Alternative form of Dempster's rule for binary variables
This article develops an alternative form of Dempster’s rule of combination for binary variables. This alternative form does not only provide a closed form formulae for efficient computation but also enables researchers to develop closed form analytical formulae for assessing risks such as information security risk, fraud risk, audit risk, independence risk, etc., involved in assurance services...
متن کاملSymmetrization of Binary Random Variables
A random variable Y is called an independent symmetrizer of a given random variable X if (a) it is independent of X and (b) the distribution of X + Y is symmetric about 0. In cases where the distribution of X is symmetric about its mean, it is easy to see that the constant random variable Y = −EX is a minimum-variance independent symmetrizer. Taking Y to have the same distribution as −X clearly...
متن کاملNon-parametric regression for binary dependent variables
Finite-sample properties of non-parametric regression for binary dependent variables are analyzed. Non parametric regression is generally considered as highly variable in small samples when the number of regressors is large. In binary choice models, however, it may be more reliable since its variance is bounded. The precision in estimating conditional means as well as marginal effects is invest...
متن کاملPhylogenetic logistic regression for binary dependent variables.
We develop statistical methods for phylogenetic logistic regression in which the dependent variable is binary (0 or 1) and values are nonindependent among species, with phylogenetically related species tending to have the same value of the dependent variable. The methods are based on an evolutionary model of binary traits in which trait values switch between 0 and 1 as species evolve up a phylo...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Regression for Binary Dependent Variables
We compare three methods for phylogenetic regression analyses designed for binary dependent variables (traits with two discrete states) both with each other and with ‘‘standard’’ methods that either ignore phylogenetic relationships or ignore the binary character of the dependent variable. In simulations designed to reveal statistical problems arising in different methods, PLogReg (Ives and Gar...
