Re: Venn diagram program?

2001-08-18 Thread M. T. Chao
I have read some of the venn diagram e-mails recently. If we restrict the sets to be represented by (perfect) circles only, it may happen that for certain situations the circle-only venn diagram does not exist. For 2 sets, the circle-version venn diagram always exists. First you draw 2 circles, w

Dear Marianne,   this example was extracted from LISREL´s manual (Structural Equation Modeling with the SIMPLIS command language) on page 53.   "(...) There are three sets of parameters in the model: (1) the four factor loadings corresponding to the paths from Verbal and Math to the observe

The program I would choose to accomplish this is Visio. There are various versions of this program ranging from a simple drawing package to a version that will accomodate CAD. It is a microsoft product that has made drawing so much easier for those of us who do not wish to struggle with CAD. P

re previous discussion My old computer program MANOVA has a built in test of parallelism in multivariate ANCOVA. It's really standard multivariate regression theory although it isn't widely known. (TW Anderson gave MANOVA and CanR as two different eigenproblems). They are easily shown to be e

While cleaning my office I found a 1973 paper by Golub and Styan which says "the matrix X'X is greatly influenced by roundoff errors and is often ill-conditioned ... An excellent way of solving (the LS equations) is through an orthogonal triangular decomposition of X. At a training session, (w

Hi: I am new to the list and have a question about bootstrap hypothesis testing. I am testing the equality of two means according to Algorithm 16.2 in An Introduction to the Bootstrap by Efron and Tibshirani (1993). They define the estimated ASL as #{t(x*b) >= tobs}/B. It seems to me that this

Let me clarify my previous posting. I want to do a confirmatory factor analysis to validate a questionnaire. There are 45 questions (subjects answer using a 1-5 scale). Theoretically, there are 3 subscales with 15 items on each. In a CFA, that gives me 3 factors, 45 error terms, 14 factor loadin

One approach: (I assume that by "residual" you mean (O-E)/sqrt(E) for each cell of a two-way frequency table, where O=observed frequency and E=expected frequency under the null hypothesis). For the several (or the single) largest residual(s), report O and E as proportions (of total N). Expr
