Confidence Intervals For An Effect Size When Variances Are Not Equal [PDF]
Confidence intervals must be robust in having nominal and actual probability coverage in close agreement. This article examined two ways of computing an effect size in a two-group problem: (a) the classic approach which divides the mean difference by a ...

Can the buck always be passed to the highest level of clustering?
Background Clustering commonly affects the uncertainty of parameter estimates in epidemiological studies. Cluster-robust variance estimates (CRVE) are used to construct confidence intervals that account for single-level clustering, and are easily ...

When the additional sample for the second stage may not be available, one-stage multiple comparisons for exponential median lifetimes with the control under heteroscedasticity including one-sided and two-sided confidence intervals are proposed in this ...

Robust nonparametric inference for the median
We consider the problem of constructing robust nonparametric confidence intervals and tests of hypothesis for the median when the data distribution is unknown and the data may contain a small fraction of contamination.

Same or Different? Comparing the Coverage Rate of Five Different Approaches for Testing the Difference of Two Groups Means [PDF]
testing for statistically significant differences between two group means is one of the most common requirements in psychological research, for example, after an experiment has been conducted.

Optimal Bandwidth Choice for Robust Bias Corrected Inference in Regression Discontinuity Designs
Modern empirical work in Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs often employs local polynomial estimation and inference with a mean square error (MSE) optimal bandwidth choice.

Stacked survival models for residual lifetime data
When modelling the survival distribution of a disease for which the symptomatic progression of the associated condition is insidious, it is not always clear how to measure the failure/censoring times from some true date of disease onset.

Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.
