Distribution generator for simulator in C++

2000-01-08 Thread Dave and Kim Nulton
I'm writing a simulator in C++. So far I have written a program to collect data from a database and hope to be able to generate an algorithm to return a random value with a distribution that matches my real world data. What I'm finding is that the data is UGLY. In order to generate a reasonable

You only have four cells [(A,B) = {(0,0), (0,1), (1,0), (1,1)}], with only 3 degrees of freedom among them. If you have three significant effects (A, B, and A*B) your strategy in post hoc tests ought to be to simplify the description, not to complicate things further. What you SAY you expect

sounds as though you analyzed it wrong. did you treat it as a factorial design?

an open review process in Statistics journals?

I'd like to hear others' opinions regarding making the review process for submitting papers to journals totally open. In my very limited experiences, I've encountered referees who don't know what they're talking about. They even make silly comments. IMHO, they would think twice before writing a

Diane, Surely. Take a real (finite size, say 1000) sample of product whose mean is 0, standard deviation is 1, ~normally distributed, but discrete values from a 12-bit +-10volt AtoD (resolution = 10/(2^12)). Kevin Hankins [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Bob Hayden <[EMAIL PR

That's how we get "self-fulfilling prophecies"! Actually, many companies are so stingy with their IT investment that some kind of "scare scenario" may have been necessary to get their attention. Seems a shame, but that's life in the corporate world. Managers don't really take their computers serio

Help: Posthoc analysis of 2 factor (2 levels each factor) experiment

2000-01-08 Thread JE
I am trying to figure out how to properly perform a "posthoc" analysis of an experiment in which I exposed subjects to 2 different treatments (drug A and drug B). Treatment A had 2 levels: treatment or no treatment. Treatment B had 2 levels: treatment or no treatment. We hypothesized that A is a t

I don't have a specific application to suggest, and you may already know the paper I'm about to suggest, but for what it's worth, I highly recommend the paper by Diaconis and Sturmfels, (1998) "Algebraic Algorithms for Sampling from Conditional Distributions," Annals of Statistics, v. 26, pp. 363
