Regression Analysis, Nonlinear or Nonnormal: Simple and Accurate p Values from Likelihood Analysis
非线性或非正态回归分析:基于似然的简便精确p值近似
We develop simple approximations for the p values to use with regression models having linear or nonlinear parameter structure and normal or nonnormal error distribution; computer iteration then gives confidence intervals. Both frequentist and Bayesian versions are given. The approximations are derived from recent developments in likelihood analysis and have third-order accuracy. Also, for very small and medium-sized samples, the accuracy can typically be high. The…
