Statistical Analysis of Cointegrated Vectors

by Soren Johansen - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control , 1988
"... We consider a nonstationary vector autoregressive process which is integrated of order 1, and generated by i.i.d. Gaussian errors. We then derive the maximum likelihood estimator of the space of cointegration vectors and the likelihood ratio test of the hypothesis that it has a given number of dimen ..."

of dimensions. Further we test linear hypotheses about the cointegration vectors. The asymptotic distribution of these test statistics are found and the first is described by a natural multivariate version of the usual test for unit root in an autoregressive process, and the other is a x2 test. 1.

Approximate Statistical Tests for Comparing Supervised Classification Learning Algorithms

by Thomas G. Dietterich , 1998
"... This article reviews five approximate statistical tests for determining whether one learning algorithm outperforms another on a particular learning task. These tests are compared experimentally to determine their probability of incorrectly detecting a difference when no difference exists (type I err ..."

High confidence visual recognition of persons by a test of statistical independence

by John G. Daugman - IEEE TRANS. ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1993
"... A method for rapid visual recognition of personal identity is described, based on the failure of a statistical test of independence. The most unique phenotypic feature visible in a person’s face is the detailed texture of each eye’s iris: An estimate of its statistical complexity in a sample of the ..."

Accurate Methods for the Statistics of Surprise and Coincidence

by Ted Dunning - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1993
"... Much work has been done on the statistical analysis of text. In some cases reported in the literature, inappropriate statistical methods have been used, and statistical significance of results have not been addressed. In particular, asymptotic normality assumptions have often been used unjustifiably ..."

Statistical Comparisons of Classifiers over Multiple Data Sets

by Janez Demsar , 2006
"... While methods for comparing two learning algorithms on a single data set have been scrutinized for quite some time already, the issue of statistical tests for comparisons of more algorithms on multiple data sets, which is even more essential to typical machine learning studies, has been all but igno ..."

Statistical pattern recognition: A review

by Anil K. Jain, Robert P. W. Duin, Jianchang Mao - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... The primary goal of pattern recognition is supervised or unsupervised classification. Among the various frameworks in which pattern recognition has been traditionally formulated, the statistical approach has been most intensively studied and used in practice. More recently, neural network techniques ..."

Detecting Long-Run Abnormal Stock Returns: The Empirical Power and Specification of Test Statistics

by Brad M. Barber, John D. Lyon - Journal of Financial Economics , 1997
"... We analyze the empirical power and specification of test statistics in event studies designed to detect long-run (one- to five-year) abnormal stock returns. We document that test statistics based on abnormal returns calculated using a reference portfolio, such as a market index, are misspecified (em ..."

Semantic similarity based on corpus statistics and lexical taxonomy

by Jay J. Jiang, David W. Conrath - Proc of 10th International Conference on Research in Computational Linguistics, ROCLING’97 , 1997
"... This paper presents a new approach for measuring semantic similarity/distance between words and concepts. It combines a lexical taxonomy structure with corpus statistical information so that the semantic distance between nodes in the semantic space constructed by the taxonomy can be better quantifie ..."

Thresholding of statistical maps in functional neuroimaging using the false discovery rate.

by Christopher R Genovese , Nicole A Lazar , Thomas Nichols - NeuroImage , 2002
"... Finding objective and effective thresholds for voxelwise statistics derived from neuroimaging data has been a long-standing problem. With at least one test performed for every voxel in an image, some correction of the thresholds is needed to control the error rates, but standard procedures for mult ..."

A Bayesian Framework for the Analysis of Microarray Expression Data: Regularized t-Test and Statistical Inferences of Gene Changes

by Pierre Baldi, Anthony D. Long - Bioinformatics , 2001
"... Motivation: DNA microarrays are now capable of providing genome-wide patterns of gene expression across many different conditions. The first level of analysis of these patterns requires determining whether observed differences in expression are significant or not. Current methods are unsatisfactory ..."

with neighboring genes. An additional hyperparameter, inversely related to the number of empirical observations, determines the strength of the background variance. Simulations show that these point estimates, combined with a t-test, provide a systematic inference approach that compares favorably with simple t-test
