Computational Inquiry in Introductory Statistics

Inquiry based pedagogies have a strong presence in proof-based undergraduate mathematics courses, but can be difficult to implement in courses that are large, procedural, or highly computational. An introductory course in statistics would thus seem an unlikely candidate for an inquiry based approach, as these courses typically steer well clear of proof, have a list of required topics, and depen...

Compound p-value statistics for multiple testing procedures

Many multiple testing procedures make use of the p-values from the individual pairs of hypothesis tests, and are valid if the p-value statistics are independent and uniformly distributed under the null hypotheses. However, it has recently been shown that these types of multiple testing procedures are inefficient since such p-values do not depend upon all of the available data. This paper provid...

Gumbel based p-value approximations for spatial scan statistics

BACKGROUND The spatial and space-time scan statistics are commonly applied for the detection of geographical disease clusters. Monte Carlo hypothesis testing is typically used to test whether the geographical clusters are statistically significant as there is no known way to calculate the null distribution analytically. In Monte Carlo hypothesis testing, simulated random data are generated mult...
