two-way ANOVA analysis initially begins by stating the null hypothesis that there is an interaction effect between the two factors of a dataset. This effect can be visualized using line segments formed by joining the means for...

Statistical Inference Techniques in Hypothesis Testing: Parametric Versus Nonparametric Data
Parametric statistics, as the name suggests, assumes that data follow a specific distribution, often a normal distribution. This assumption enables robust hypothesis testing and estimation. Parametric methods, like the Student's t-test or Goodness-of-fit test, are frequently employed in biostatistics due to their robustness. For instance, comparing...
