Q

What is meant by a parametric method?

A

Assume distributions for X, Y. Test difference in population means by comparing parameters.

Q

What is the Cov[X,Y] in the paired sample t-test?

A

Cov[X,Y] = ρσXσY

25
What does ρ stand for?
The correlation between X and Y
26
What do we look at in a paired smaple t-test?
The differences between each pair
27
What does Di equal?
Di = Xi - Yi
28
What is the 𝔼[Di]?
29
What is the Var[Di]?
30
What distribution do the Di's have?
31
What do we estiamte μX - μY by in the paired sample t-test?
32
Show that the following is an unbiased estimate.
33
What is the variance of the estimate in paired sample t-test?
34
What is the distribution of the estimate in the paired sample t-test?
35
What is the effect of correlation in the paired sample t-test?
Which means Var[Ď] \< Var[Ẍ - Ȳ] (should all be bars), pairing the data and working with difference improves out precision.
36
What is theorem about the paired-sample t test statistic?
37
What is the significance test of the hypothesis and confidence interval for the paired sample t-test?
38
When the assumptions hold are nonparametric methods or parametric methods more powerful?
Parametric
39
What do we focud on in non parametric tests?
Ranking the data
40
What is a general null hypothesis for non parametric independent samples?
No group difference.
41
Define the **rank sum test.**
42
What do you do when you have tied observations in the rank-sum test?
* Rank-sum test requires that ranking is unique * So you assign the average of the tied ranks
43
What two options do we have for the distribtuin for W?
44
What value do the tables of W give?
TL
45
What is TL and TU?
The upper and lower critical values
46
How do you find TU once you have found a value for TL from the W tables?
47
When we have found TL and TU when do we reject H0?
48
What is the theorem about the Normal approximation to W?
49
Prove the following theorem.
50
What is the method for the signed-rank test for paried samples?
51
Define **the signed-rank test.**
52
What is another name for the signed-rank test?
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test
53
How should di = 0 be dealt with in the signed-rank test?
Discard these points and reduce n accoridngly
54
What value of V+ or V- can you get from the table of V values?
The smallest value
55
When do we reject H0 in the signed-rank test for paired samples?
56
What is the theorem about the Normal approximation to V?
57
Prove the following theorem.
