A Pragmatic Approach to Statistical Testing and Estimation (PASTE)

open access: yesHealth Professions Education, 2018
The p-value has dominated research in education and related fields and a statistically non-significant p-value is quite commonly interpreted as ‘confirming’ the null hypothesis (H0) of ‘equivalence’.

Model Selection Procedures in Bounds Test of Cointegration: Theoretical Comparison and Empirical Evidence

open access: yesEconomies, 2020
Only unstructured single-path model selection techniques, i.e., Information Criteria, are used by Bounds test of cointegration for model selection.

Model Selection Principles in Misspecified Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Model selection is of fundamental importance to high dimensional modeling featured in many contemporary applications. Classical principles of model selection include the Kullback-Leibler divergence principle and the Bayesian principle, which lead to the ...

A note on identification constraints and information criteria in Bayesian latent variable models

open access: yesBehavior Research Methods, 2021
It is well known that, in traditional SEM applications, a scale must be set for each latent variable: typically, either the latent variance or a factor loading is fixed to one. While this has no impact on the fit metrics in ML estimation, it can potentially lead to varying Bayesian model comparison metrics due to the use of different prior ...

Optimal designs for nonlinear regression models with respect to non-informative priors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In nonlinear regression models the Fisher information depends on the parameters of the model. Consequently, optimal designs maximizing some functional of the information matrix cannot be implemented directly but require some preliminary knowledge about ...

ON THE COMPARISON OF BAYESIAN INFORMATION CRITERION AND DRAPER'S INFORMATION CRITERION IN SELECTION OF AN ASYMMETRIC PRICE RELATIONSHIP: BOOTSTRAP SIMULATION RESULTS [PDF]

open access: yesRussian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2013
Alternative formulations of the Bayesian Information Criteria provide a basis for choosing between competing methods for detecting price asymmetry. However, very little is understood about their performance in the asymmetric price transmission modelling ...

The Connection between Bayesian Inference and Information Theory for Model Selection, Information Gain and Experimental Design

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
We show a link between Bayesian inference and information theory that is useful for model selection, assessment of information entropy and experimental design.

Model selection with multiple regression on distance matrices leads to incorrect inferences. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
In landscape genetics, model selection procedures based on Information Theoretic and Bayesian principles have been used with multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) to test the relationship between multiple vectors of pairwise genetic, geographic,

The Legitimacy of Admission Criteria in Predicting the Achievement of the Students in the Medical Colleges at the University of Hafr Al-Batin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Analysis and Applications, 2023
The purpose of this study is to show how the admission criteria can predict first-year college students’ performance. The study uses the data of the students’ high school GPA (HSGPA) and the scores of the Prerequirement standardized tests in the Kingdom ...

Extended Bayesian information criteria for model selection with large model spaces [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrika, 2008
SUMMARY The ordinary Bayesian information criterion is too liberal for model selection when the model space is large. In this paper, we re-examine the Bayesian paradigm for model selection and propose an extended family of Bayesian information criteria, which take into account both the number of unknown parameters and the complexity of the model space.
