Generalized linear mixed modelIn statistics, a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) is an extension to the generalized linear model (GLM) in which the linear predictor contains random effects in addition to the usual fixed effects. They also inherit from GLMs the idea of extending linear mixed models to non-normal data. GLMMs provide a broad range of models for the analysis of grouped data, since the differences between groups can be modelled as a random effect. These models are useful in the analysis of many kinds of data, including longitudinal data.
Moindres carrés non linéairesLes moindres carrés non linéaires est une forme des moindres carrés adaptée pour l'estimation d'un modèle non linéaire en n paramètres à partir de m observations (m > n). Une façon d'estimer ce genre de problème est de considérer des itérations successives se basant sur une version linéarisée du modèle initial. Méthode des moindres carrés Considérons un jeu de m couples d'observations, (x, y), (x, y),...,(x, y), et une fonction de régression du type y = f (x, β).
Linear least squaresLinear least squares (LLS) is the least squares approximation of linear functions to data. It is a set of formulations for solving statistical problems involved in linear regression, including variants for ordinary (unweighted), weighted, and generalized (correlated) residuals. Numerical methods for linear least squares include inverting the matrix of the normal equations and orthogonal decomposition methods. The three main linear least squares formulations are: Ordinary least squares (OLS) is the most common estimator.
Modèle statistiqueUn modèle statistique est une description mathématique approximative du mécanisme qui a généré les observations, que l'on suppose être un processus stochastique et non un processus déterministe. Il s’exprime généralement à l’aide d’une famille de distributions (ensemble de distributions) et d’hypothèses sur les variables aléatoires X1, . . ., Xn. Chaque membre de la famille est une approximation possible de F : l’inférence consiste donc à déterminer le membre qui s’accorde le mieux avec les données.
Errors-in-variables modelsIn statistics, errors-in-variables models or measurement error models are regression models that account for measurement errors in the independent variables. In contrast, standard regression models assume that those regressors have been measured exactly, or observed without error; as such, those models account only for errors in the dependent variables, or responses. In the case when some regressors have been measured with errors, estimation based on the standard assumption leads to inconsistent estimates, meaning that the parameter estimates do not tend to the true values even in very large samples.
Nonlinear mixed-effects modelNonlinear mixed-effects models constitute a class of statistical models generalizing linear mixed-effects models. Like linear mixed-effects models, they are particularly useful in settings where there are multiple measurements within the same statistical units or when there are dependencies between measurements on related statistical units. Nonlinear mixed-effects models are applied in many fields including medicine, public health, pharmacology, and ecology.
Test statistiqueEn statistiques, un test, ou test d'hypothèse, est une procédure de décision entre deux hypothèses. Il s'agit d'une démarche consistant à rejeter ou à ne pas rejeter une hypothèse statistique, appelée hypothèse nulle, en fonction d'un échantillon de données. Il s'agit de statistique inférentielle : à partir de calculs réalisés sur des données observées, on émet des conclusions sur la population, en leur rattachant des risques d'être erronées. Hypothèse nulle L'hypothèse nulle notée H est celle que l'on considère vraie a priori.
Ordered logitIn statistics, the ordered logit model (also ordered logistic regression or proportional odds model) is an ordinal regression model—that is, a regression model for ordinal dependent variables—first considered by Peter McCullagh. For example, if one question on a survey is to be answered by a choice among "poor", "fair", "good", "very good" and "excellent", and the purpose of the analysis is to see how well that response can be predicted by the responses to other questions, some of which may be quantitative, then ordered logistic regression may be used.
Cluster samplingIn statistics, cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups (known as clusters) and a simple random sample of the groups is selected. The elements in each cluster are then sampled. If all elements in each sampled cluster are sampled, then this is referred to as a "one-stage" cluster sampling plan.
Binomial regressionIn statistics, binomial regression is a regression analysis technique in which the response (often referred to as Y) has a binomial distribution: it is the number of successes in a series of n independent Bernoulli trials, where each trial has probability of success p. In binomial regression, the probability of a success is related to explanatory variables: the corresponding concept in ordinary regression is to relate the mean value of the unobserved response to explanatory variables.
