Interclass Correlation??

I am trying to determine the reliability of a balance test for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The test involves six different conditions, with each condition consisting of three trials (6 x 3). Each individual has performed the complete test twice, which gives me 6 trials for each of the 6

Hi Ronny, First, both the centred and non-centred moving averages are used in smoothing time series. The latter is used in short term forecasting - you are assuming a model where the mean is locally constant, so the forecasting process consists of estimating the current value of that mean and pro

A time series plot of the data shows three things going on: 1. there is seasonality of period 12 2. there is trend 3. there is increasing spread. When you use moving averages, the number of periods averaged should match your seasonality, which means you would have to use a 12 perio

Nonrandomness of binary matrices

2001-07-23 Thread Rich Strauss
Say I have a binary data matrix for which both the rows (observations) and columns (variables) are computely permutable. (In practice, about 5-20% of the cells will contain 1's, and the remainder will contain 0's.) Assume that the expected probability of a cell containing a '1' is identical for

Forecasting Seasonal Indices Question (Long)

2001-07-23 Thread Ronny Richardson
The seasonal indices represent the amount by which the seasons vary from after. If there is no seasonality, then you would expect all of the indices to be 1.00 so the total (for quarterly data) should be 4.00. With seasonality, some are above 1.00 and others are below 1.00 but the total should sti
