ABSTRACT

This paper presents a unified framework for regression-based statistical disclosure control for microdata. A basic method, known as information preserving statistical obfuscation (IPSO), produces synthetic data that preserve variances, covariances and fitted values. The data are then generated conditionally according to the multivariate normal distribution. Generalizations of the IPSO method are described in the literature and these methods aim to generate data more similar to the original data. This paper describes these methods in a concise and interpretable way, which is close to efficient implementation. Decomposing the residual data into orthogonal scores and corresponding loadings is an essential part of the framework. Both QR decomposition (Gram Schmidt orthogonalization) and singular value decomposition (principal components) may be used. Within this framework, new and generalized methods are presented. In particular, a method is described by means of which the correlations to the original principal component scores can be controlled exactly. It is shown that a suggested method of random orthogonal matrix masking (ROMM) can be implemented without generating an orthogonal matrix. Generalized methodology for hierarchical categories is presented within the context of microaggregation. Some information can then be preserved at the lowest level and more information at higher levels. The presented methodology is also applicable to tabular data. One possibility is to replace the content of primary and secondary suppressed cells with generated values. It is proposed replacing suppressed cell frequencies with decimal numbers and it is argued that this can be a useful method.

ABSTRACT: This paper is an overview of a unified framework for analyzing designed experiments with univariate or multivariate responses. Both categorical and continuous design variables are considered. To handle unbalanced data, we introduce the so-called Type II* sums of squares. This means that the results are independent of the scale chosen for continuous design variables. Furthermore, it does not matter whether two-level variables are coded as categorical or continuous. Overall testing of all responses is done by 50-50 MANOVA, which handles several highly correlated responses. Univariate p-values for each response are adjusted by using rotation testing. To illustrate multivariate effects, mean values and mean predictions are illustrated in a principal component score plot or directly as curves. For the unbalanced cases, we introduce a new variant of adjusted means, which are independent to the coding of two-level variables. The methodology is exemplified by case studies from cheese and fish pudding production.

ABSTRACT ( Copyright © 2006 American Statistical Association ) : This article describes a new plot that aids understanding the relationship between two response variables in a designed experiment. In addition to plotting the observed values directly, we make a scatter plot of orthogonal contrasts from the general linear model. This plot contains the same correlation information as the ordinary scatter plot. Therefore, one can interpret how the effects of the various design variables contribute to the correlation coefficient. This idea is also useful in more general cases. Any graphic presentation of the original observations can be accompanied by a corresponding plot of orthogonal contrasts that often will clarify the interpretation.

ABSTRACT

This paper describes a generalised framework for doing Monte Carlo tests in multivariate linear regression. The rotation methodology assumes multivariate normality and is a true generalisation of the classical multivariate tests - any imaginable test statistic is allowed. The generalised test statistics are dependent on the unknown covariance matrix. Rotation testing handles this problem by conditioning on sufficient statistics.

Compared to permutation tests, we replace permutations by proper random rotations. Permutation tests avoid the multinormal assumption, but they are limited to relatively simple models. On the other hand, a rotation test can, in particular, be applied to any multivariate generalisation of the univariate F-test.

As an important application, a detailed description of how each single response p-value can be non-conservatively adjusted for multiplicity is given. This method is exact and non-conservative (unlike Bonferroni), and it is a generalisation of the ordinary F-test (except for the computation by simulations). Hence, this paper offers an exact Monte Carlo solution to a classical problem of multiple testing.

ABSTRACT ( Copyright © American Society for Microbiology ) : Explorative approaches such as DNA microarray experiments are becoming increasingly important in microbial research. Despite these major technical advancements, approaches to study multifactor experiments are still lacking. We have addressed this problem using rotation testing and a novel MANOVA approach (50-50 MANOVA) to investigate interacting experimental factors in a complex experimental design. Furthermore, a new rotation testing based method was introduced to calculate false discovery rates for each response. This novel analytical concept was used to investigate global survival mechanisms in the environment of the major food borne pathogen C. jejuni. We simulated non-growth environmental conditions by investigating combinations of the factors temperature (5 and 25° C) and oxygen tension (anaerobic, microaerobic and aerobic). Data were generated using DNA microarrays for information about gene expression patterns coupled with FT-IR spectroscopy to study global macromolecular changes in the cell. Microarray analyses showed that most genes are either unchanged or down regulated compared to the reference (day 0) for the conditions tested, and that the 25° C anaerobic condition gave the most distinct expression pattern with the fewest genes expressed. The few up regulated genes are generally stress related and/or related to the cell envelope. We found, using FT-IR spectroscopy, that the amount of polysaccharides/oligosaccharides increases under the non-growth survival conditions. Potential mechanisms for survival could be to down regulate most functions to save energy, and produce polysaccharides/oligocaccharides for protection against harsh environments. Basic knowledge about the survival mechanisms is of fundamental importance in preventing transmission of this bacterium through the food chain.

ABSTRACT: A geometrical interpretation of the classical tests of the relation between two sets of variables is presented. One of the variable sets may be considered as fixed and then we have a multivariate regression model. When the Wilks' lambda distribution is viewed geometrically it is obvious that the two special cases, the F distribution and the Hotelling T ² distribution are equivalent. From the geometrical perspective it is also obvious that the test statistic and the p-value are unchanged if the responses and the predictors are interchanged.

ABSTRACT: A common problem in statistics/chemometrics is to relate two data matrices (X and Y) to each other, with the purpose of either prediction or interpretation. Usually one is interested in understanding which directions in Y-space that can be predicted by which directions in X-space. Several methods exist for this, for instance PLS regression and canonical correlation. The present paper presents a new plot for visualising the relationship between X and Y. The plot is based on a decomposition of the X-space that is optimal with respect to Y-variance. The new procedure can accompany any regression method.

Langsrud, Ø. (2003), ANOVA for Unbalanced Data: Use Type II Instead of Type III Sums of Squares, Statistics and Computing, 13, 163-167.

ABSTRACT: Methods for analyzing unbalanced factorial designs can be traced back to Yates in 1934 ¹⁾. Today, most major statistical programs perform, by default, unbalanced ANOVA based on Type III sums of squares (Yates's weighted squares of means). As criticized by Nelder and Lane ²⁾, this analysis is founded on unrealistic models - models with interactions, but without all corresponding main effects. The Type II analysis (Yates's method of fitting constants) is usually not preferred because of the underlying assumption of no interactions. This argument is, however, also founded on unrealistic models. Furthermore, by considering the power of the two methods, it is clear that Type II is preferable.

ABSTRACT: Classical multivariate analysis-of-variance tests perform poorly in cases with several highly correlated responses and the tests collapse when the number of responses exceeds the number of observations. This paper presents a new method which handles this problem. The dimensionality of the data is reduced by using principal component decompositions and the final tests are still based on the classical test statistics and their distributions. The methodology is illustrated with an example from the production of sausages with responses from near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. A closely related method for testing relationships in uniresponse regression with collinear explanatory variables is also presented. The new test, which is called the 50-50 F-test, uses the first k components to calculate SS_MODEL. The next d components are not involved in SS_ERROR and they are called buffer components.

ABSTRACT: A forward selection procedure for identifying active contrasts in unreplicated factorial multiresponse experiments is presented. To test the multivariate effects, p-values are calculated by Monte Carlo sampling; the ordinary Hotelling's T ² test is a special case. Collinear responses are effectively handled by successive principal component decompositions, as when, for instance, the number of response variables exceeds the number of observations. In the univariate case, the test statistic pools the smallest effects as error. Independent sources for error degrees of freedom can be incorporated. The method is illustrated with examples from baguette and mayonnaise production.
