Some Critical Information about SOME Statistical Tests and Measures of Correlation/Association
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This information is adapted from and draws heavily on: Sheskin, David J. 2000. Handbook of Parametric and Nonparametric Statistical Procedures. Second Edition. Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton. 982 pp. I strongly recommend that you consult Sheskin for other statistical tests and measures of correlation. This is simply a short, incomplete description of some of the limitations and assumptions for commonly used tests and measures of association. My objective is to show the relationship between what kind of data you collect, how many samples or populations you include, and how the sample was selected (probabilistic or not) and the kinds of statistical tests you can use to analyze your data. Consult a statistician (preferable) or at least a statistics book before you use any statistical procedure. Sheskin provides much more detail about these and many other statistical tests and measures. In short, use this information with great care!!! I am not a statistician.

Dynamic Bayesian Information Measures
This paper introduces measures of information for Bayesian analysis when the support of data distribution is truncated progressively. The focus is on the lifetime distributions where the support is truncated at the current age t>=0. Notions of uncertainty and information are presented and operationalized by Shannon entropy, Kullback-Leibler information, and mutual information. Dynamic updatings...

متن کاملPartial Association Components in Multi-way Contingency Tables and Their Statistiical Analysis
In analyses of contingency tables made up of categorical variables, the study of relationship between the variables is usually the major objective. So far, many association measures and association models have been used to measure the association structure present in the table. Although the association measures merely determine the degree of strength of association between the study varia...

متن کاملInformation Measures via Copula Functions
In applications of differential geometry to problems of parametric inference, the notion of divergence is often used to measure the separation between two parametric densities. Among them, in this paper, we will verify measures such as Kullback-Leibler information, J-divergence, Hellinger distance, -Divergence, … and so on. Properties and results related to distance between probability d...
