Applied researchers often claim that the risk difference is more heterogeneous than the relative risk and the odds ratio. Some also argue that there are theoretical grounds for why this claim is true. In this note, we point out that these…
The comparison of proportions is considered in the asymptotic generalized linear model with the odds ratio as effect size. When several doses are compared with a control assuming an order restriction, a Williams-type trend test can be used.…
The statistical analysis of discrete data has been the subject of extensive statistical research dating back to the work of Pearson. In this survey we review some recently developed methods for testing hypotheses about high-dimensional…
Several approaches to testing the hypothesis that two histograms are drawn from the same distribution are investigated. We note that single-sample continuous distribution tests may be adapted to this two-sample grouped data situation. The…
A close look at students' written work on examinations offers a wealth of information about their performance, their knowledge of the subject, their strengths, weaknesses and misconceptions, and their overall level of mathematical skills…
We introduce a test for the conditional independence of random variables $X$ and $Y$ given a random variable $Z$, specifically by sampling from the joint distribution $(X,Y,Z)$, binning the support of the distribution of $Z$, and conducting…
Equivalence tests, otherwise known as parity or similarity tests, are frequently used in ``bioequivalence studies" to establish practical equivalence rather than the usual statistical significant difference. In this article, we propose an…
We study a structured permutation scheme for two-sample testing that restricts permutations to single cross-swaps between block-selected representatives. Our analysis yields three main results. First, we provide an exact validity…
In this paper new families of test statistics are introduced and studied for the problem of comparing two treatments in terms of the likelihood ratio order. The considered families are based on phi-divergence measures and arise as natural…
We study two nonparametric tests of the hypothesis that a sequence of independent observations is identically distributed against the alternative that at a single change point the distribution changes. The tests are based on the Cramer-von…
It is an important inferential problem to test no association between two binary variables based on data. Tests based on the sample odds ratio are commonly used. We bring in a competing test based on the Pearson correlation coefficient. In…
In this paper we proposed the alternative test to the two independent and normally distributed samples t test based on the cross variance concept. We present the simulation results of the power and the error rate of the special case of the…
We derive a new class of statistical tests for generalized linear models based on thresholding point estimators. These tests can be employed whether the model includes more parameters than observations or not. For linear models, our tests…
Multivariate (average) equivalence testing is widely used to assess whether the means of two conditions of interest are `equivalent' for different outcomes simultaneously. The multivariate Two One-Sided Tests (TOST) procedure is typically…
The estimated accuracy of a classifier is a random quantity with variability. A common practice in supervised machine learning, is thus to test if the estimated accuracy is significantly better than chance level. This method of signal…
The so-called 'energy test' is a frequentist technique used in experimental particle physics to decide whether two samples are drawn from the same distribution. Its usage requires a good understanding of the distribution of the test…
A multivariate one-sample location test based on the center-outward ranks and signs is considered, and two different testing procedures are proposed for centrally symmetric distributions. The first test is based on a random division of the…
This is primarily an overview article on some results and problems involving the classical Hardy function $$ Z(t) := \zeta(1/2+it){\bigl(\chi(1/2+it)\bigr)}^{-1/2}, \quad \zeta(s) = \chi(s)\zeta(1-s). $$ In particular, we discuss the first…
This paper illustrates how to calculate the power of a statistical test by computer simulation. It provides R code for power simulations of several classical inference procedures including one- and two-sample t tests, chi-squared tests,…
Mechanobiology is gaining more and more traction as the fundamental role of physical forces in biological function becomes clearer. Forces at the microscale are often measured indirectly using inverse problems such as Traction Force…
