   I am using nonlinear regression method to find the best parameters for
   my data. I came across a term called runs test from the Internet. It
   mentioned that this is to determines whether my data is differ
   significantly from the equation model I select for the nonlinear
   regression. Can someone please let me know how should I perform the
   run tests??
 
  You need to use a runs test that's adjusted for the dependence in the
  residuals. The usual runs test in the texts won't apply.

 I always understood that the runs test was designed to detect systematic
 departures from the fitted line because some other curve fitted the data
 better. In this context, it is a test for dependence of residuals.
 
 There is a discussion of this at
  http://216.46.227.18/curvefit/systematic_deviation.htm
 
 Any elementary text in Non-parametric Methods in statistics will
 give an example.

Well, the residuals are always *dependent*, to the extent of p/n  
(# variables  divided by N).  That is the Expectation.  So they are
*not*   i.i.d, which is an assumption.   Thus:  the runs test is an
approximation which is inadequate for large ratios of p/n -- It 
is nice for the stat-pack to explain the runs-test, but 
not-so-nice that it fails to mention the other detail.

Draper and Smith's book on regression mention that the runs
test will be approximate, since the expectation is not independent.

You can also google-search on  Durbin-Watson  runs test,
and click on the lectures ...  or whatever appeals most to you.
The D-W  test is awkward enough to *test*  that you don't wonder 
why people should look for an easier option.  Several textbooks 
that I just looked at seem to be satisfied with recommending 
that you eye-ball your residuals in several plots - without doing
tests.

Re: Is this how you would have done it?

 ... 
 A local newspaper asked its readers to rank the year's Top 10 news stories
 by completing a ballot form. There were 10 choices on all but one ballot
 (i.e. local news, sports news, business news, etc.), and you had to rank
 those from 1 to 10 without duplicating any of your choices. One was their
 top pick, 10 their lowest. Only one ballot had more than 10 choices, because
 of the large number of local news stories you could choose from.
 
 
 
 I would have thought if you only had 10 choices and had to rank from 1 to
 10, then you'd count up all the stories that got the readers' Number One
 vote and which ever story got the most Number One votes would have been
 declared the winner.
 [ ... ]

I have read three good responses.

I want to mention that what you describe is just like the polls 
used in college sports, where the coaches or  media each vote
(coaches do one poll; media do another)   for 
Who is number 1.And they typically do report what you
ask for, the number of  #1 votes, in addition to the total (which
does not have to agree).

Thinking of other ratings with rankings:

Is it Places rated almanac? - that annually lists numbers 
for 120 or 250  American cities.  They do another simple
averaging of ranks, across their 10  or so categories.

I remember some public discussion of how arbitrary 
that was, and how it tends to reward 'consistent mediocrity.'
(The first time they did this, Pittsburgh home was near 
the top, so I have noticed later discussion.)

That discussion also pointed out that the results 
were  *usually*   not  *greatly*   different if you 
chose another weighting system.  
And the better advice was that any
interested person should  look at the separate categories, 
and choose the few that matter to themselves.

Record Linkage Software

2001-12-27 Thread Andrew McAlindon

LinkageWiz is a Record Linkage program that makes it easy to link client
records that exist in separate files or databases.

It can also be used to identify duplicate records within client databases
and mailing lists.

Probabilistic linkage techniques are used to join the records, utilising
common identifiers such as name, date of birth, sex, Social Security Card
Number, Medicare number and others.

Why re-invent the wheel and write your own program when LinkageWiz is
available at a reasonable cost. If you write your own program you will need
to consider the following factors, as well as allowing for data quality
issues and non-human data:

  a.. The inconsistent use of spaces and quotes in surnames;

  b.. Misspelt surnames and first names;

  c.. Use of nick names and aliases;

  d.. Date of birth inaccuracy/estimation;

  e.. Inconsistent entry of first and middle names, particularly for clients
of Asian origin;

  f.. Registration of babies (where the given names have not yet been
assigned);

  g.. Lack of face-to-face verification of patient details within pathology
laboratories;

  h.. Hyphenated surnames; and

  i.. Surname changes, particularly for women who have changed their marital
status.

LinkageWiz uses a sophisticated probabilistic linkage approach to match the
highest number of records possible, whilst minimising the number of false
matches.
