McGuire, Michael Patrick – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Spatial or temporal data mining tasks are performed in the context of the relevant space, defined by a spatial neighborhood, and the relevant time period, defined by a specific time interval. Furthermore, when mining large spatio-temporal datasets, interesting patterns typically emerge where the dataset is most dynamic. This dissertation is…

Brooks, Gordon P.; Barcikowski, Robert S.; Robey, Randall R. – 1999
The meaningful investigation of many problems in statistics can be solved through Monte Carlo methods. Monte Carlo studies can help solve problems that are mathematically intractable through the analysis of random samples from populations whose characteristics are known to the researcher. Using Monte Carlo simulation, the values of a statistic are…

McCarroll, David; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
Monte Carlo simulations were used to examine three cases using analyses of variance (ANOVAs) sequentially. Simulation results show that Type I error rates increase when using ANOVAs in this sequential fashion, and the detrimental effect is greatest in situations in which researchers would most likely use ANOVAs sequentially. (SLD)

Hu, Ming-xiu; Salvucci, Sameena – 2001
Many imputation techniques and imputation software packages have been developed over the years to deal with missing data. Different methods may work well under different circumstances, and it is advisable to conduct a sensitivity analysis when choosing an imputation method for a particular survey. This study reviewed about 30 imputation methods…

Buja, Andreas; Eyuboglu, Nermin – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
Use of parallel analysis (PA), a selection rule for the number-of-factors problem, is investigated from the viewpoint of permutation assessment through a Monte Carlo simulation. Results reveal advantages and limitations of PA. Tables of sample eigenvalues are included. (SLD)

Harwell, Michael R. – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1992
A methodological framework is provided for quantitatively integrating Type I error rates and power values for Monte Carlo studies. An example is given using Monte Carlo studies of a test of equality of variances, and the importance of relating metanalytic results to exact statistical theory is emphasized. (SLD)

Nandakumar, Ratna; Stout, William – Journal of Educational Statistics, 1993
A detailed investigation is provided of Stout's statistical procedure (the computer program DIMTEST) for testing the hypothesis that an essentially unidimensional latent trait model fits observed binary item response data from a psychological test. Three refinements achieve greater power. The revised approach is validated using real data sets.…

Caulkins, Jonathan P. – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2002
In this article, the author discusses the use in policy analysis of models that incorporate uncertainty. He believes that all models should consider incorporating uncertainty, but that at the same time it is important to understand that sampling variability is not usually the dominant driver of uncertainty in policy analyses. He also argues that…
