Publication Bias in Meta-Analysis: Confidence Intervals for Rosenthal's Fail-Safe Number [PDF]
The purpose of the present paper is to assess the efficacy of confidence intervals for Rosenthal's fail-safe number. Although Rosenthal's estimator is highly used by researchers, its statistical properties are largely unexplored.

Abstract This study uses longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (N = 13,277) to examine the childhood and early adolescence factors that predict weapon involvement in middle adolescence, which in this study is exemplified by having carried or used a weapon.

Robust confidence distributions from proper scoring rules [PDF]
A confidence distribution is a distribution for a parameter of interest based on a parametric statistical model. As such, it serves the same purpose for frequentist statisticians as a posterior distribution for Bayesians, since it allows to reach point estimates, to assess their precision, to set up tests along with measures of evidence, to derive ...

Confidence Sets for a Multivariate Distribution
The confidence sets for a $q$-dimensional distribution studied in this paper have several attractive features: affine invariance, correct asymptotic level whatever the actual distribution may be, numerical feasibility, and a local asymptotic minimax optimality property.

Abstract The past two decades have produced extensive evidence on the manifold and severe outcomes for victims of aggression exposure in the workplace. However, due to the dominating individual‐centered approach, most findings miss a social network perspective.

Heterogeneous bounds of confidence: Meet, Discuss and Find Consensus! [PDF]
Models of continuous opinion dynamics under bounded confidence show a sharp transition between a consensus and a polarization phase at a critical global bound of confidence. In this paper, heterogeneous bounds of confidence are studied. The surprising result is that a society of agents with two different bounds of confidence (open-minded and closed ...

Abstract Positron emission tomography with x‐ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is increasingly being utilized for radiation treatment planning (RTP). Accurate delivery of RT therefore depends on quality PET/CT data. This study covers quality control (QC) procedures required for PET/CT for diagnostic imaging and incremental QC required for RTP.

The interval reliability evaluation method by applying the beta distribution quantile has been proposed in this paper. The comparison between this method and a similar one given in the international standard IEC 61649 has pointed out the possibility of ...

A new distribution-free approach to constructing the confidence region for multiple parameters. [PDF]
Construction of confidence intervals or regions is an important part of statistical inference. The usual approach to constructing a confidence interval for a single parameter or confidence region for two or more parameters requires that the distribution ...

There are many types of skewed distribution, one of which is the lognormal distribution that is positively skewed and may contain true zero values. The coefficient of quartile variation is a statistical tool used to measure the dispersion of skewed and ...
