In this study, we estimate the model parameters in one-way classification AR (1) model when the distribution of the error terms is independently and identically distributed (iid) Student’s t. Maximum likelihood (ML) methodology is used in the estimation procedure. We also introduce the F statistic based on the ML estimators of the parameters for testing the equality of the treatment means. See also Yıldırım (2017) (M.S. Thesis, METU, Ankara, Continue) and Şenoğlu and Bayrak (2016) (Linear Contrasts in one-way classification AR (1) model with gamma innovations, Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics 45(6), pp. 1743-1754). Then we compare the efficiencies of the ML estimators of the unknown parameters with the corresponding LS estimators via an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. Simulation results showed that the ML estimators in all simulation scenarios are more efficient than the corresponding LS estimators as expected. Powers of the test statistic based on the ML estimators are also compared with the corresponding test statistic based on LS estimators. At the end of the study, we analyse a real life data set in order to present the implementation of the methodology. For this purpose, we compare our results with the corresponding normal theory results based on this data.

Non-normal bivariate distributions: estimation and hypothesis testing
Qunsiyeh, Sahar Botros; Tiku, Moti Lal; Department of Statistics (2007)
When using data for estimating the parameters in a bivariate distribution, the tradition is to assume that data comes from a bivariate normal distribution. If the distribution is not bivariate normal, which often is the case, the maximum likelihood (ML) estimators are intractable and the least square (LS) estimators are inefficient. Here, we consider two independent sets of bivariate data which come from non-normal populations. We consider two distinctive distributions: the marginal and the conditional dist...
Nonnormal regression. I. Skew distributions
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yildirim, F (2001-01-01)
In a linear regression model of the type y = thetaX + e, it is often assumed that the random error e is normally distributed. In numerous situations, e.g., when y measures life times or reaction times, e typically has a skew distribution. We consider two important families of skew distributions, (a) Weibull with support IR: (0, infinity) on the real line, and (b) generalised logistic with support IR: (-infinity, infinity). Since the maximum likelihood estimators are intractable in these situations, we deriv...
Inference in multivariate linear regression models with elliptically distributed errors
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet (2014-08-01)
In this study we investigate the problem of estimation and testing of hypotheses in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are assumed to be non-normally distributed. We consider the class of heavy-tailed distributions for this purpose. Although our method is applicable for any distribution in this class, we take the multivariate t-distribution for illustration. This distribution has applications in many fields of applied research such as Economics, Business, and Finance. For estimat...
Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models
Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06)
Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
Evidence Optimization for Consequently Generated Models
Strijov, Vadim; Krymova, Katya; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2010-12-04)
To construct as adequate regression model one has to fulfill the set of measured features with their generated derivatives. Often the number of these features exceeds the number of the samples in the data set. After a feature generation process the problem of feature selection from a set of highly correlated features arises. The proposed algorithm uses an evidence maximization procedure to select a model as a subset of generated features. During the selection process it rejects multicollinear features. A pr...
