The fixed effects of the proportion of rainbow trout admixture, sex, fish length (covariates) and spawning year (random effect) on reproductive success (response variable) were evaluated using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) using a natural log - link function with a quasi-Poisson
error distribution (see the electronic supplementary material).
These GEE - GLMs were conducted with the «logit» link and a binomial
error distribution.
These GEE - GLMs used a Gaussian
error distribution with litter as the unit of analysis.
I think any mathematically - competent scientist who believes in objective inference from experimental results would accept that the IPCC replot of Forster / Gregory06 was wrong, in that it did not reflect the (standard)
error distribution assumptions made by the paper's authors.
The PDF has been computed in the same way (apart from the reciprocal relationship) as the climate sensitivity PDF in Figure 2 in the original paper, using the same data and
error distribution assumptions but with a larger number of random samples to improve accuracy.
Missing this step is commonplace as it «normally» doesn't matter as
the error distributions are commonly «normal».
Whereas the correct approach is to determine the relative likelihoods for differing values of S by asking the question: «Given S what is the likelhood of
the error distribution for S *?»
As I read it Figure 2 is
an error distribution for the observable S * and not a distribution for the unobservable parameter of interest S.
Suppose I make a measurement with a Gaussian
error distribution, measurement mean = 500 and SD = 100.
Jeffreys» prior, which in effect converts length elements in 14C space to length elements in calendar age space, may convert single length elements in 14C space to multiple length elements in calendar age space when the same 14C age corresponds to multiple calendar ages, thus over-representing in the posterior distribution the affected parts of the 14C
error distribution probability.
timothy If I understand your question correctly, they will be identical, since the [posterior] pdf for the 14C determined age is identical to its likelihood function (if one uses a uniform in 14C prior, which would be usual with a Gaussian
error distribution).
Nullius in Verba: Suppose I make a measurement with a Gaussian
error distribution, measurement mean = 500 and SD = 100.
For each sampled true calendar age, a 14C determination age is sampled randomly from a Gaussian
error distribution.
More generally, the SRLR method provides less accurate probability matching when
error distributions are neither normal nor a transforms of a normal.
If the modern fraction error is normally distributed, then
the error distribution of the RC age is log normal — since the activity level over time is dictated by the well known «exponential decay» formula and the transform from modern fraction to time is logarithmic.
In Figure 9, the measurement
error distribution is symmetrically bimodal, reflecting the aliasing.
Have these ever been used as
error distributions in the scientific literature?
It is possible to recast an OLS - regression, normal - error - distribution based study in Bayesian terms, but there is generally little point in doing so since the regression model and
error distributions uniquely define the form of the prior distribution appropriate for a Bayesian interpretation.
From the close match to the IPCC's graph (see Figure 5, below) achieved using a normal
error distribution, it is evident that the IPCC made a normality assumption, so that has also been done here.
The Forster / Gregory 06 results were obtained and presented in a form that accurately reflected the characteristics of the data, with error bands and details of
error distribution assumptions, so permitting a valid PDF for S to be computed, and compared with the IPCC's version.
It follows from Forster & Gregory's method and
error distribution assumption that the PDF of Y is symmetrical, and would be normal if a large number of observations existed.
I'm sorry that you didn't like my description as an error of the IPCC's restatement of the Forster / Gregory 06 results using a prior that contradicted the non-informative prior implicit in study's regression model and
error distribution assumptions.
Are any of these D
error distributions at all sensible?
This is proposed as a roundabout way of evaluating the validity of assuming a unfiorm prior distribution in S, without getting tanlged in the Bayesian subjectivity problem (instead we consider the hopefully more well - understood subjectivity concerning
error distributions).
The transformation effected by the IPCC, by recasting Forster / Gregory 06 in Bayesian terms and then restating its results using a prior distribution that is inconsistent with the regression model and
error distributions used in the study, appears unjustifiable.
The problems with ECS distributions most often involve use of inappropriate prior distributions, so that the ECS distribution obtained does not properly reflect
the error distributions of the underlying data.
The difference between iid and LTP, for example, is confined to the covariance matrices of the corresponding
error distribution (the covariance matrix corresponding to iid data is simply an identify matrix multiplied by a scalar variance; for LTP, the off - diagonal elements are non-zero and non-vanishing).
This has nothing to do with autocorrelation in data,
error distributions, or lucia's use of Cochrane - Orcutt.
That's just one example of how you get non-Gaussian
error distribution in the data.
This was not done, despite there having been, since January 1, 2011, at least 14 new studies and 20 experiments (involving more than 45 researchers) examining the ECS, each lowering the best estimate and tightening
the error distribution about that estimate.
This interval is similar to a one - sigma (i.e., one standard deviation) normal
error distribution, but it was explicitly noted that the probability distribution outside this interval was not evaluated and might not have a normal distribution.
[26][27][29][30] They give distribution - free expressions for direct and indirect effects and demonstrate that, despite the arbitrary nature of
the error distributions and the functions f, g, and h, mediated effects can nevertheless be estimated from data using regression.

ACEP's contention that Ghana does not need the second KARPOWER barge, is is not only wrong in logic, we see it as a well calculated

I have said it some years back that as good as the APC is, the only fraught or

There are several reasons for the variation, including whether courts take into account the measurement
error inherent in IQ scores — the fact that an individual, tested repeatedly, would not achieve the same score every time, but rather a
distribution of scores clustered around their «true» IQ.
Typically the JP is only uniform where the estimation is of a simple location parameter, with the measured variable being the parameter (or a linear function thereof) plus an
error whose
distribution is independent of the parameter.

For the LTQ - Orbitrap Velos data, the
