Introduction to Test of Independence01:21

Introduction to Test of Independence

3.1K
In statistics, the term independence means that one can directly obtain the probability of any event involving both variables by multiplying their individual probabilities. Tests of independence are chi-square tests involving the use of a contingency table of observed (data) values.
The test statistic for a test of independence is similar to that of a goodness-of-fit test:

Truncation in Survival Analysis01:09

Truncation in Survival Analysis

718
Truncation in survival analysis refers to the exclusion of individuals or events from the dataset based on specific criteria related to the time of the event. This exclusion can happen in two primary forms: left truncation and right truncation.
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

711
Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

Assumptions of Survival Analysis01:15

Assumptions of Survival Analysis

490
Survival models analyze the time until one or more events occur, such as death in biological organisms or failure in mechanical systems. These models are widely used across fields like medicine, biology, engineering, and public health to study time-to-event phenomena. To ensure accurate results, survival analysis relies on key assumptions and careful study design.

Two-Way ANOVA01:17

Two-Way ANOVA

3.7K
The two-way ANOVA is an extension of the one-way ANOVA. It is a statistical test performed on three or more samples categorized by two factors - a row factor and a column factor. Ronald Fischer mentioned it in 1925 in his book 'Statistical Methods for Researchers.'
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...

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks01:21

Friedman Two-way Analysis of Variance by Ranks

578
Friedman's Two-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks is a nonparametric test designed to identify differences across multiple test attempts when traditional assumptions of normality and equal variances do not apply. Unlike conventional ANOVA, which requires normally distributed data with equal variances, Friedman's test is ideal for ordinal or non-normally distributed data, making it particularly useful for analyzing dependent samples, such as matched subjects over time or repeated measures...

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Longitudinal Data Analysis

Background:

  • Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) for longitudinal data rely on conditional independence.
  • Assessing serial dependence violations in GLMMs is challenging with standard methods.
  • Model misspecification can lead to inconsistent estimation in longitudinal studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Development of the targeted root mean squared error of approximation (TRSMEA) for misfit assessment.
  • Comparison of TMT power against general misspecification tests.

Main Results:

  • The TMT is straightforward and computationally efficient for standard software.
  • TMT demonstrates higher statistical power in detecting serial dependence than general misspecification tests.
  • TRSMEA quantifies population-level misfit attributable to serial dependence.

Conclusions:

  • The TMT provides a reliable and powerful method for diagnosing serial dependence in longitudinal data.
  • TRSMEA offers a valuable metric for understanding the impact of serial dependence on model fit.
  • These methods enhance the robustness of statistical inference in longitudinal studies.
