Background The student costs of residency interviewing are of increasing concern but limited current information is available. Updated, more detailed information would assist students and residency programs in decisions about residency selection. The study objective was to measure the expenses and time spent in residency interviewing by the 2016 graduating class of the University of Kansas Scho...

This article presents a Bayesian hypothesis test for analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs. The test is an application of standard Bayesian methods for variable selection in regression models. We illustrate the effect of various g-priors on the ANOVA hypothesis test. The Bayesian test for ANOVA designs is useful for empirical researchers and for students; both groups will get a more acute apprec...

Smoothing Spline ANOVA is a statistical modeling algorithm based on a function decomposition similar to the classical analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition and the associated notions of main effect and interaction. It represents a suitable screening technique for detecting important variables (Variable Screening) in a given dataset. We present the mathematical background together with poss...

MOTIVATION Several statistical tests are available to detect the enrichment of differential expression in gene sets. Such tests were originally proposed for analyzing gene sets associated with biological processes. The objective evaluation of tests on real measurements has not been possible as it is difficult to decide a priori, which processes will be affected in given experiments. RESULTS W...

• Although relatively robust to the following, ANOVA assumes • Normal distribution of residuals • Variation in each group is similar • ANOVA is sensitive to outliers, and transforms of the data may be necessary • ANOVA is a test of group differences: do at least two of the means differ from each other? • Two-way ANOVA tests a number of sources of variability • It is important to know which sour...
