The South Campus Philosophy Department rooms too have the pleasant atmosphere of being situated in a modern architectural complex in South Delhi, interspaced with beautiful gardens. Both campuses are well connected with public transport.

This Department began as a combined Department of Philosophy and Psychology in the year 1953. The Department of Psychology became independent in 1962. Since then the Department of Philosophy is an Autonomous Department.

Kevin Morris, PhD Student, Accepts Department of Black Studies Dissertation Fellowship

Kevin Morris, PhD Student, has recently accepted the Department of Black Studies Dissertation Fellowship at UC Santa Barbara for 2024 to 2025.

Morris is a PhD student on the American Studies track focusing on 19th and 20th century African American literature and culture. Morris's current project looks to connect slave narratives and prison literature along a continuum of African American writing from the "front lines," and addresses concerns around black masculinity, black male sexualities, class, citizenship, and the law.

Rank-Based Analyses and Designs with Clustered Data

Clustered data are common in biomedical research. It is often of interest to evaluate the correlations within clusters and between variables with clustered data. Conventional approaches, including intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Pearson correlations, are commonly used in analyses with clustered data. However, these conventional approaches are sensitive to extreme values and skewness. They also depend on the scale of the data and are not applicable to ordered categorical data. In this dissertation, we define population parameters for the rank ICC and between- and within-cluster Spearman rank correlations. These definitions are natural extensions of the conventional correlations to the rank scale. We show that the total Spearman rank correlation approximates a weighted sum of between- and within-cluster Spearman rank correlations, with weights determined by the rank ICCs of the two random variables. We also describe estimation and inference for these four rank-based correlations, conduct simulations to evaluate the performance of our estimators, and illustrate their use with real data examples. Furthermore, we apply the rank ICC in the design of clustered randomized controlled trials (RCTs), proposing unified and simple sample size calculations for cluster RCTs with skewed or ordinal outcomes. Our calculation involves inflating the sample size for an adequately powered individual RCT for an ordinal outcome with a design effect that incorporates the rank ICC. For continuous outcomes, our calculation sets the number of distinct ordinal levels to the sample size. We show that with continuous data, our calculations closely approximate more complicated sample size calculations based on clustered Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. We conduct simulations to evaluate our calculations’ performance and illustrate their use in the design of two cluster RCTs, one with a skewed continuous outcome and a non-inferiority trial with an irregularly distributed count outcome.
