Determination of Expected Frequency01:08

Determination of Expected Frequency

2.3K
Suppose one wants to test independence between the two variables of a contingency table. The values in the table constitute the observed frequencies of the dataset. But how does one determine the expected frequency of the dataset? One of the important assumptions is that the two variables are independent, which means the variables do not influence each other. For independent variables, the statistical probability of any event involving both variables is calculated by multiplying the individual...

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence

5.5K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:
H0: The two variables (factors)...

Introduction to Test of Independence

2.6K
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:

Collisions in Multiple Dimensions: Problem Solving

4.6K
In multiple dimensions, the conservation of momentum applies in each direction independently. Hence, to solve collisions in multiple dimensions, we should write down the momentum conservation in each direction separately. To help understand collisions in multiple dimensions, consider an example.
A small car of mass 1,200 kg traveling east at 60 km/h collides at an intersection with a truck of mass 3,000 kg traveling due north at 40 km/h. The two vehicles are locked together. What is the...

Multiple Regression01:25

Multiple Regression

3.4K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Area of Science:

  • Traffic Safety
  • Transportation Engineering
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Multi-vehicle (MV) crashes pose significant societal risks and safety challenges.
  • Understanding crash severity is key to developing effective traffic safety countermeasures.
  • Limited research exists on machine learning for MV crash injury-severity prediction and temporal stability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify critical factors contributing to MV crash injury severity.
  • To predict the possibility of MV injury severity using advanced modeling techniques.
  • To assess the temporal stability of MV crash data and its impact on analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Employed Random Parameters Logit (RPL) and Random Forest (RF) models for crash injury-severity analysis.
  • Utilized three-year (2016-2018) MV crash data from Washington, USA (HSIS).
  • Conducted likelihood ratio tests for temporal stability and evaluated model performance using four indicators.

Main Results:

  • Machine learning (RF) models demonstrated superior overall accuracy compared to statistical (RPL) models.
  • Statistical (RPL) models showed better prediction performance concerning crash costs.
  • Temporal instabilities were identified between 2016 and 2017 MV crash data.

Conclusions:

  • Both machine learning and statistical models offer valuable insights into MV crash injury severity.
  • The choice of model depends on the specific evaluation metric (accuracy vs. cost).
  • Temporal variations in crash data must be considered for robust transportation safety analysis.
