During data analysis of menopauses incidence data, new bivariate distribution is discovered. Their marginal, conditional distribution and statistical properties including the inter and partial correlations are explored and utilized to interpret menopauses data. A likelihood ratio hypothesis testing … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2014 · 7,314 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Test for Two-Sample Repeated Measures Designs: Effect of High-Dimensional DataBoonyarit Choopradit, Samruam ChongcharoenProblem statement: High-dimensional repeated measures data are increasingly encountered in various areas of modern science since classical multivariate statistics, e.g,. Hotelling’s T2, are not well defined in the case of high-dimensional data. Approach: In this study, the test statistics with no specific form of covariance matrix for analyzing high-dimensional two-sample repeated measures designs with common equal covariance are proposed.
