These two authors take differ-ent approaches to generalizing and improving the proof of the theorem in Griffiths and Hill (2022). Professor Christensen’s geometric approach, and Professor Harville’s meticulous matrix algebra approach, are suitable for graduate courses in linear models for statisticians in various fields. We believe that there is pedagogic value in discussing the tradeoff between the non-CONTACT centrality parameter and the numerator degrees of freedom in the F -test, and how this affects the power of the F -test. However, just to be clear, we are not advocating adding true hypotheses as a strategy. Professor Christensen’s first sentence may be taken by some to imply that.

The mixture model accounts for the fact that not all the patients in the treated group will respond to the treatment and consequently their responses follow the same distribution as the responses from untreated patients. The treatment effect in this context consists of both the fraction of the treated patients that are responders and the magnitude of the shift in the distribution for the responders. In this article, we investigate asymptotic properties of method of moment estimators for the treatment effect based on a semi-supervised two-component mixture model. From these properties, we develop asymptotic confidence intervals and demonstrate their superior statistical inference performance compared to the computationally intensive bootstrap intervals and their Bias-Corrected versions.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134014237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Support intervals are obtained from inverting Bayes factors based on a parameter estimate and its standard error. A $k$ support interval can be interpreted as\"the observed data are at least $k$ times more likely under the included parameter values than under a specified alternative\". Support intervals depend on the specification of prior distributions for the parameter under the alternative, and we present several types that allow different forms of external knowledge to be encoded. We also show how prior specification can to some extent be avoided by considering a class of prior distributions and then computing so-called minimum support intervals which, for a given class of priors, have a one-to-one mapping with confidence intervals. We also illustrate how the sample size of a future study can be determined based on the concept of support. Finally, we show how the bound for the type I error rate of Bayes factors leads to a bound for the coverage of support intervals. An application to data from a clinical trial illustrates how support intervals can lead to inferences that are both intuitive and informative.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127449032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is a large body of literature coping with the univariate case. Yet, the ongoing technological progress in measuring biological systems raises the need for addressing more complex data, e.g., graphs, strings and probability distributions, among others. In order to fill this gap, this paper proposes new estimators of the maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) to handle complex matched pairs with missing data. These estimators can detect differences in data distributions under different missingness mechanisms. The validity of this approach is proven and further studied in an extensive simulation study, and results of statistical consistency are provided. Data from continuous glucose monitoring in a longitudinal population-based diabetes study are used to illustrate the application of this approach. By employing the new distributional representations together with cluster analysis, new clinical criteria on how glucose changes vary at the distributional level over five years can be explored.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126181615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Students are shown examples in which the dendrogram, a visual representation of the hierarchical clustering, reveals a clear clustering structure. However, in practice, data analysts today frequently encounter datasets whose large scale undermines the usefulness of the dendrogram as a visualization tool. Densely packed branches obscure structure, and overlapping labels are impossible to read. In this article we present a new workflow for performing hierarchical clustering via the R package called protoshiny that aims to restore hierarchical clustering to its former role of being an effective and versatile visualization tool. Our proposal leverages interactivity combined with the ability to label internal nodes in a dendrogram with a representative data point (called a prototype). After presenting the workflow, we provide three case studies to demonstrate its utility.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"296 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134092931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A relatively recent variant of this paradox states that, while in a two-children family for which at least one child is a girl, the probability that the other child is a boy is 2 / 3, this probability becomes 1 / 2 if the first name of the girl is disclosed (provided that two sisters may not be given the same first name). We revisit this variant of the problem and show that, if one adopts a natural model for the way first names are given to girls, then the probability that the other child is a boy may take any value in ]0 , 2 / 3[. By exploiting the concept of Schur-concavity, we study how this probability depends on model parameters.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131249882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since variance minimization doesn’t depend on normality and unbiasedness is often considered reasonable, many statisticians have felt that BLUE’s ought to preform relatively well in some generality. The result here considers the general linear model and shows that any measurable estimator that is unbiased over a moderately large family of distributions must be linear. Thus, imposing unbiasedness cannot offer any improvement over imposing linearity. The problem was suggested by Hansen, who showed that any estimator unbiased for nearly all error distributions (with finite covariance) must have a variance no smaller than that of the best linear estimator in some parametric subfamily. Specifically, the hypothesis of linearity can be dropped from the classical Gauss–Markov Theorem. This might suggest that the best unbiased estimator should provide superior performance, but the result here shows that the best unbiased regression estimator can be no better than the best linear estimator.","PeriodicalId":342642,"journal":{"name":"The American Statistician","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124752743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
