A statistical test to show negligible trend: Reply
Camp et al. (2008) extend the ideas discussed in Dixon and Pechmann (2005). Our paper used equivalence regions to test for negligible trends (null hypothesis that trends are not negligible). Their paper suggests also using equivalence regions to test an alternative hypothesis of ‘‘ecologically meaningful’’ trends (null hypothesis that trends are negligible but not zero). Camp et al. are appropr...
متن کاملA statistical test to show negligible trend
The usual statistical tests of trend are inappropriate for demonstrating the absence of trend. This is because failure to reject the null hypothesis of no trend does not prove that null hypothesis. The appropriate statistical method is based on an equivalence test. The null hypothesis is that the trend is not zero, i.e., outside an a priori specified equivalence region defining trends that are ...

متن کاملA statistical test for outlier identification in data envelopment analysis
In the use of peer group data to assess individual, typical or best practice performance, the effective detection of outliers is critical for achieving useful results. In these ‘‘deterministic’’ frontier models, statistical theory is now mostly available. This paper deals with the statistical pared sample method and its capability of detecting outliers in data envelopment analysis. In the prese...
متن کاملUnsharp Humean Chances in Statistical Physics: A Reply to Beisbart
In an illuminating article, Beisbart (this volume) argues that the recently-popular thesis that the probabilities of statistical mechanics (SM) are Best System chances runs into a serious obstacle: there is no one axiomatization of SM that is robustly best, as judged by the theoretical virtues of simplicity, strength, and fit. Beisbart takes this 'no clear winner' result to imply that the proba...
