JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSThe declaration to challenge the Deming Prize brought about a drastic change in our policy management.

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSThe Mahalanobis-Taguchi (MT) method is one of statistical methods for analyzing asymmetric discriminant data in the field of quality control and medical diagnosis. However, some researchers point out that the accuracy of the MT method is deteriorated when (i) the data generating process of a given normal group is not based on an elliptical distribution, and (ii) some of variables are highly correlated with each other. In order to solve these problems, we propose a new asymmetric discriminant analysis "the Kernel MT method," which is formulated by introducing the kernel technique used in the field of machine learning into the MT divergences proposed by Miyakawa and Nagata (2003). Through the numerical experiments and the application of the kernel MT method to the sensory evaluation problem of the wine quality, we show that the kernel MT method is superior to the MT method.View full abstractDownload PDF (1338K) -

JOURNAL RESTRICTED ACCESSWhen we observe a contingency table including binary variables X and Y, this paper considers a problem of evaluating a logistic regression coefficient of X on Y from the data. Under the situation, this paper proposes a weak collapsibility condition in which the sign of the regression coefficient of X on Y does not change by the addition/omission of Z. In addition, we show the collapsilibity conditions in logistic regression models are different from those in Gaussian linear regression models. Futhermore, under the weak collapsibility condition, we discuss a covariate selection problem from the viewpoint of the estimation accuracy, and show that selecting a covariate that has a direct effect on an outcome variable cannot always improve the estimation accuracy, which is contrary to the situation in Gaussian linear regression models.View full abstractDownload PDF (1038K)
