Research in validity generalization has generated renewed interest in the sampling error of the Pearson correlation coefficient. The standard estimator for the sampling variance of the correlation was derived under assumptions that do not consider the presence of measurement error or range...

A method is described for estimating and collecting the sample size needed to estimate the mean of a process (with a specified level of statistical precision) in a simulation experiment. Steps are also discussed for incorporating the determination and collection of the sample size into a...

The utility of tables of random numbers is enhanced when statistics of the numbers are known. Such statistics permit, inter alia, the efficiencies of stratified sampling. This fact is indicated by numerical examples Computer Monte Carlo is also discussed.

Occasionally, a selected probability sample may appear undesirable with respect to the available auxiliary information. In such a situation, the practitioner might consider rejecting the sample and selecting a new set of sample elements. We consider a procedure in which the probability sample is...

In statistical surveys, if the measurements of sampling units according to the variable under consideration is expensive in all sense, and if it is possible to rank sampling units according to the same variable by means of a method which is not expensive at all, in those cases, Ranked Set...
- Modeling between-trial variance structure in mixed treatment comparisons. LU, GUOBING; ADES, AE // Biostatistics;Oct2009, Vol. 10 Issue 4, p792
In mixed treatment comparison (MTC) meta-analysis, modeling the heterogeneity in between-trial variances across studies is a difficult problem because of the constraints on the variances inherited from the MTC structure. Starting from a consistent Bayesian hierarchical model for the mean...

Since Lindley and Smith introduced the idea of hierarchical prior distribution, some results have been obtained on hierarchical Bayesian method to deal with lifetime data. But all those results obtained by means of hierarchical Bayesian methods involve complicated integration compute. Though...

As part II of a sequence of two papers, previously developed L-moments by Hosking (), and the LH-moments by Wang () are further investigated. The LH-moments (L to L4) are used to develop the regional parameters of the generalized extreme value distribution, generalized Pareto (GPA) distribution...

Most inter-rater reliability studies using nominal scales suggest the existence of two populations of reference: the population of subjects (collection of objects or persons to be rated) and that of raters. Consequently, the sampling variance of the inter-rater reliability coefficient can be...
