Distributions You Can Count On …But What’s the Point?

open access: yesEconometrics, 2020
The Poisson regression model remains an important tool in the econometric analysis of count data. In a pioneering contribution to the econometric analysis of such models, Lung-Fei Lee presented a specification test for a Poisson model against a broad ...

Specification tests for the propensity score [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Econometrics, 2019
This paper proposes new nonparametric diagnostic tools to assess the asymptotic validity of different treatment effects estimators that rely on the correct specification of the propensity score. We derive a particular restriction relating the propensity score distribution of treated and control groups, and develop specification tests based upon it. The

A covariance-based test for shared frailty in multivariate lifetime data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We decompose the score statistic for testing for shared finite variance frailty in multivariate lifetime data into marginal and covariance-based terms.

Inference for the Parameters of a Zero-Inflated Poisson Predictive Model

open access: yesRisks
In the insurance sector, Zero-Inflated models are commonly used due to the unique nature of insurance data, which often contain both genuine zeros (meaning no claims made) and potential claims.

Ordinal Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Testing and Nonparametric Analysis of Variance: Competing Methodologies

open access: yesStats, 2022
The Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) and nonparametric analysis of variance (NP ANOVA) methodologies are both sets of tests for categorical response data.

Use of the score test as a goodness-of-fit measure of the covariance structure in genetic analysis of longitudinal data

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2003
Model selection is an essential issue in longitudinal data analysis since many different models have been proposed to fit the covariance structure. The likelihood criterion is commonly used and allows to compare the fit of alternative models.

Scoring the Stroop test

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 1965
The Stroop Test, also known as the color-word naming test, has been used in over sixty published psychological studies since the test was originally described by Stroop (2). The test has been used to attempt to measure a variety of processes and traits in the cognitive and personality domains, which it is not the purpose of this article to review.

Decomposing international gender test score differences

open access: yesJournal for Labour Market Research, 2018
In this paper, we decompose worldwide PISA mathematics and reading scores. While mathematics scores are still tilted towards boys, girls have a larger advantage in reading over boys.

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...

Validating Test Score Interpretations Using Time Information

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
A validity approach is proposed that uses processing times to collect validity evidence for the construct interpretation of test scores. The rationale of the approach is based on current research of processing times and on classical validity approaches ...
