Inflation of Type I error rate in multiple re - gression when independent variables are measured with error
When independent variables are measured with error, ordinary least squares regression can yield parameter estimates that are biased and inconsistent. This paper documents an inflation of Type I error rate that can also occur. In addition to analytic results, a large-scale Monte Carlo study shows unacceptably high Type I error rates under circumstances that could easily be encountered in practic...
متن کاملType I error and statistical power of the Mantel-Haenszel procedure for detecting DIF: a meta-analysis.
This article presents a meta-analysis of studies investigating the effectiveness of the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) procedure when used to detect differential item functioning (DIF). Studies were located electronically in the main databases, representing the codification of 3,774 different simulation conditions, 1,865 related to Type I error and 1,909 to statistical power. The homogeneity of effect-si...
متن کاملType I and II error
Type I error A type I error occurs when one rejects the null hypothesis when it is true. The probability of a type I error is the level of significance of the test of hypothesis, and is denoted by *alpha*. Usually a one-tailed test of hypothesis is is used when one talks about type I error. Examples: If the cholesterol level of healthy men is normally distributed with a mean of 180 and a standa...
متن کاملInflation of Type I Error Rates by Unequal Variances Associated with Parametric, Nonparametric, and Rank-Transformation Tests
It is well known that the two-sample Student t test fails to maintain its significance level when the variances of treatment groups are unequal, and, at the same time, sample sizes are unequal. However, introductory textbooks in psychology and education often maintain that the test is robust to variance heterogeneity when sample sizes are equal. The present study discloses that, for a wide vari...
