JSM 2005 - Toronto

Abstract #303089

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.



The views expressed here are those of the individual authors
and not necessarily those of the ASA or its board, officers, or staff.


The Program has labeled the meeting rooms with "letters" preceding the name of the room, designating in which facility the room is located:

Minneapolis Convention Center = “MCC” Hilton Minneapolis Hotel = “H” Hyatt Regency Minneapolis = “HY”

Abstract:

Six motion correction measurements (three axis measurements: "IS," "RL," and "AP" and three angle measurements: "roll," "pitch," and "yaw") were used to compare head movements between disruptive behavior disorder (DBD) children and normal children during fMRI scans in both resting and tasking states. A simple and conventional method was to compare sample standard deviations of each measurement. This method, however, ignored that the measurements were correlated and the variation of the observed measurements changed over time. We developed a multilevel hierarchical Bayesian model to incorporate the properties of motion correction data in the study. The estimation of unknown parameters was carried out by the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method.
