This study introduces a two-part statistical model test for data with zero and positive values. It provides power calculations and sample size determination for this novel chi-squared test.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Two-part statistical models are used for data with a probability mass at zero and a continuous response for values greater than zero.
  • Existing methods may not fully capture the characteristics of such data distributions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct and evaluate a two-degree-of-freedom chi-squared test for two-part models.
  • To derive the non-centrality parameter and power function for the proposed test.
  • To provide sample size calculations for studies utilizing this statistical approach.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a chi-squared test based on the proportion of zeros and the difference among positive response values.
  • Derivation of the non-centrality parameter and power of the test.
  • Comparison of theoretical power with simulation results from existing literature.

Main Results:

  • The study provides the non-centrality parameter and derives the power for the newly constructed two-degree-of-freedom chi-squared test.
  • The derived power function is compared with simulation results, showing good agreement.
  • Sample size calculations are presented for practical application.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed chi-squared test offers a statistically sound method for analyzing data from two-part models.
  • Potential modifications may enhance test performance for discrete non-zero responses.
  • The findings contribute to the statistical toolkit for handling zero-inflated and continuous data.
