无重复因析试验中多个散度效应检验的一种改进方法

在无重复因析试验的多个散度效应分析中,常常出现错误识别的现象,即两个显著的散度效应可能在它们的交互列上产生一个错误的散度效应,并且现有的许多方法都存在这样的问题.为了解决这种模棱两可性,McGrath和Lin(2001)提出了一种基于残差样本方差几何平均的检验方法(ML方法),但是这个方法不能应用于零残差样本方差的情形.鉴于此,提出了一种基于修改残差的改进方法,适用于零残差样本方差的情形,并且通过实例验证了方法的合理性.最后,通过模拟和ML方法做了比较.

考虑基因与基因间的交互作用的基因组选择方法研究

综合考虑主基因效应以及基因间的交互效应对植物选育种的作用是基因组选择研究关注的热点问题之一.目前已有的研究大多忽略了基因的交互效应,这主要是由于考虑交互效应会大大增加备选基因的数目,从而导致已有的统计建模方法不稳定.本文将基因效应与基因间的交互效应同时引入模型,提出三步模型构建方法以达到简化计算和提高模型预测精度的目标.第一步,不考虑具体模型,通过距离相关筛除方法删掉与响应变量显著无关的基因;第二步,在剩下的基因中,利用贝叶斯方法筛选可能的基因;第三步,基于选出的基因,同时考虑单基因效应和交互效应,利用惩罚方法选择模型并估计参数.通过模拟计算说明我们提出的方法与已有的一步模型选择方法相比具有计算简单、稳健、运行时间少并且预测精度高等优点.最后,将本文的方法应用于油菜花数据,实证分析表明,我们提出的方法显著地提高花期性状的预测精度.     

Time series modelling of the Singapore population data

Trends in population have important implications for a government in formulating its manpower-related policies. A business may also need to adjust its long-term market strategies according to these trends. This paper analyses the Singapore population data using time series regression model with autoregressive error term. In addition to a linear trend, other regressors included in the model are (i) a seasonal component of period 12 to account for the effect of the auspicious “dragon” years in the Chinese calendar; (ii) level-shift interventions to account for the effect of the government campaigns on family planning. Two methods of estimating the autoregressive parameter are considered: maximum likelihood (ML) and restricted maximum likelihood (REML). For a time series of short or moderate sample length, it is shown in Cheang and Reinsel (2000) that the REML estimator is generally much less biased than the ML estimator. Consequently, the REML approach leads to more accurate inferences for the regression parameters. This paper compares the ML and REML estimation results, and examines the implications for the nature of nonstationarity (deterministic or stochastic trend component) exhibited by the Singapore population data series.

Risk-optimal estimators for survey procedures with certain indirect questions

Surveys usually consist of a list of direct questions. However respondents reluctantly provide direct information on sensitive topics such as socially undesired behavior (e.g., social fraud, discrimination, tax evasion), income or political preferences. For this reason, the diagonal technique (DT), an indirect questioning procedure has been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we consider multiple categorical target variables where all or some of the variables are gathered by the DT. The maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for the joint distribution depends on the setup of the survey procedure, i.e., on certain parameters to adjust. We conduct a decision-theoretic analysis and derive risk-optimal ML estimators. The special point of our investigation is the incorporation of the degree of privacy protection (DPP). In particular, in the class of ML estimators corresponding to a given DPP, we detect an estimator with the lowest risk, i.e., with the highest quality.

Estimation of intrinsic growth factors in a class of stochastic population model

This article discusses the problem of parameter estimation with nonlinear mean-reversion type stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by Brownian motion for population growth model. The estimator in the population model is the climate effects, population policy and environmental circumstances which affect the intrinsic rate of growth r. The consistency and asymptotic distribution of the estimator θ is studied in our general setting. In the calculation method, unlike previous study, since the nonlinear feature of the model, it is difficult to obtain an explicit formula for the estimator. To solve this, some criteria are used to derive an asymptotically consistent estimator. Furthermore Girsanov transformation is used to simplify the equations, which then gives rise to the corresponding convergence of the estimator being with respect to a family of probability measures indexed by the dispersion parameter, while in the literature the existing results have dealt with convergence with respect to a given probability measure.     

Jackknifing in generalized linear models

In a generalized linear model, the jackknife estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be consistent. The corresponding jackknife studentized statistic is asymptotically normal. In addition, these results remain true even if there exist unequal dispersion parameters in the model. On the other hand, the variance estimator and the studentized statistic based on the standard method (substitution and linearization) do not enjoy this robustness property against the presence of unequal dispersion parameters.This research was supported by an Operating Grant from the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada.     

Regularities in data from factorial experiments

This article documents a meta‐analysis of 113 data sets from published factorial experiments. The study quantifies regularities observed among factor effects and multifactor interactions. Such regularities are known to be critical to efficient planning and analysis of experiments and to robust design of engineering systems. Three previously observed properties are analyzed: effect sparsity, hierarchy, and heredity. A new regularity is introduced and shown to be statistically significant. It is shown that a preponderance of active two‐factor interaction effects are synergistic, meaning that when main effects are used to increase the system response, the interaction provides an additional increase and that when main effects are used to decrease the response, the interactions generally counteract the main effects. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
