Adaptive Tests of Significance and Confidence Intervals - Continuing Education - Course
The ASA
Instructor(s): Thomas W. O'Gorman, Northern Illinois University
This session will present several methods of performing adaptive tests of significance and adaptive confidence intervals. For each adaptive test, we will compare its performance to the traditional method and show how to perform the test using a SAS macro. An adaptive test for paired data also will be presented. In addition, we will describe a method of computing adaptive confidence intervals. Attendees should be familiar with basic statistical modeling, including multiple regression and the analysis of variance, at the level of Applied Regression Analysis (1998) by Draper and Smith. RECOMMENDED TEXTBOOK: O'Gorman, T.W. (2003): Applied Adaptive Statistical Methods: Tests of Significance. ASA-SIAM. ISBN 0-89871-553-9.

Course attendees are expected to be familiar with the topic at the level of:
Applied Regression Analysis by Norman R. Draper and Harry Smith, John Wiley & Sons.
