Statistical Evidence Measured on a Properly Calibrated Scale for Multinomial Hypothesis Comparisons
Measurement of the strength of statistical evidence is a primary objective of statistical analysis throughout the biological and social sciences. Various quantities have been proposed as definitions of statistical evidence, notably the likelihood ratio, the Bayes factor and the relative belief ratio. Each of these can be motivated by direct appeal to intuition. However, for an evidence measure ...
متن کاملStatistical Evidence Measured on a Properly Calibrated Scale across Nested and Non-nested Hypothesis Comparisons
Statistical modeling is often used to measure the strength of evidence for or against hypotheses about given data. We have previously proposed an information-dynamic framework in support of a properly calibrated measurement scale for statistical evidence, borrowing some mathematics from thermodynamics, and showing how an evidential analogue of the ideal gas equation of state could be used to me...
متن کاملLarge-scale Reordering Model for Statistical Machine Translation using Dual Multinomial Logistic Regression
Phrase reordering is a challenge for statistical machine translation systems. Posing phrase movements as a prediction problem using contextual features modeled by maximum entropy-based classifier is superior to the commonly used lexicalized reordering model. However, Training this discriminative model using large-scale parallel corpus might be computationally expensive. In this paper, we explor...
متن کاملA predictive approach to measuring the strength of statistical evidence for single and multiple comparisons
The normalized maximum likelihood (NML) is a recent penalized likelihood that has properties that justify de ning the amount of discrimination information (DI) in the data supporting an alternative hypothesis over a null hypothesis as the logarithm of an NML ratio, namely, the alternative hypothesis NML divided by the null hypothesis NML. The resulting DI, like the Bayes factor but unlike the p...
متن کاملStatistical Significance Tests are Unnecessary Even When Properly Done and Properly Interpreted: Reply to Commentaries
The three commentators on my paper agree that statistical tests are often improperly used by researchers and that even when properly used, readers misinterpret them. These points have been well established by empirical studies. However, two of the commentators do not agree with my major point that significance tests are unnecessary even when properly used and interpreted. Comments Postprint ver...
