Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

13.0K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

31
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Expected Frequencies in Goodness-of-Fit Tests

2.5K
A goodness-of-fit test is conducted to determine whether the observed frequency values are statistically similar to the frequencies expected for the dataset. Suppose the expected frequencies for a dataset are equal such as when predicting the frequency of any number appearing when casting a die. In that case, the expected frequency is the ratio of the total number of observations (n)  to the number of categories (k).

Compacting Factor test

119
The compacting factor test is a method used to assess the workability of concrete. It is  especially suitable for concrete mixes containing aggregates up to one and a half inches in size. This test involves specialized equipment consisting of two truncated cone-shaped hoppers and a cylinder, all with polished interior surfaces to minimize friction.
The procedure begins by placing concrete into the upper hopper without any compaction. Once filled, the bottom door of this hopper is opened,...

Per-Unit Sequence Models01:26

Per-Unit Sequence Models

72
An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter01:26

Distributions to Estimate Population Parameter

4.0K
The accurate values of population parameters such as population proportion, population mean, and population standard deviation (or variance) are usually unknown. These are fixed values that can only be estimated from the data collected from the samples. The estimates of each of these parameters are sample proportion, the sample mean, and sample standard deviation (or variance). To obtain the values of these sample statistics, data are required that have particular distribution and central...

  • Statistical Modeling
  • Quantitative Psychology

Background:

  • Covariance structure models are essential in statistical analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a multiple-target Tucker, Koopman, and Linn (TKL) method.
  • Simulated error-perturbed correlation matrices for factor analysis models.
  • Compared the multiple-target TKL method against Cudeck and Browne (CB) and Wu and Browne (WB) methods.

Main Results:

  • The multiple-target TKL method produced RMSEA and CFI values closer to target values than CB and WB methods.
  • The new method successfully reproduced target RMSEA and CFI values individually and simultaneously.
  • Simulations demonstrated the superior accuracy of the multiple-target TKL approach.
