PDF pending restorationOlejnik, Stephen F.; Algina, James – 1984
Five distribution-free alternatives to parametric analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) are presented and demonstrated using a specific data example. The procedures considered are those suggested by Quade (1967); Puri and Sen (1969); McSweeney and Porter (1971); Burnett and Barr (1978); and Shirley (1981). The results of simulation studies investigating…

Williams, Janice E. – 1987
A Monte Carlo study was done to determine the adequate sample size for quasi-experimental regression studies, which compare regression lines for two groups and estimate their point of intersection. Populations of 1,000 subjects in each of two groups were constructed (using random normal deviates) to yield equivalent regression lines of opposite…

Lunneborg, Clifford E. – 1983
The wide availability of large amounts of inexpensive computing power has encouraged statisticians to explore many approaches to a basis for inference. This paper presents one such "computer-intensive" approach: the bootstrap of Bradley Efron. This methodology fits between the cases where it is assumed that the form of the distribution…

Tadlock, James; Nesbit, Lamar – 1984
The Jackson Municipal Separate School District, Mississippi, has instituted a mixed-criteria reduction-in-force procedure emphasizing classroom performance to a greater degree than seniority, certification, and staff development participation. The district evaluation process--measuring classroom teaching performance--generated data for the present…

Peer reviewedBeck, E. M.; Tolnay, Stewart E. – Historical Methods, 1995
Asserts that traditional approaches to multivariate analysis, including standard linear regression techniques, ignore the special character of count data. Explicates three suitable alternatives to standard regression techniques, a simple Poisson regression, a modified Poisson regression, and a negative binomial model. (MJP)

Coughlin, Mary Ann; Pagano, Marian – 1997
This monograph covers the theory, application, and interpretation of both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques in institutional research. Each chapter opens with a hypothetical case study, which is used to illustrate the application of one or more statistical procedures to typical research questions. Chapter 2 covers the comparison…
