Statistical Inference After Model Selection∗
Conventional statistical inference requires that a model of how the data were generated be known before the data are analyzed. Yet in criminology, and in the social sciences more broadly, a variety of model selection procedures are routinely undertaken followed by statistical tests and confidence intervals computed for a “final” model. In this paper, we examine such practices and show how they ...
متن کاملOptimal Inference After Model Selection
To perform inference after model selection, we propose controlling the selective type I error; i.e., the error rate of a test given that it was performed. By doing so, we recover long-run frequency properties among selected hypotheses analogous to those that apply in the classical (non-adaptive) context. Our proposal is closely related to data splitting and has a similar intuitive justification...
متن کاملModel Selection in Statistical Inference and Geometric Fitting Kenichi
Taking line tting to points in two dimensions as a typical example, we point out the inherent di erence between statistical inference and geometric tting. We describe their duality in the sense that the asymptotic properties of statistical inference in the limit of an in nite number of observations hold for geometric tting in the limit of in nitesimal perturbations. We contrast stochastic model...
متن کاملUniform Asymptotic Inference and the Bootstrap After Model Selection
Recently, Tibshirani et al. (2016) proposed a method for making inferences about parameters defined by model selection, in a typical regression setting with normally distributed errors. Here, we study the large sample properties of this method, without assuming normality. We prove that the test statistic of Tibshirani et al. (2016) is asymptotically valid, as the number of samples n grows and t...
متن کاملProcrustean statistical inference of deformations
A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...
