Permutation Methods: A Basis for Exact Inference
The use of permutation methods for exact inference dates back to Fisher in 1935. Since then, the practicality of such methods has increased steadily with computing power. They can now easily be employed in many situations without concern for computing difficulties. We discuss the reasoning behind these methods and describe situations when they are exact and distribution-free. We illustrate thei...
متن کاملExact Statistical Inference for Some Parametric Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes
Nonhomogeneous Poisson processes (NHPPs) are often used to model recurrent events, and there is thus a need to check model fit for such models. We study the problem of obtaining exact goodness-of-fit tests for certain parametric NHPPs, using a method based on Monte Carlo simulation conditional on sufficient statistics. A closely related way of obtaining exact confidence intervals in parametri...
متن کاملConditioning Methods for Exact and Approximate Inference in Causal Networks
We present two algorithms for exact and ap proximate inference in causal networks. The first algorithm, dynamic conditioning, is a re finement of cutset conditioning that has lin ear complexity on some networks for which cutset conditioning is exponential. The sec ond algorithm, B-conditioning, is an algo rithm for approximate inference that allows one to trade-off the quality of approxima...
متن کاملValidating cluster size inference: random field and permutation methods.
Cluster size tests used in analyses of brain images can have more sensitivity compared to intensity based tests. The random field (RF) theory has been widely used in implementation of such tests, however the behavior of such tests is not well understood, especially when the RF assumptions are in doubt. In this paper, we carried out a simulation study of cluster size tests under varying smoothne...
متن کاملNonstationary cluster-size inference with random field and permutation methods.
Because of their increased sensitivity to spatially extended signals, cluster-size tests are widely used to detect changes and activations in brain images. However, when images are nonstationary, the cluster-size distribution varies depending on local smoothness. Clusters tend to be large in smooth regions, resulting in increased false positives, while in rough regions, clusters tend to be smal...
