Book Conditional Tests for Multivariate One sided Hypotheses with Missing Data

Download or read book Conditional Tests for Multivariate One sided Hypotheses with Missing Data written by Madhurima Majumder and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatment comparisons in randomized clinical trials usually involve several outcomes. Sometimes it is of interest to determine whether there is a treatment-associated improvement in disease status based on multiple outcomes, particularly if a treatment is expected to have the same directional effect on all of the outcomes. This gives rise to a multivariate onesided hypothesis. Under the multivariate normality assumption, Perlman (1969) derived the likelihood-ratio test in the one-sample case; however, its null distribution depends on the unknown covariance matrix and it is biased. Wang and McDermott (1998) derived a conditional likelihood ratio test (CLRT), conditioning on a sufficient statistic for the covariance matrix, resulting in a uniformly more powerful test. Recently, in an unpublished manuscript, Wang extended the CLRT to the two-sample case. This thesis explores the operating characteristics of the two-sample CLRT. In addition, this thesis develops practical extensions of the test such as covariate adjustment, a two-sided version, and outcome specific inference. Since the problem of missing data is ubiquitous in practical applications involving repeated measurements in multiple outcomes, this thesis proposes an observed likelihood-based approach to incorporate such missing data with a missing at random (MAR) mechanism in the CLRT. This thesis also considers the case of comparison of multiple treatments with respect to multiple outcomes and suggests a conditional test based on a statistic suggested by Sasabuchi (2003) for comparing multiple outcomes in K (> 2) samples. Derivation of the conditional test is provided and a resampling method to calculate the p-value is illustrated based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling.

Book Flexible Imputation of Missing Data  Second Edition

Download or read book Flexible Imputation of Missing Data Second Edition written by Stef van Buuren and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-07-17 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missing data pose challenges to real-life data analysis. Simple ad-hoc fixes, like deletion or mean imputation, only work under highly restrictive conditions, which are often not met in practice. Multiple imputation replaces each missing value by multiple plausible values. The variability between these replacements reflects our ignorance of the true (but missing) value. Each of the completed data set is then analyzed by standard methods, and the results are pooled to obtain unbiased estimates with correct confidence intervals. Multiple imputation is a general approach that also inspires novel solutions to old problems by reformulating the task at hand as a missing-data problem. This is the second edition of a popular book on multiple imputation, focused on explaining the application of methods through detailed worked examples using the MICE package as developed by the author. This new edition incorporates the recent developments in this fast-moving field. This class-tested book avoids mathematical and technical details as much as possible: formulas are accompanied by verbal statements that explain the formula in accessible terms. The book sharpens the reader’s intuition on how to think about missing data, and provides all the tools needed to execute a well-grounded quantitative analysis in the presence of missing data.

Book A Multiple Testing Approach to the Multivariate Behrens Fisher Problem

Download or read book A Multiple Testing Approach to the Multivariate Behrens Fisher Problem written by Tejas Desai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​​ ​ In statistics, the Behrens–Fisher problem is the problem of interval estimation and hypothesis testing concerning the difference between the means of two normally distributed populations when the variances of the two populations are not assumed to be equal, based on two independent samples. In his 1935 paper, Fisher outlined an approach to the Behrens-Fisher problem. Since high-speed computers were not available in Fisher’s time, this approach was not implementable and was soon forgotten. Fortunately, now that high-speed computers are available, this approach can easily be implemented using just a desktop or a laptop computer. Furthermore, Fisher’s approach was proposed for univariate samples. But this approach can also be generalized to the multivariate case. In this monograph, we present the solution to the afore-mentioned multivariate generalization of the Behrens-Fisher problem. We start out by presenting a test of multivariate normality, proceed to test(s) of equality of covariance matrices, and end with our solution to the multivariate Behrens-Fisher problem. All methods proposed in this monograph will be include both the randomly-incomplete-data case as well as the complete-data case. Moreover, all methods considered in this monograph will be tested using both simulations and examples. ​
