Confidence interval vs prediction interval

Confidence intervals tell you about how well you have determined the mean E(Y). Prediction intervals tell you where you can expect to see the next data point sampled. That is, CI is computed using Var(E(Y|X)) and PI is computed using Var(E(Y|X) + e).

Mahalanobis distance and outliers detection

Mahalanobis distance

  • The Mahalanobis distance is a measure of the distance between a point P and a distribution D
  • It is a multi-dimensional generalization of the idea of measuring how many standard deviations away P is from the mean of D.
  • The Mahalanobis distance is thus unitless and scale-invariant, and takes into account the correlations of the data set.
  • Distance is not always what it seems

How to interpret the interaction term

how to interpret the interaction term in lm formula in R? If both x1 and x2 are numerical, then x1:x2 is actually x1*x2 in computation. That is y ~ x1 + x2 + x1:x2 is equivalent to y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 where x3 = x1*x2. The cross is literally the two terms multiplied -- interpretation will largely depend on whether var1 and var2 are both continuous (quite hard to interpret, in my opinion) or whether one of these is e.g. binary categorical (easier to consider.)

    • Increasing the predictor by 1 unit (or going from 1 level to the next) multiplies the odds of having the outcome by exp(β).
    • exp^β is the odds ratio that associates smoking to the risk of heart disease.
    • If exp^β = exp^0.38 = 1.46, the smoking group has a 1.46 times the odds of the non-smoking group of having heart disease.
    • The smoking group has 46% (1.46 – 1 = 0.46) more odds of having heart disease than the non-smoking group.
    • If β = – 0.38, then exp^β = 0.68 and the interpretation becomes: smoking is associated with a 32% (1 – 0.68 = 0.32) reduction in the relative risk of heart disease.

  • logit function f(x) = logit(x) = 1 / (1+exp(-x)) and we model the response Y by f(b0 + b1*x).
  • Interpretation: consider X=(intercept, x), beta = (beta0, beta1) and assume x = 0/1. Then logit(beta0) is the percentage of positive results in Y when x = 0, and logit(beta0 + beta1) is the percentage of positive results in Y when x =1. Again, exp(beta1) is the odds ratio. The probabilities can be predicted by using the formula 1 / (1 + exp (-(b0 + b1*x)) )

GEE vs. mixed effects models

  • https://stats.stackexchange.com/a/16415
  • While both methods are used for modeling correlated data, there are some key differences between them.
    • Assumptions: The key difference between GEE and nlme is that GEE makes fewer assumptions about the underlying data structure. GEE assumes that the mean structure is correctly specified, but the correlation structure is unspecified. In contrast, nlme assumes that both the mean and the variance-covariance structure are correctly specified.
    • Model flexibility: GEE is a more flexible model than nlme because it allows for modeling the mean and variance of the response separately. This means that GEE is more suitable for modeling data with non-normal errors, such as count or binary data. In contrast, nlme assumes that the errors are normally distributed and allows for modeling the mean and variance jointly.
    • Inference: Another key difference between GEE and nlme is the type of inference they provide. GEE provides marginal inference, which means that it estimates the population-averaged effect of the predictor variables on the response variable. In contrast, nlme provides conditional inference, which means that it estimates the subject-specific effect of the predictor variables on the response variable.
    • Computation: The computation involved in fitting GEE and nlme models is also different. GEE uses an iterative algorithm to estimate the model parameters, while nlme uses a maximum likelihood estimation approach. The computational complexity of GEE is lower than that of nlme, making it more suitable for large datasets.
    • In summary, GEE and nlme are two popular models used for analyzing longitudinal data. The main differences between the two models are the assumptions they make, model flexibility, inference type, and computational complexity. GEE is a more flexible model that makes fewer assumptions and provides marginal inference, while nlme assumes normality of errors and provides conditional inference.

    Causal effect (unobserved) [math]\displaystyle{ \begin{align} \tau = E(Y(1) -Y(0)) \end{align} }[/math]
    where [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y(1)] }[/math] referred to the expected outcome in the hypothetical situation that everyone in the population was assigned to treatment, [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y|T=1] }[/math] refers to the expected outcome for all individuals in the population who are actually assigned to treatment... The key is that the value of [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y|T=1]−E[Y|T=0] }[/math] is only equal to the causal effect, [math]\displaystyle{ E[Y(1)−Y(0)] }[/math] if there are no confounders present.
    Inverse-probability weighting removes confounding by creating a “pseudo-population” in which the treatment is independent of the measured confounders... Add a larger weight to the individuals who are underrepresented in the sample and a lower weight to those who are over-represented... propensity score P(T=1|X), logistic regression, stabilized weights.
