In mathematics, the Kuratowski–Ryll-Nardzewski measurable selection theorem is a result from measure theory that gives a sufficient condition for a set-valued function to have a measurable selection function. [1] [2] [3] It is named after the Polish mathematicians Kazimierz Kuratowski and Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski. [4]
For very small samples the multinomial test for goodness of fit, and Fisher's exact test for contingency tables, or even Bayesian hypothesis selection are preferable to the G-test. [2] McDonald recommends to always use an exact test (exact test of goodness-of-fit, Fisher's exact test) if the total sample size is less than 1 000 .
The resulting likelihood function is mathematically similar to the tobit model for censored dependent variables, a connection first drawn by James Heckman in 1974. [2] Heckman also developed a two-step control function approach to estimate this model, [ 3 ] which avoids the computational burden of having to estimate both equations jointly ...
In statistics, a generalized linear model (GLM) is a flexible generalization of ordinary linear regression.The GLM generalizes linear regression by allowing the linear model to be related to the response variable via a link function and by allowing the magnitude of the variance of each measurement to be a function of its predicted value.
A generalized chi-square variable or distribution can be parameterized in two ways. The first is in terms of the weights w i {\displaystyle w_{i}} , the degrees of freedom k i {\displaystyle k_{i}} and non-centralities λ i {\displaystyle \lambda _{i}} of the constituent non-central chi-squares, and the coefficients s {\displaystyle s} and m ...
[1] [2] Regression beta coefficient estimates from the Liang-Zeger GEE are consistent, unbiased, and asymptotically normal even when the working correlation is misspecified, under mild regularity conditions. GEE is higher in efficiency than generalized linear models (GLMs) in the presence of high autocorrelation. [1]
The probability distribution of the sum of two or more independent random variables is the convolution of their individual distributions. The term is motivated by the fact that the probability mass function or probability density function of a sum of independent random variables is the convolution of their corresponding probability mass functions or probability density functions respectively.
In statistics, generalized least squares (GLS) is a method used to estimate the unknown parameters in a linear regression model.It is used when there is a non-zero amount of correlation between the residuals in the regression model.
