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.
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not since this author's bestselling Manual of Pharmacologic Calculation has there been an available reference for drug data analysis. Incorporating the most relevant parts of that work, Drug Synergism and Dose-Effect Data Analysis focuses on drug combinations and all the quantitative analyses needed to analyze drug combination dose-effect data and to design experiments with two or more compounds. The book contains the statistical methods, the theory, and the computation algorithms needed to analyze single and combination drug data. Numerous examples accompany a presentation that illustrates the calculations and experimental design considerations for modern drug analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inference on the failure probabilities of ordered binomial trials conducted at M differing stress levels is considered. It is shown that a general joint prior may be constructed as a mixture of ordered M variate Dirichlet distributions, which possesses marginals of nearly arbitrary shapes. Posterior marginals at both observational and non-observational stresses are shown to consist of sums of beta distributions. Recursive relationships are developed that permit the rapid and exact computation of the posterior marginal distributions. The model is attractive for use in successive Bayesian analyses.
Download or read book Sequential Quantal Analysis Applications to Simulations written by Mary F. Swinney and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulations on computers are being used more often to model the workings of various systems. These programs can be very costly and time consuming to run. Often multiple runs are required to obtain the necessary amount of information to do analysis. When the outcome of a simulation run is a quantal or binary response, then techniques originally created for medical drug testing can be applied to create a model for the response. In the medical field, it is often desirable to limit the number of test subjects required to determine the toxicity level of a drug and sequential quantal analysis is a technique used to limit this number and still obtain a reasonably good fit for a subjects' response model. A question arose as to whether sequential quantal analysis could be applied to computer simulations in a similar manner to limit the number of computer runs required. This thesis attempts to discover an answer to that question using a simple simulation model with a quantal response, two sequential methods of obtaining data, and four models. The two sequential methods are the Robbins Monro Method and the Up and Down Method. The four models include the probit, logit, pareto, and linear model approximations. All models were fitted and compared to similar models obtained using a standard fixed sample size data set.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Survival data consist of a single event for each population unit, namely, end of life, which is modeled with a life distribution. However, many applications involve repeated-events data, where a unit may accumulate numerous events over time. This applied book provides practitioners with basic nonparametric methods for such data.
