Beside the model, the other input into a regression analysis is some relevant sample data, consisting of the observed values of the dependent and explanatory variables for a sample of members of the ...

This example shows a regression module that calculates statistics not calculated by the two previous examples: /* Regression Routine */ /* Given X, and Y, this fits Y = X B + E */ /* by least squares.

In most applications, regression models are merely useful approximations. Reality is often so complicated that you cannot know what the true model is. You may have to choose a model more on the basis ...

Some of you may have come across a growing number of publications in your field using an alternative paradigm called Bayesian statistics in which to perform their statistical analyses. The goal of ...

Examination of the (sample) residuals resulting from the regression analysis can indicate failures of assumptions 1, 3, and 4. Such failures are not necessarily a bad thing: They can point the way to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Suppose that inference about parameters of interest is to be based on an unbiased estimating function that is U-statistic of degree 1 or 2. We ...

Recent work has demonstrated that some functional categories of the genome contribute disproportionately to the heritability of complex diseases. Here we analyze a broad set of functional elements, ...
