Abstract:
Measures of data quality are important for the evaluation and improvement of survey design and procedures. A detailed investigation of the sources, magnitude and impact of errors is necessary to identify how survey design and procedures may be improved and how resources allocated more efficiently among various aspects of the survey operation. A major part of this thesis is devoted to the overview of statistical theory and methods for measuring the contribution of response variability to the overall error of a survey. A very common practice in surveys is to select groups (clusters) of elements

The purpose of this research is to examine the bootstrap and jackknife as methods for estimating the variance of the AUC from a study using a complex sampling design and to determine which characteristics of the sampling design effects this estimation. Data from a one-stage cluster sampling design of 10 clusters was examined. Factors included three true AUCs (.60, .75, and .90), three prevalence levels (50/50, 70/30, 90/10) (non-disease/disease), and finally three number of clusters sampled (2, 5, or 7).

Abstract:
Statistical analysis of data sets of high-dimensionality has met great interest over the past years, with great applications on disciplines such as medicine, nellascience, pattern recognition, image analysis and many others. The vast number of available variables though, contrary to the limited sample size, often mask the cluster structure of the data. It is often that some variables do not help in distinguishing the different clusters in the data; patterns over the samp•.l ed observations are, thus, usually confined to a small subset of variables.

Entropy is a measure of the randomness of a system state. This quantity gives us a measure of uncertainty that is associated with each particular observation belonging to a specific cluster. We examine this property and its potential use in analyzing high dimension datasets. Entropy proves most interesting in identifying possible dimensions that do not contribute meaningful classification to the clusters present. We can remove the dimension(s) found which are the least important and generalize this idea to a procedure. After identifying all the dimensions that should be eliminated from the dat

Abstract:
La détection des agrégats est une problématique d'importance en épidémiologie. Les méthodes de détection d'agrégats ont essentiellement été développées pour des maladies mesurées par des variables dichotomiques (cas/témoins). Or, dans le cas des infections mammaires des bovins, la maladie est évaluée par le score cellulaire, variable continue qui est une expression de la numération leucocytaire du lait. En conséquence, l'objectif de la thèse a consisté à développer des méthodes de détection d'agrégats spatiaux adaptées aux variables continues, afin d'analyser la répartition spatiale du score c

Abstract:
(I A Few-Cluster-Robust Test for Weak Instruments) - ABSTRACT - In the usual IV regression models, the quality of estimation and inference dra- matically depends on the relevance of the set of instruments. To test such condition, most empiricists rely on the first-stage F-statistic as suggested by Stock and Yogo (2005a). However, this method is not valid for clustered data, especially when there are few clusters. Recently, weak instrument-robust methods for inference have been proposed, but none of them deals with the latter case. In this paper, we propose a simple method to perform inf
