A note on computing the chi-square noncentrality parameter for power analyses.

چکیده
Power calculations for a variety of research designs used in behavior genetics require the determination of a chi-square noncentrality parameter. For many purposes published tables are adequate, but for cases where they are not we provide a graph for approximating the required parameters for up to 300 degrees of freedom and illustrate a straightforward procedure for accurate determination using a widely available SAS function.

Inequalities for Noncentral Chi-square Distributions
Noncentral chi-square distributions play an important role in statistics. They occur for instance as exact or limiting distributions of test statistics under alternatives. To examine the power functions of such tests we come across the problem of comparing distribution functions of noncentral chi-square variables. In this section inequalities are presented, which make such a comparison possible...
متن کاملA test for second order stationarity of a time series based on the Discrete Fourier Transform (Technical Report)
We consider a zero mean discrete time series, and define its discrete Fourier transform at the canonical frequencies. It is well known that the discrete Fourier transform is asymptotically uncorrelated at the canonical frequencies if and if only the time series is second order stationary. Exploiting this important property, we construct a Portmanteau type test statistic for testing stationarity...

متن کاملCentralizing the non-central chi-square: A new method to correct for population stratification in genetic case-control association studies.
We present a new method, the delta-centralization (DC) method, to correct for population stratification (PS) in case-control association studies. DC works well even when there is a lot of confounding due to PS. The latter causes overdispersion in the usual chi-square statistics which then have non-central chi-square distributions. Other methods approach the noncentrality indirectly, but we deal...
متن کاملThe multisample version of the Lepage test
The two-sample Lepage test, devised for testing equality of the location and scale parameters against the alternative that at least for one of the parameters the equality does not hold, is extended to the general case of k > 1 sampled populations. It is shown that its limiting distribution is the chi-square distribution with 2(k — 1) degrees of freedom. This fc-sample statistic is shown to yiel...
