This paper studies summary measures of the predictive power of a generalized linear model, paying special attention to a generalization of the multiple correlation coefficient f...
A Basis for Analyzing Test-Retest Reliability
Three sources of variation in experimental results for a test are distinguished: trials, persons, and items. Unreliability is defined only in terms of variation over trials. Thi...
Nonparametric estimates of standard error: The jackknife, the bootstrap and other methods
We discuss several nonparametric methods for attaching a standard error to a point estimate: the jackknife, the bootstrap, half-sampling, subsampling, balanced repeated replicat...

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Abstract In lifetesting, medical follow-up, and other fields the observation of the time of occurrence of the event of interest (called a death) may be prevented for some of the...
