Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

Nonparametric Statistical Tests: A Computational Approach describes classical nonparametric tests as well as novel and little-known methods such as the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler and the Cucconi tests. The book presents SAS and R programs allowing readers to carry out the different statistical methods such as permutation and bootstrap tests. The author considers example data sets in each chapter to illustrate methods. Numerous real-life data from various areas including the bible and their analyses provide for greatly diversified reading. The book covers: Nonparametric two-sample tests for the location-shift model specifically the Fisher-Pitman permutation test the Wilcoxon rank sum test and the Baumgartner-Weiss-Schindler test Permutation tests location-scale tests tests for the nonparametric Behrens-Fisher problem and tests for a difference in variability Tests for the general alternative including the (Kolmogorov-)Smirnov test ordered categorical and discrete numerical data Well-known one-sample tests such as the sign test and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test a modification suggested by Pratt (1959) a permutation test with original observations and a one-sample bootstrap test are presented. Tests for more than two groups the following tests are described in detail: the Kruskal-Wallis test the permutation F test the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test tests for umbrella alternatives and the Friedman and Page tests for multiple dependent groups The concepts of independence and correlation and stratified tests such as the van Elteren test and combination tests The applicability of computer-intensive methods such as bootstrap and permutation tests for non-standard situations and complex designs Although the major development of nonparametric methods came to a certain end in the 1970s their importance undoubtedly persists. What is still needed is a computer assisted evaluation of their main properties. This book closes that gap. | Nonparametric Statistical Tests A Computational Approach

Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Cobalamin (vitamin B12) was discovered in the first half of the 20th century. Vast amount of information on the role of the vitamins in human health and disease became available. Cobalamin science was however based on theoretical concepts that have been accepted without further proof of facts and hypotheses. Recently the breath-taking pace of development in research technologies has changed our understanding for the role of nutrients and the complex interaction between diet environment and diseases. Conditions like aging diet and drugs increase the risk of developing cobalamin deficiency probably because of diminished ability to liberate absorb or distribute the food-derived vitamin. From a basic science point of view understanding of the transport and function of the vitamin may pave the road for using this system for drug delivery. This book represents up-to-date literature on the discoveries and developments in the field of cobalamin. It includes multifaceted aspects of the vitamin in health and disease conditions. The book has been written by leading scientists who have significant contributions in this field and represents therefore a timely unique encyclopaedia on cobalamin. | Vitamin B12 Advances and Insights

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Statistical Power Analysis explains the key concepts in statistical power analysis and illustrates their application in both tests of traditional null hypotheses (that treatments or interventions have no effect in the population) and in tests of the minimum-effect hypotheses (that the population effects of treatments or interventions are so small that they can be safely treated as unimportant). It provides readers with the tools to understand and perform power analyses for virtually all the statistical methods used in the social and behavioral sciences. Brett Myors and Kevin Murphy apply the latest approaches of power analysis to both null hypothesis and minimum-effect testing using the same basic unified model. This book starts with a review of the key concepts that underly statistical power. It goes on to show how to perform and interpret power analyses and the ways to use them to diagnose and plan research. We discuss the uses of power analysis in correlation and regression in the analysis of experimental data and in multilevel studies. This edition includes new material and new power software. The programs used for power analysis in this book have been re-written in R a language that is widely used and freely available. The authors include R codes for all programs and we have also provided a web-based app that allows users who are not comfortable with R to perform a wide range of analyses using any computer or device that provides access to the web. Statistical Power Analysis helps readers design studies diagnose existing studies and understand why hypothesis tests come out the way they do. The fifth edition includes updates to all chapters to accommodate the most current scholarship as well as recalculations of all examples. This book is intended for graduate students and faculty in the behavioral and social sciences; researchers in other fields will find the concepts and methods laid out here valuable and applicable to studies in many domains. | Statistical Power Analysis A Simple and General Model for Traditional and Modern Hypothesis Tests Fifth Edition

Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

The book comprises two parts: Pressure and Flow Well Testing (Part I) and Temperature Well Testing (Part II) and contains numerous authors’ developments. Due to the similarity in Darcy’s and Fourier’s laws the same differential diffusivity equation describes the transient flow of incompressible fluid in porous medium and heat conduction in solids. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that the techniques and data processing procedures of pressure well tests can be applied to temperature well tests. The book presents new methods to determine the formation of permeability and skin factors from tests conducted in simulated wells designing interference well tests processing constant bottom-hole pressure tests estimation of the formation temperature and geothermal gradients from temperature surveys and logs in-situ determination of the formation thermal conductivity and contact thermal resistance of boreholes temperature regime of boreholes (cementing of production liners) and the recovery of thermal equilibrium in deep and superdeep wells. Processing and analysis of pressure and geothermal data are shown on numerous field examples from different regions of the world. The book is intended for students engineers and researchers in the field of hydrocarbon geophysics and geology groundwater searching and exploitation and subsurface environment examination. It will be also useful for specialists studying pressure and temperature in parametric deep and superdeep wells. | Pressure and Temperature Well Testing

Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Statistical Methods: An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis Second Edition is a textbook designed for students with no prior training in statistics. It provides a solid background of the core statistical concepts taught in most introductory statistics textbooks. Mathematical proofs are deemphasized in favor of careful explanations of statistical constructs. The text begins with coverage of descriptive statistics such as measures of central tendency and variability then moves on to inferential statistics. Transitional chapters on z-scores probability and sampling distributions pave the way to understanding the logic of hypothesis testing and the inferential tests that follow. Hypothesis testing is taught through a four-step process. These same four steps are used throughout the text for the other statistical tests presented including t tests one- and two-way ANOVAs chi-square and correlation. A chapter on nonparametric tests is also provided as an alternative when the requirements cannot be met for parametric tests. Because the same logical framework and sequential steps are used throughout the text a consistency is provided that allows students to gradually master the concepts. Their learning is enhanced further with the inclusion of thought questions and practice problems integrated throughout the chapters. New to the second edition: Chapters on factorial analysis of variance and non-parametric techniques for all data Additional and updated chapter exercises for students to test and demonstrate their learning Full instructor resources: test bank questions Powerpoint slides and an Instructor Manual | Statistical Methods An Introduction to Basic Statistical Concepts and Analysis

Statistical Thinking in Clinical Trials

Statistical Thinking in Clinical Trials

Statistical Thinking in Clinical Trials combines a relatively small number of key statistical principles and several instructive clinical trials to gently guide the reader through the statistical thinking needed in clinical trials. Randomization is the cornerstone of clinical trials and randomization-based inference is the cornerstone of this book. Read this book to learn the elegance and simplicity of re-randomization tests as the basis for statistical inference (the analyze as you randomize principle) and see how re-randomization tests can save a trial that required an unplanned mid-course design change. Other principles enable the reader to quickly and confidently check calculations without relying on computer programs. The `EZ’ principle says that a single sample size formula can be applied to a multitude of statistical tests. The `O minus E except after V’ principle provides a simple estimator of the log odds ratio that is ideally suited for stratified analysis with a binary outcome. The same principle can be used to estimate the log hazard ratio and facilitate stratified analysis in a survival setting. Learn these and other simple techniques that will make you an invaluable clinical trial statistician.
