This study introduces a new statistical method to compare segmented line regression functions. The permutation test effectively compares rate trends, as demonstrated in cancer mortality data analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Epidemiology
  • Statistical Modeling

Background:

  • Segmented line regression models analyze rate trend patterns through continuous linear phases.
  • Comparing such functions is crucial for understanding changes in trends over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a statistical procedure for comparing two segmented line regression functions.
  • To test for identical functions or parallel functions with different intercepts.
  • To evaluate the performance of a proposed permutation test.

Main Methods:

  • A general test statistic is described for comparing segmented line regression functions.
  • A permutation procedure is proposed to estimate p-values for the tests.
  • The permutation test is compared against an approximate F-test.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Simulations are used to study the permutation test's performance.

    • Main Results:

    • The permutation test provides a reliable method for estimating p-values when comparing segmented line regression functions.
    • The proposed procedure was successfully applied to compare lung and breast cancer mortality rates.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed statistical procedure and permutation test are effective for comparing segmented line regression functions.
    • This method has practical applications in epidemiological studies, such as analyzing cancer mortality trends.
