Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
People may be surprised by noticing certain regularities that hold in existing knowledge they have had for some time. That is, they may learn without getting new factual information. We argue that this can be partly explained by computational complexity. We show that, given a database, finding a small set of variables that obtain a certain value of R 2 is computationally hard, in the sense that this term is used in computer science. We discuss some of the implications of this result and of fact-free learning in general.
Confidence Intervals On Subsets May Be Misleading, Juliet Popper Shaffer
Confidence Intervals On Subsets May Be Misleading, Juliet Popper Shaffer
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A combination of hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction is often used in social and behavioral science studies. Sometimes confidence intervals are computed or reported only if a null hypothesis is rejected, perhaps to see whether the range of values is of practical importance. Sometimes they are constructed or reported only if a null hypothesis is accepted, in order to assess the range of plausible nonnull values due to inadequate power to detect them. Even if always computed, they are interpreted differently, depending on whether the null value is or is not included. Furthermore, many studies in which the null …

Monte Carlo Evaluation Of Ordinal D With Improved Confidence Interval, Du Feng, Norman Cliff
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
This article reports a Monte Carlo evaluation of ordinal statistic d with modified confidence intervals (CI) for location comparison of two independent groups under various conditions. Type I error rate, power, and coverage of CI of d were compared to those of the Welch's t-test.

On A Simple Method For Analyzing Multivariate Survival Data Using Sample Survey Methods, Pingfu Fu, J. Sunil Rao
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A simple technique is illustrated for analyzing multivariate survival data. The data situation arises when an individual records multiple survival events, or when individuals recording single survival events are grouped into clusters. Past work has focused on developing new methods to handle such data. Here, we use a connection between Poisson regression and survival modeling and a cluster sampling approach to adjust the variance estimates. The approach requires parametric assumption for the marginal hazard function, but avoids specification of a joint multivariate survival distribution. A simulation study demonstrates the proposed approach is a competing method of recent developed marginal approaches …

The President’S Problem, Jann-Huei Jinn
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
A solution is offered in response to a complex combination problem challenged by Blom, Englund, and Sandell (1998). The problem is to determine the probability that a random permutation of the word BILLCLINTON has no equal neighbors.

Mentoring Doctoral Students: A Personal Perspective, Bruce W. Hall
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
In this brief essay, I reflect on the mentoring process based on advising over thirty doctoral students in measurement, evaluation, and research. There is considerable cause for optimism, and it is among the professors’ highest honor to mentor the doctoral student.

Confidence Elicitation And Anchoring In The Respondent-Generated Intervals (Rgi) Protocol, Liping Chu, S. James Press, Judith M. Tanur
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The Respondent-Generated Intervals protocol (RGI) has been used to have respondents recall the answer to a factual question by giving not only a point estimate but also bounds within which they feel it is almost certain that the true value of the quantity being reported upon falls. The RGI protocol is elaborated in this article with the goal of improving the accuracy of the estimators by introducing cueing mechanisms to direct confident (and thus presumably accurate) respondents to give shorter intervals and less confident (and thus presumably less accurate) respondents to give longer ones.
