Download or read book Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies written by John W. Green and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the issues relevant to the design, analysis, and interpretation of toxicity studies that examine chemicals for use in the environment Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies offers a guide to the design, analysis, and interpretation of a range of experiments that are used to assess the toxicity of chemicals. While the book highlights ecotoxicity studies, the methods presented are applicable to the broad range of toxicity studies. The text contains myriad datasets (from laboratory and field research) that clearly illustrate the book's topics. The datasets reveal the techniques, pitfalls, and precautions derived from these studies. The text includes information on recently developed methods for the analysis of severity scores and other ordered responses, as well as extensive power studies of competing tests and computer simulation studies of regression models that offer an understanding of the sensitivity (or lack thereof) of various methods and the quality of parameter estimates from regression models. The authors also discuss the regulatory process indicating how test guidelines are developed and review the statistical methodology in current or pending OECD and USEPA ecotoxicity guidelines. This important guide: Offers the information needed for the design and analysis to a wide array of ecotoxicity experiments and to the development of international test guidelines used to assess the toxicity of chemicals Contains a thorough examination of the statistical issues that arise in toxicity studies, especially ecotoxicity Includes an introduction to toxicity experiments and statistical analysis basics Includes programs in R and excel Covers the analysis of continuous and Quantal data, analysis of data as well as Regulatory Issues Presents additional topics (Mesocosm and Microplate experiments, mixtures of chemicals, benchmark dose models, and limit tests) as well as software Written for directors, scientists, regulators, and technicians, Statistical Analysis of Ecotoxicity Studies provides a sound understanding of the technical and practical issues in designing, analyzing, and interpreting toxicity studies to support or challenge chemicals for use in the environment.

This paper demonstrates that many of these techniques can be considered in the light of non-linear regression methods which have been made more tolerable in recent years with the prevalence of high-speed computers.
Download or read book Quantal Response Analysis in the Absence of a Zone of Mixed Results Using Data Augmentation written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantal response analysis is used to estimate the probability of a dichotomous response, e.g., complete penetration, as a function of a stimulus variable. Using maximum likelihood and the DiDonato-Janagin algorithm, estimates of the normal distribution parameters that underlie threshold stimulus levels are obtainable if a zone of mixed results is observed in the test data and if the average success-producing stimulus exceeds the average failure-producing stimulus. In the absence of a zone of mixed results, a method is proposed that utilizes data augmentation to estimate some parameter of interest, e.g., the probability of success at a specific stimulus level. This method generates artificial copies of the original data set of stimuli and responses and then adds a random noise component to each of the stimuli.

Download or read book Quantal Response Equilibrium written by Jacob K. Goeree and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantal Response Equilibrium presents a stochastic theory of games that unites probabilistic choice models developed in psychology and statistics with the Nash equilibrium approach of classical game theory. Nash equilibrium assumes precise and perfect decision making in games, but human behavior is inherently stochastic and people realize that the behavior of others is not perfectly predictable. In contrast, QRE models choice behavior as probabilistic and extends classical game theory into a more realistic and useful framework with broad applications for economics, political science, management, and other social sciences. Quantal Response Equilibrium spans the range from basic theoretical foundations to examples of how the principles yield useful predictions and insights in strategic settings, including voting, bargaining, auctions, public goods provision, and more. The approach provides a natural framework for estimating the effects of behavioral factors like altruism, reciprocity, risk aversion, judgment fallacies, and impatience. New theoretical results push the frontiers of models that include heterogeneity, learning, and well-specified behavioral modifications of rational choice and rational expectations. The empirical relevance of the theory is enhanced by discussion of data from controlled laboratory experiments, along with a detailed users' guide for estimation techniques. Quantal Response Equilibrium makes pioneering game-theoretic methods and interdisciplinary applications available to a wide audience.

Download or read book Applied Statistics written by Lothar Sachs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An English translation now joins the Russian and Spanish versions. It is based on the newly revised fifth edition of the German version of the book. The original edition has become very popular as a learning and reference source with easy to follow recipes and cross references for scientists in fields such as engineering, chemistry and the life sciences. Little mathematical background is required of the reader and some important topics, like the logarithm, are dealt with in the preliminaries preceding chapter one. The usefulness of the book as a reference is enhanced by a number of convenient tables and by references to other tables and methods, both in the text and in the bibliography. The English edition contains more material than the German original. I am most grateful to all who have in conversations, letters or reviews suggested improvements in or criticized earlier editions. Comments and suggestions will continue to be welcome. We are especially grateful to Mrs. Dorothy Aeppli of St. Paul, Minnesota, for providing numerous valuable comments during the preparation of the English manuscript. The author and the translator are responsible for any remaining faults and imperfections. I welcome any suggestions for improvement. My greatest personal gratitude goes to the translator, Mr. Zenon Reynaro wych, whose skills have done much to clarify the text, and to Springer-Verlag.
Download or read book Simultaneous Statistical Inference for Low Dose Risk Estimation with Quantal Data in Benchmark Analysis written by Abdelaziz Alsubie and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessment studies where data are collected to make safe low dose levels of a toxic compound/agent are challenging as dose-response information is constrained to high dose levels of the compound/agent (Piegorsch et al, 2005). Simultaneous hyperbolic bands for low-dose risk estimation with quantal data have been proposed in the literature. The quantal data is de ned as binomial data where the subjects are classi ed by whether or not they display any adverse health e ects. In this thesis, we propose to use three-segment bands instead of the currently used hyperbolic bands to make low dose inferences for quantal data in risk analysis. We will use the three-segment con dence bands to construct simultaneous con dence upper bounds on extra risk and simultaneous con dence lower bounds on the benchmark dose for quantal data. The proposed method is illustrated with a real data application and simulation studies.
Download or read book Statistical Methods in Toxicology written by Ludwig Hothorn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains selected papers from a workshop on modern statistical methods in toxicology held during the EUROTOX '90 conference in Leipzig. The papers deal with the biostatistical evaluation of the commonly used toxicological assays, i.e. mutagenicity, long-term carcinogenicity, embryotoxicity and chronic toxicity assays. The biological background is considered in detail, and most of the related statistical approaches described. In five overview papers, the present state of the art of the related topics is given, while in several contributed papers new approaches are discussed. The most important features are: - A new view on the per-litter analysis problem in em- bryotoxicity assays. - A highly sophisticated treatment of the so-called muta-tox problem in mutagenicity assays. - A detailed discussion of the multiplicity problem based on the closed testing procedure. This volume provides readers with an overview of modern biostatistical methods for several toxicological assays and is in part intended for direct, practical use.
