The Bayesian Methodology of Sir Harold Jeffreys as a Practical Alternative to the P Value Hypothesis Test

This work presents a new method for an unsupervised word sense disambiguation task using WordNet semantic relations. In this method we expand the context of a word being disambiguated with related synsets from the available WordNet relations and study within this set the distribution of the related synset that correspond to each sense of the target word. A single sample Pearson-Chi-Square goodness-of-fit hypothesis test is used to determine whether the null hypothesis of a composite normality PDF is a reasonable assumption for a set of related synsets corresponding to a sense. The calculated p-value from this test is a critical value for deciding the correct sense. The target word is assigned the sense, the related synsets of which are distributed more "abnormally" relative to the other sets of the other senses. Our algorithm is evaluated on English lexical sample data from the Senseval-2 word sense disambiguation competition. Three WordNet relations, antonymy, hyponymy and hypernymy give a distributional set of related synsets for the context that was proved quite a good word sense discriminator, achieving comparable results with the system obtained the better results among the other competing participants.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To improve the implementation of FDRs in translation research. Current statistical packages are hard to use and fail to adequately convey strong assumptions. We developed a software package that allows the user to decide on assumptions and choose the hey desire. We encourage wider reporting of FDRs for observed findings. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We developed a user-friendly R function for computing FDRs from observed p-values. A variety of methods for FDR estimation and for FDR control are included so the user can select the approach most appropriate for their setting. Options include Efron’s Empirical Bayes FDR, Benjamini-Hochberg FDR control for multiple testing, Lindsey’s method for smoothing empirical distributions, estimation of the mixing proportion, and central matching. We illustrate the important difference between estimating the FDR for a particular finding and adjusting a hypothesis test to control the false discovery propensity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We performed a comparison of the capabilities of our new p.fdr function to the popular p.adjust function from the base stats-package. Specifically, we examined multiple examples of data coming from different unknown mixture distributions to highlight the null estimation methods p.fdr includes. The base package does not provide the optimal FDR usage nor sufficient estimation options. We also compared the step-up/step-down procedure used in adjusted p-value hypothesis test and discuss when this is inappropriate. The p.adjust function is not able to report raw-adjusted values and this will be shown in the graphical results. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: FDRs reveal the propensity for an observed result to be incorrect. FDRs should accompany observed results to help contextualize the relevance and potential impact of research findings. Our results show that previous methods are not sufficient rich or precise in their calculations. Our new package allows the user to be in control of the null estimation and step-up implementation when reporting FDRs.

Learning about statistics is a lot like learning about science: the learning is more meaningful if you can actively explore. This third installment of Explorations in Statistics investigates confidence intervals. A confidence interval is a range that we expect, with some level of confidence, to include the true value of a population parameter such as the mean. A confidence interval provides the same statistical information as the P value from a hypothesis test, but it circumvents the drawbacks of that hypothesis test. Even more important, a confidence interval focuses our attention on the scientific importance of some experimental result.
