Graph-based Tests for Two-sample Comparisons of Categorical Data
We study the problem of two-sample comparison with categorical data when the contingency table is sparsely populated. In modern applications, the number of categories is often comparable to the sample size, causing existing methods to have low power. When the number of categories is large, there is often underlying structure on the sample space that can be exploited. We propose a general non-pa...
متن کاملBivariate modelling of clustered continuous and ordered categorical outcomes.
Simultaneous observation of continuous and ordered categorical outcomes for each subject is common in biomedical research but multivariate analysis of the data is complicated by the multiple data types. Here we construct a model for the joint distribution of bivariate continuous and ordinal outcomes by applying the concept of latent variables to a multivariate normal distribution. The approach ...
متن کاملTesting and interval estimation for two-sample survival comparisons with small sample sizes and unequal censoring.
While the commonly used log-rank test for survival times between 2 groups enjoys many desirable properties, sometimes the log-rank test and its related linear rank tests perform poorly when sample sizes are small. Similar concerns apply to interval estimates for treatment differences in this setting, though their properties are less well known. Standard permutation tests are one option, but the...
متن کاملPlanning sample sizes for before-after accident comparisons.
Before-and-after safety studies are becoming more desirable in lieu of traditional cross-sectional studies in establishing crash modification factors, especially after the introduction of the first version of the Highway Safety Manual (2010). We present a simple method for estimating necessary sample sizes to obtain a target precision or power when the effect is represented as a proportional ch...
متن کاملSample Size Formulas for Estimating Intraclass Correlation Coefficients in Reliability Studies with Binary Outcomes
Introduction: Measurement errors can seriously affect quality of clinical practice and medical research. It is therefore important to assess such errors by conducting studies to estimate a coefficients reliability and assessing its precision. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), defined on a model that an observation is a sum of information and random error, has been widely used to qua...
