Consensus Values, Regressions, and Weighting Factors
نویسندگان
چکیده
An extension to the theory of consensus values is presented. Consensus values are calculated from averages obtained from different sources of measurement. Each source may have its own variability. For each average a weighting factor is calculated, consisting of contributions from both the within- and the between-source variability. An iteration procedure is used and calculational details are presented. An outline of a proof for the convergence of the procedure is given. Consensus values are described for both the case of the weighted average and the weighted regression.

Threading without optimizing weighting factors for scoring function.
Optimizing weighting factors for a linear combination of terms in a scoring function is a crucial step for success in developing a threading algorithm. Usually weighting factors are optimized to yield the highest success rate on a training dataset, and the determined constant values for the weighting factors are used for any target sequence. Here we explore completely different approaches to ha...
متن کاملConsensus Values and Weighting Factors
A method is presented for the statistical analysis of sets of data which are assembled from multiple experiments. The analysis recognizes the existence of both within group and between group variabilities, and calculates appropriate weighting factors based on the observed variability for each group. The weighting factors are used to calculate a "best" consensus value from the overall experiment...
متن کاملSpatial analysis of annual precipitation of Khuzestan province; An approach of spatial regressions analysis
Knowing of precipitation values in different regions is always of main and strategic issues of human which has important role in short- term and long-term decisions. In order to determine of precipitation model and forecasting it, there are different models, but given that the precipitation data have a spatial autocorrelation, the spatial statistic is a powerful tool to recognition of spatial b...
متن کاملPhase Composition Analysis of the NIST Reference Clinkers by Optical Microscopy and X-ray Powder Diffraction
Certification of the phase compositions of the three NIST Reference Clinkers will be based upon more than one independent method. The current reference values were established using an optical microscope examination, with additional optical microscope data taken from an ASTM C 1356 round robin. The present X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) study provides a second, independent estimate of the phase...
متن کاملWeighting regressions by propensity scores.
Regressions can be weighted by propensity scores in order to reduce bias. However, weighting is likely to increase random error in the estimates, and to bias the estimated standard errors downward, even when selection mechanisms are well understood. Moreover, in some cases, weighting will increase the bias in estimated causal parameters. If investigators have a good causal model, it seems bette...
