A Bayesian analysis of racial differences in treatment among breast-cancer patients
Bhadra, Dhiman (Advances and Applications in Statistics, 2015-06)It is a well known fact that race and ethnicity specific variations exist in the treatment and survival of cancer patients. Studies based on breast cancer patients admitted to community hospitals in U.S. depicted that there ... -
Bayesian predictive inference of a finite population proportion under selection bias
Nandram, Balgobin; Bhatta, Dilli; Bhadra, Dhiman; Shen, Gang (Elsevier Inc., 2013)We show how to infer about a finite population proportion using data from a possibly biased sample. In the absence of any selection bias or survey weights, a simple ignorable selection model, which assumes that the binary ... -
A Bayesian test of Independence in a two-way contingency table using surrogate sampling
Nandram, Balgobin; Bhatta, Dilli; Sedransk, Joe; Bhadra, Dhiman (Elsevier Inc., 2013-03-01)We consider a Bayesian approach to the study of independence in a two-way contingency table which has been obtained from a two-stage cluster sampling design. If a procedure based on single-stage simple random sampling ... -
A likelihood ratio test of quasi-independence for sparse two-way contingency tables
Nandram, Balgobin; Bhatta, Dilli; Bhadra, Dhiman (Taylor & Francis, 2015)We consider a likelihood ratio test of independence for large two-way contingency tables having both structural (non-random) and sampling (random) zeros in many cells. The solution of this problem is not available using ... -
Tests of independence for a 2 × 2 contingency table with random margins
Yu, Yuan; Bhadra, Dhiman; Nandram, Balgobin (Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2017)Fisher’s exact test is commonly used for testing the hypothesis of independence between the row and column variables in a r c contingency table. It is a “small-sample” test since it is used when the sample size is not ...
