Using the "Who am I?" Test to Teach the Logic of Four-Fold Tables

April 1978 · Teaching Sociology

Understanding and appreciation of data analysis can be accelerated if its very first introduction can overcome the inherent threat, and, at the same time, avoid the irrelevance of most oversimple introductory examples. If students fill out and analyze their own "Who am I?" forms, they become involved in an example that is both interesting and manageable. The essential ambiguity of such sentence ...

Students can be taught measurement by categorizing personal statements, and they can examine hypotheses about the interconnectedness of their own attributes and roles.

A Crash Course in Practical Data Analysis

July 2021

Sasha Hafner

Data analysis is essential in engineering research and practice. But the topic is confusing to many, and inaccurate or completely incorrect conclusions, wasted effort, and miserable students are just too common. This short book provides a concise introduction to data analysis from a very practical perspective. In it I try to explain and demonstrate some core concepts of data analysis and also ...

Statistical Regression Modeling with R: Longitudinal and Multi-level Modeling

January 2021

This book provides a concise point of reference for the most commonly used regression methods. It begins with linear and nonlinear regression for normally distributed data, logistic regression for binomially distributed data, and Poisson regression and negative-binomial regression for count data. It then progresses to these regression models that work with longitudinal and multi-level data ... [Show full abstract] structures. The volume is designed to guide the transition from classical to more advanced regression modeling, as well as to contribute to the rapid development of statistics and data science. With data and computing programs available to facilitate readers' learning experience, Statistical Regression Modeling promotes the applications of R in linear, nonlinear, longitudinal and multi-level regression. All included datasets, as well as the associated R program in packages nlme and lme4 for multi-level regression, are detailed in Appendix A. This book will be valuable in graduate courses on applied regression, as well as for practitioners and researchers in the fields of data science, statistical analytics, public health, and related fields.

We consider independent observations Y i ∼F g(x i ·β 0 ) , 1≤i≤n, where F θ , θ∈ℝ, is a family of distributions on ℝ, covariables x i are from a compact set χ⊂ℝ q , the parameter β 0 is from an open subset B⊂ℝ q , and g:ℝ→ℝ is continuous and strictly monotone. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for M-estimators β ^ n which minimize on B the arithmetic means M n (β) of the random ...

Model based period analysis of absolute and relative survival with R: Data preparation, model fittin...

October 2012 · Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine

Period analysis is increasingly employed in analyses of long-term survival of patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, as it derives more up-to-date survival estimates than traditional cohort based approaches. It has recently been extended with regression modelling using generalized linear models, which increases the precision of the survival estimates and enables to assess and account for ... [Show full abstract] effects of additional covariates. This paper provides a detailed presentation how model based period analysis may be used to derive population-based absolute and relative survival estimates using the freely available R language and statistical environment and already available R programs for period analysis. After an introduction of the underlying regression model and a description of the software tools we provide a step-by-step implementation of two regression models in R and illustrate how estimates and a test for trend over time in relative survival may be derived using data from a population based cancer registry.
