Combining Methods in Supervised Classification: a Comparative Study on Discrete and Continuous Problems

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2006
Often in discriminant analysis several models are estimated but based on some validation criterion, a single model is selected. In the purpose of taking profit from several potential models, classification rules combining models are considered in this ...

The Best Fit Bayesian Hierarchical Generalized Linear Model Selection Using Information Complexity Criteria in the MCMC Approach

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics
Both frequentist and Bayesian statistics schools have improved statistical tools and model choices for the collected data or measurements. Model selection approaches have advanced due to the difficulty of comparing complicated hierarchical models in ...

Impact of communities, health, and emotional-related factors on smoking use: comparison of joint modeling of mean and dispersion and Bayes’ hierarchical models on add health survey

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2017
Background The analysis of correlated binary data is commonly addressed through the use of conditional models with random effects included in the systematic component as opposed to generalized estimating equations (GEE) models that addressed the random ...

Hierarchical Bayesian models for the estimation of unemployment rates in small domains of the italian labour force survey

open access: yesStatistica, 2007
In this paper we introduce shrinkage estimators for the estimation of the Unemployment rate in small domains of the Italian Labour Force Survey. The proposed estimators are based on Hierarchical Linear Mixed Models and on the borrowing strength on both ...

Suppressor variables and multilevel mixture modelling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A major issue in educational research involves taking into consideration the multilevel nature of the data. Since the late 1980s, attempts have been made to model social science data that conform to a nested structure.

A Framework to Interpret Nonstandard Log-Linear Models

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2016
The formulation of log-linear models within the framework of Generalized Linear Models offers new possibilities in modeling categorical data. The resulting models are not restricted to the analysis of contingency tables in terms of ordinary hierarchical ...

An introduction to hierarchical linear modeling [PDF]

open access: yesTutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 2012
This tutorial aims to introduce Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM). A simple explanation of HLM is provided that describes when to use this statistical technique and identifies key factors to consider before conducting this analysis. The first section of

Within and Between Group Variation of Individual Strategies in Common Pool Resources: Evidence from Field Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes
With data from framed common pool resource experiments conducted with artisanal fishing communities in Colombia, we estimate a hierarchical linear model to investigate within-group and between-group variation in individual harvest strategies across ...
