Applications and Extensions of Metric Stability Analysis

open access: yesPsych, 2023
Item response theory models and applications are affected by many sources of variability, including errors associated with item parameter estimation. Metric stability analysis (MSA) is one method to evaluate the effects of item parameter standard errors ...

A New Estimator for Standard Errors with Few Unbalanced Clusters

open access: yesEconometrics, 2022
In linear regression analysis, the estimator of the variance of the estimator of the regression coefficients should take into account the clustered nature of the data, if present, since using the standard textbook formula will in that case lead to a ...

CESER: An R Package to Compute Cluster Estimated Standard Errors

open access: yesJournal of Open Research Software, 2021
This paper presents an implementation in R of the Cluster Estimated Standard Errors (CESE) proposed by [12]. The method estimates the covariance matrix of the estimated coefficients of linear models in grouped data sets with correlation among ...

Integrating Logistic Regression and Geostatistics for User-Oriented and Uncertainty-Informed Accuracy Characterization in Remotely-Sensed Land Cover Change Information

open access: yesISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2016
Accuracy is increasingly recognized as an important dimension in geospatial information and analyses. A strategy well suited for map users who usually have limited information about map lineages is proposed for location-specific characterization of ...

equateIRT: An R Package for IRT Test Equating

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2015
The R package equateIRT implements item response theory (IRT) methods for equating different forms composed of dichotomous items. In particular, the IRT models included are the three-parameter logistic model, the two-parameter logistic model, the one ...

Analytical Errors in End Point Biochemical Assays – Experimental Analysis and Importance [PDF]

open access: yesNational Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2013
Introduction: Accurate and precise laboratory test results help immensely in the diagnosis and management of diseases. Though the analytical phase amounts to the least possible error, yet it is imperative to recognize and minimize the possible ...

Classification of errors in determining trigonometry function values at standard positions

open access: yesJournal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2023
One of the important materials to study in a trigonometry course is the value of trigonometric functions in standard positions. However, the results of preliminary research show that there are still many first semester students who experience errors in ...

A comparison of parameter covariance estimation methods for item response models in an expectation-maximization framework

open access: yesCogent Psychology, 2017
The Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is a method for finding the maximum likelihood estimate of a model in the presence of missing data. Unfortunately, EM does not produce a parameter covariance matrix for standard errors.

Variance models of the last age interval and their impact on life expectancy at subnational scales

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2016
Background: The Chiang method is the most widely accepted standard for estimating life expectancy (LE) at subnational scales; it is the only method that provides an equation for the LE variance.
