Hypothesis testing in contingency tables is usually based on asymptotic results, thereby restricting its proper use to large samples. To study these tests in small samples, we consider the likelihood ratio test and define an accurate index, the P-value ...

Power comparison among tests for fractional unit roots [PDF]
This article compares the asymptotic power properties of the Wald, the Lagrange Multiplier and the Likelihood Ratio test for fractional unit roots. The paper shows that there is an asymptotic inequality between the three tests that holds under fixed ...

Searching for new phenomena with profile likelihood ratio tests [PDF]
Likelihood ratio tests are standard statistical tools used in particle physics to perform tests of hypotheses. The null distribution of the likelihood ratio test statistic is often assumed to be χ2, following Wilks’ theorem.

ABSTRACT Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic events prior to age 18 that are known to have a lasting impact on individuals’ health and well‐being. There is a gap in understanding the relationship between ACEs and Other Life Stressors and health status for adults with sickle cell disease (SCD).

Detecting level shifts in the presence of conditional heteroscedasticity. [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to analyze the finite sample performance of two variants of the likelihood ratio test for detecting a level shift in uncorrelated conditionally heteroscedastic time series.

ABSTRACT Children undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation often receive off‐label rituximab treatment for Epstein–Barr virus reactivation, using adult dosing without pediatric evidence. This project aims to develop a clinical decision support tool (CDSS) that provides evidence‐based dosing scenarios by analyzing real‐world patient data.

Power analysis for RNA-Seq differential expression studies
Background Sample size calculation and power estimation are essential components of experimental designs in biomedical research. It is very challenging to estimate power for RNA-Seq differential expression under complex experimental designs.

Lifestyle Behaviors and Cardiotoxic Treatment Risks in Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors
ABSTRACT Background Higher doses of anthracyclines and heart‐relevant radiotherapy increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study assessed CVD and CVD risk factors among adult childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) across cardiotoxic treatment risk groups and examined associations between lifestyle behaviors and treatment risks.

Inflated Kumaraswamy distributions
: The Kumaraswamy distribution is useful for modeling variables whose support is the standard unit interval, i.e., (0, 1). It is not uncommon, however, for the data to contain zeros and/or ones.
