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.

Download or read book Criteria For Selection Of Regressors In Econometrics written by Katari Ashok Chandra and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this present book Chapter-I is an introductory one. Chapter-II describes the various criteria for selection of regressors in the multiple regression analysis existing in this book. Chapter-III deals with the basic stepwise regression procedures for variable selection in multiple regression analysis and The mean square error of prediction criterion has been discussed along with a similar average estimated variance criterion for the selection of variables in the general linear model. Chapter-IV presents the various methods for choosing variable subsets in multiple linear regression analysis under these methods, the mean squared prediction error has been considered as basis of the criteria. Chapter-V proposes some new criteria for selection of regressors in econometrics based on different types of residuals such as Ordinary Least Squares, Studentized and Predicted residuals. Chapter-VI depicts the main conclusions of the present research study. It also narrates the plan for future research as an extension in the lines of study. Several relevant references have been documented under a separate title "BIBLIOGRAPHY."

Download or read book Linear Regression written by David J. Olive and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text covers both multiple linear regression and some experimental design models. The text uses the response plot to visualize the model and to detect outliers, does not assume that the error distribution has a known parametric distribution, develops prediction intervals that work when the error distribution is unknown, suggests bootstrap hypothesis tests that may be useful for inference after variable selection, and develops prediction regions and large sample theory for the multivariate linear regression model that has m response variables. A relationship between multivariate prediction regions and confidence regions provides a simple way to bootstrap confidence regions. These confidence regions often provide a practical method for testing hypotheses. There is also a chapter on generalized linear models and generalized additive models. There are many R functions to produce response and residual plots, to simulate prediction intervals and hypothesis tests, to detect outliers, and to choose response transformations for multiple linear regression or experimental design models. This text is for graduates and undergraduates with a strong mathematical background. The prerequisites for this text are linear algebra and a calculus based course in statistics.

Book A Comparison of Variable Selection Criteria for Multiple Linear Regression  A Second Simulation Study

Download or read book A Comparison of Variable Selection Criteria for Multiple Linear Regression A Second Simulation Study written by David P. Woollard and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis implements a variable selection method proposed by Alan J. Miller, and makes an extension of Ross J. Hansen's 1988 thesis research by comparing the methods he examined: Minimum MSE, Minimum Sp, and Minimum Cp with Miller's method. Response Surface methodology is employed with two performance measures: the percentage of correct variables in a model and the Theoretical Mean Squared Error of Prediction (TMSEP). Each technique is applied on generated data with known multicollinearities, variances, random predictors, and sample sizes. Both performance measures are computed for models selected under each technique. A full factorial design using each performance measure is set up to study the effectiveness of each variable selection technique with respect to the known data characteristics. Equations are generated which relate these data characteristics to each combination of performance measure and selection method. A graphical analysis of variance is performed to summarize each technique's performance. Miller's method is shown to be the best overall technique for selecting models with the highest percentage of correct variables. Minimum MSE, followed closely by Minimum Sp, selected models with the least TMSEP ... Statistics, Regression analysis, Least squares method, Subset selection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Learning Statistics with R" covers the contents of an introductory statistics class, as typically taught to undergraduate psychology students, focusing on the use of the R statistical software and adopting a light, conversational style throughout. The book discusses how to get started in R, and gives an introduction to data manipulation and writing scripts. From a statistical perspective, the book discusses descriptive statistics and graphing first, followed by chapters on probability theory, sampling and estimation, and null hypothesis testing. After introducing the theory, the book covers the analysis of contingency tables, t-tests, ANOVAs and regression. Bayesian statistics are covered at the end of the book.

This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This User’s Guide is a resource for investigators and stakeholders who develop and review observational comparative effectiveness research protocols. It explains how to (1) identify key considerations and best practices for research design; (2) build a protocol based on these standards and best practices; and (3) judge the adequacy and completeness of a protocol. Eleven chapters cover all aspects of research design, including: developing study objectives, defining and refining study questions, addressing the heterogeneity of treatment effect, characterizing exposure, selecting a comparator, defining and measuring outcomes, and identifying optimal data sources. Checklists of guidance and key considerations for protocols are provided at the end of each chapter. The User’s Guide was created by researchers affiliated with AHRQ’s Effective Health Care Program, particularly those who participated in AHRQ’s DEcIDE (Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions About Effectiveness) program. Chapters were subject to multiple internal and external independent reviews. More more information, please consult the Agency website: www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov)
