One of the frequent questions by users of the mixed model function lmer of the lme4 package has been: How can I get p values for the F and t tests for objects returned by lmer? The lmerTest package extends the 'lmerMod' class of the lme4 package, by overloading the anova and summary functions by providing p values for tests for fixed effects. We have implemented the Satterthwaite's method for approximating degrees of freedom for the t and F tests. We have also implemented the construction of Type I - III ANOVA tables. Furthermore, one may also obtain the summary as well as the anova table using the Kenward-Roger approximation for denominator degrees of freedom (based on the KRmodcomp function from the pbkrtest package). Some other convenient mixed model analysis tools such as a step method, that performs backward elimination of nonsignificant effects - both random and fixed, calculation of population means and multiple comparison tests together with plot facilities are provided by the package as well.

Modern Applied Statistics With S

In 1974 an article appeared in Science magazine with the dry-sounding title “Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases” by a pair of psychologists who were not well known outside their discipline of decision theory. In it Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman introduced the world to Prospect Theory, which mapped out how humans actually behave when faced with decisions about gains and losses, in contrast to how economists assumed that people behave. Prospect Theory turned Economics on its head by demonstrating through a series of ingenious experiments that people are much more concerned with losses than they are with gains, and that framing a choice from one perspective or the other will result in decisions that are exactly the opposite of each other, even if the outcomes are monetarily the same. Prospect Theory led cognitive psychology in a new direction that began to uncover other human biases in thinking that are probably not learned but are part of our brain’s wiring.

Extended-connectivity fingerprints (ECFPs) are a novel class of topological fingerprints for molecular characterization. Historically, topological fingerprints were developed for substructure and similarity searching. ECFPs were developed specifically for structure−activity modeling. ECFPs are circular fingerprints with a number of useful qualities: they can be very rapidly calculated; they are not predefined and can represent an essentially infinite number of different molecular features (including stereochemical information); their features represent the presence of particular substructures, allowing easier interpretation of analysis results; and the ECFP algorithm can be tailored to generate different types of circular fingerprints, optimized for different uses. While the use of ECFPs has been widely adopted and validated, a description of their implementation has not previously been presented in the literature.

The measurement of meaning

In this paper we apply a statistical model combining a random coefficient regression model and a latent class regression model. The EM-algorithm is used for maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters in the model and it is pointed out how this leads to a straightforward handling of a number of different variance/covariance restrictions. Finally, the model is used to analyze how consumers' preferences for eight coffee samples relate to sensory characteristics of the coffees. Within this application the analysis corresponds to a model-based version of the so-called external preference mapping.

An application of latent class random coefficient regression

Measurement error modelling is used for investigating the influence of measurement/sampling error on univariate predictions of water content and water-holding capacity (reference measurement) from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxations (instrumental) measured on two gadoid fish species. This is a new way of using the measurement error theory. Reliability ratios illustrate that the models for the two fish species are influenced differently by the error. However, the error seems to influence the predictions of the two reference measures in the same way. The effect of using replicated x-measurements is illustrated by simulated data and by NMR relaxations measured several times on each fish. The standard error of the physical determination of the reference values is lower than the standard error of the NMR measurements. In this case, lower prediction error is obtained by replicating the instrumental measurements. A new general formula is given for how to correct the least squares regression coefficient when a different number of replicated x-measurements is used for prediction than for calibration. It is shown that the correction should be applied when the number of replicates in prediction is less than the number in calibration. This can be relevant for on-line applications and in other situations where it is important to make fast measurements in the prediction phase. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Discrimination and Similarity Testing

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate energy intake (EI) estimated from two nonconsecutive 24-hour recalls (24-HDRs) and a pre-coded seven-day food record (7-dFR) against objective measurements of energy expenditure (EE) in children. Design: A total of 67 7 8 year-olds and 64 12 13 year-olds completed the 2 24-HDRs, the 7-dFR, and wore ActiReg † (PreMed AS, Oslo, Norway), a combined position and motion recording instrument, during the same seven days as the 7-dFR was filled in. Results: In the 7 8 year-olds, EI from the 2 24-HDRs (EI2 24-HDR) was overestimated with 3% compared to EE (not significantly different), while EI from the 7-dFR (EI7-dFR) was underestimated with 7% compared to EE (P 0.001). In the 12 13 year-olds, the corresponding figures was underestimation by 10% with the 2 24-HDRs (PB0.001) and by 20% with the 7-dFR (PB0.001). For both age groups combined, the 95% limits of agreement were 4 38 and 3.52 MJ/d for the 2 24-HDRs, and 5.90 and 2.94 MJ/d for the 7-dFR. Pearson correlation coefficients between EI and EE were 0.51 for EI2 24-HDR and 0.29 for EI7-dFR, respectively. The proportion classified in the same or adjacent quartiles was 76% for EI2 24-HDR and 73% for EI7-dFR in the 7 8 year-olds, and 83% for EI2 24-HDR and 70% for EI7-dFR in the 12 13 year-olds. Conclusion: Misreporting of EI seemed modest with both the 2 24-HDRs and the 7-dFR in the 7 8 year-olds when compared to EE measured with ActiReg † . Under-reporting appeared to be more evident in the 12 13 year-olds, especially with the 7-dFR. Compared to measurements of EE, the 2 24-HDRs seemed to perform slightly better than the 7-dFR in terms of ranking of individuals according to EI.
