Abstract:
|
The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) has been used widely in many fields of research. For a single-sample problem, the inference theory concerning an ICC has been well-developed. In real life, researchers often collect information on familial aggregation in multiple samples. Therefore, we often need to make inference concerning ICC from several samples. This talk will present a novel approach for the confidence interval estimation of a common ICC derived from several samples under unequal family sizes. The proposed approach is developed using the concept of generalized pivots. Comparisons are made with a large sample procedure on the coverage probabilities.
