This book was released on 2021 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The minimum distance projection of a given matrix $X \in R^{pxq}$ onto the order restricted cone in an appropriately defined inner product system, $\pi(X|C_{pxq}),$ plays an important role in order restricted statistical inference since in many cases the restricted maximum likelihood estimator (RMLE) for a parameter matrix under an order restriction is the projection of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) without any restrictions onto the order restricted cone. The RMLE plays an important part in the maximum likelihood ratio tests. The computation for $\pi(X|_{pxq}),$ however is currently a great challenge to researchers. It is known that the order relation $\preceq$ in $R^p$ is a multivariate order relation if and only if it is generated from a closed convex cone $C \in R^p$, called an order generating cone. The collection of all matrices $\mu = (\mu_1,...,\mu_q) \in R^{pxq}$ whose columns satisfy the multivariate order restriction $\mu i \preceq \mu i$ for all $(i, j)$ in a specified set $H \subset$ {1,...,q} x {1,...,q} is a closed convex cone $C_{pxq}$ in $R^{pxq}$ called an order restricted cone. For $C_{pxq}$ created by multivariate simpletree order restriction and a given matrix $X \in R^{pxq}$, in this dissertation, a closed convex subset $D(X)_{pxq} \subset C_{pxq}$ is defined. The projection of X onto this subset, $\pi(X|D(X0_{pxq})$, is studied. In addition, an algorithm for computing $\pi(X|D(X)_{pxq})$ is proposed and proved. The proposed algorithm for $\pi(X|D(X)_{pxq})$ only depends on projections of vectors onto the order generating cone. Thus, it converts the relatively difficult matrix projection problem to a much easier vector projection problems. It is also revealed that when q = 2, $\pi(X|D(X)_{pxq}) = \pi(X|C_{pxq})$ and if $X \in C_{pxq}$, $\pi(X|D(X)_{pxq}) = \pi(X|C_{pxq})$. With all these good properties we could treat the projection onto $D(X)_{pxq}$ as the approximation of the projection onto $C_{pxq}.

Abstract: Motivated by problems in medicine, biology, engineering and economics, con- strained parameter problems arise in a wide variety of applications. Among them the application to the dose-response of a certain drug in development has attracted much interest. To investigate such a relationship, we often need to conduct a dose- response experiment with multiple groups associated with multiple dose levels of the drug. The dose-response relationship can be modeled by a shape-restricted normal regression. We develop an iterative two-step ascent algorithm to estimate normal means and variances subject to simultaneous constraints. Each iteration consists of two parts: an expectation{maximization (EM) algorithm that is utilized in Step 1 to compute the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the restricted means when variances are given, and a newly developed restricted De Pierro algorithm that is used in Step 2 to find the MLEs of the restricted variances when means are given. These constraints include the simple order, tree order, umbrella order, and so on. A bootstrap approach is provided to calculate standard errors of the restricted MLEs. Applications to the analysis of two real datasets on radioim-munological assay of cortisol and bioassay of peptides are presented to illustrate the proposed methods. Liu (2000) discussed the maximum likelihood estimation and Bayesian estimation in a multinomial model with simplex constraints by formulating this constrained parameter problem into an unconstrained parameter problem in the framework of missing data. To utilize the EM and data augmentation (DA) algorithms, he introduced latent variables {Zil;Yil} (to be defined later). However, the proposed DA algorithm in his paper did not provide the necessary individual conditional distributions of Yil given (the observed data and) the updated parameter estimates. Indeed, the EM algorithm developed in his paper is based on the assumption that{ Yil} are fixed given values. Fortunately, the EM algorithm is invariant under any choice of the value of Yil, so the final result is always correct. We have derived the aforesaid conditional distributions and hence provide a valid DA algorithm. A real data set is used for illustration.

Download or read book A Comparison of Restricted Maximum Likelihood and Method of Moments Variance Estimation for Small sample Split plot Experiments written by Xuan Xu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers may choose to perform an experiment using a split-plot design over more simple designs such as a completely randomized design or a randomized complete block design in order to conserve scarce resources. A split-plot becomes attractive when some treatment factors are more costly to apply to the experimental units or when it is difficult to change one factor from level to level. In such a case it may be more efficient to apply these costly treatments to a small set of larger experimental units (i.e. whole plots) and then apply the less costly treatments to more numerous smaller experimental units (i.e. subplots) nested within the larger ones. Because the subplot and whole-plot experimental units each have a corresponding variance component, the analysis of a split-plot study is more complicated. Making the split-plot analysis even more challenging, cost considerations may also lead to relatively small sample sizes for the whole-plot treatments. An unintended consequence is that some variance components in the split-plot design's model may be poorly estimated which in turn may have an unanticipated effect on the type I error rates for tests of the fixed effects. As a motivating example, alfalfa yield data from a field study with a split-plot design with four randomized complete blocks at the whole-plot level serves as the basis for a simulation study to estimate the type I error rates of three fixed effects (whole-plot main effects, subplot main effects and whole-plot by subplot interaction). Several other scenarios where the number of blocks and the relative magnitudes of the variance components are varied are also explored. For each scenario, 10,000 data sets were randomly generated assuming normally distributed errors. Two linear mixed models were fit to each data set using the MIXED procedure in SAS; one method estimates the variance components via restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and the other by the method of moments (MoM) based on the type III sums of squares. The REML models yielded inconsistent type I error rates for some tests of fixed effects compared to the MoM models but improved as the number of blocks increased. MoM models tended to hold their nominal type I error rates to within expected Monte Carlo error.
Download or read book Modeling Ordered Choices written by William H. Greene and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is increasingly common for analysts to seek out the opinions of individuals and organizations using attitudinal scales such as degree of satisfaction or importance attached to an issue. Examples include levels of obesity, seriousness of a health condition, attitudes towards service levels, opinions on products, voting intentions, and the degree of clarity of contracts. Ordered choice models provide a relevant methodology for capturing the sources of influence that explain the choice made amongst a set of ordered alternatives. The methods have evolved to a level of sophistication that can allow for heterogeneity in the threshold parameters, in the explanatory variables (through random parameters), and in the decomposition of the residual variance. This book brings together contributions in ordered choice modeling from a number of disciplines, synthesizing developments over the last fifty years, and suggests useful extensions to account for the wide range of sources of influence on choice.
