Adaptive designs find an important application in the estimation of unknown percentiles for an underlying dose-response curve. A nonparametric adaptive design was suggested by Mugno et al. (2004) to simultaneously estimate multiple percentiles of an unknown dose-response curve via generalized Polya urns. In this article, we examine the properties of the design proposed by Mugno et al. (2004) when delays in observing responses are encountered. Using simulations, we evaluate a modification of the design under varying group sizes. Our results demonstrate unbiased estimation with minimal loss in efficiency when compared to the original compound urn design. 相似文献

The complication in analyzing tumor data is that the tumors detected in a screening program tend to be slowly progressive tumors, which is the so-called left-truncated sampling that is inherent in screening studies. Under the assumption that all subjects have the same tumor growth function, Ghosh (2008) developed estimation procedures for the Cox proportional hazards model. Shen (2011a) demonstrated that Ghosh (2008)'s approach can be extended to the case when each subject has a specific growth function. In this article, under linear transformation model, we present a general framework to the analysis of data from cancer screening studies. We developed estimation procedures under linear transformation model, which includes Cox's model as a special case. A simulation study is conducted to demonstrate the potential usefulness of the proposed estimators. 相似文献

The present paper suggests an interesting and useful ramification of the unrelated randomized response model due to Pal and Singh (2012) [A new unrelated question randomized response model. Statistics 46 (1), 99–109] that can be used for any sampling scheme. We have shown theoretically and numerically that the proposed model is more efficient than Pal and Singh (2012) model. 相似文献

In this paper, we establish a complete convergence result and a complete moment convergence result for i.i.d. random variables under moment condition which is slightly weaker than the existence of the moment generating function. The main results extend and improve the related known results of Lanzinger (1998) and Gut and Stadtmüller (2011). 相似文献

We propose a nonparametric method of constructing confidence interval for a scalar parameter from stochastic approximation through the efficient Robbins–Monro procedure proposed by Joseph (2004). Unlike the bootstrap method where the number of resampling is fixed in advance, the proposed procedure iteratively searches the endpoints in an optimal way such that the convergence is fast and the coverage is obtained accurately. Simulation and real data application illustrate its superiority over the usual Robbins–Monro procedure and common bootstrap methods. 相似文献

This paper aimed at providing an efficient new unbiased estimator for estimating the proportion of a potentially sensitive attribute in survey sampling. The suggested randomization device makes use of the means, variances of scrambling variables, and the two scalars lie between “zero” and “one.” Thus, the same amount of information has been used at the estimation stage. The variance formula of the suggested estimator has been obtained. We have compared the proposed unbiased estimator with that of Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989), and Singh and Chen (2009) estimators. Relevant conditions are obtained in which the proposed estimator is more efficient than Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989) and Singh and Chen (2009) estimators. The optimum estimator (OE) in the proposed class of estimators has been identified which finally depends on moments ratios of the scrambling variables. The variance of the optimum estimator has been obtained and compared with that of the Kuk (1990) and Franklin (1989) estimator and Singh and Chen (2009) estimator. It is interesting to mention that the “optimum estimator” of the class of estimators due to Singh and Chen (2009) depends on the parameter π under investigation which limits the use of Singh and Chen (2009) OE in practice while the proposed OE in this paper is free from such a constraint. The proposed OE depends only on the moments ratios of scrambling variables. This is an advantage over the Singh and Chen (2009) estimator. Numerical illustrations are given in the support of the present study when the scrambling variables follow normal distribution. Theoretical and empirical results are very sound and quite illuminating in the favor of the present study. 相似文献

Techniques used in variability assessment are subsequently used to draw conclusions regarding the “spread”/uniformity of data curves. Due to the limitations of these techniques, they are not adequate for circumstances where data manifest with multiple peaks. Examples of these manifestations (in three-dimensional space) include under-foot pressure distributions recorded for different types of footwear (Becerro-de-Bengoa-Vallejo et al., 2014; Cibulka et al., 1994; Davies et al., 2003), surface textures and interfaces designed to impact friction, and and and molecular surface structures such as viral epitopes (Torras and Garcia-Valls, 2004; Pacejka, 1997; Fustaffson, 1997). This article proposes a technique for generating a single variable – Λ that will quantify the uniformity of such surfaces. We define and validate this technique using several mathematical and graphical models. 相似文献

This paper treats the problem of stochastic comparisons for the extreme order statistics arising from heterogeneous beta distributions. Some sufficient conditions involved in majorization-type partial orders are provided for comparing the extreme order statistics in the sense of various magnitude orderings including the likelihood ratio order, the reversed hazard rate order, the usual stochastic order, and the usual multivariate stochastic order. The results established here strengthen and extend those including Kochar and Xu (2007), Mao and Hu (2010), Balakrishnan et al. (2014), and Torrado (2015). A real application in system assembly and some numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results. 相似文献

Since the seminal paper of Ghirardato (1997), it is known that Fubini theorem for non additive measures can be available only for functions as “slice-comonotonic” in the framework of product algebra. Later, inspired by Ghirardato (1997), Chateauneuf and Lefort (2008) obtained some Fubini theorems for non additive measures in the framework of product σ-algebra. In this article, we study Fubini theorem for non additive measures in the framework of g-expectation. We give some different assumptions that provide Fubini theorem in the framework of g-expectation. 相似文献

In this article, necessary conditions for comparing order statistics from distributions with regularly varying tails are discussed in terms of various stochastic orders. A necessary and sufficient condition for stochastically comparing tail behaviors of order statistics is derived. The main results generalize and recover some results in Kleiber (2002, 2004). Extensions to coherent systems are mentioned as well. 相似文献

Credibility formula has been developed in many fields of actuarial sciences. Based upon Payandeh (2010), this article extends concept of credibility formula to relatively premium of a given rate-making system. More precisely, it calculates Payandeh’s (2010) credibility factor for zero-inflated Poisson gamma distributions with respect to several loss functions. A comparison study has been given. 相似文献

Sanaullah et al. (2014) have suggested generalized exponential chain ratio estimators under stratified two-phase sampling scheme for estimating the finite population mean. However, the bias and mean square error (MSE) expressions presented in that work need some corrections, and consequently the study based on efficiency comparison also requires corrections. In this article, we revisit Sanaullah et al. (2014) estimator and provide the correct bias and MSE expressions of their estimator. We also propose an estimator which is more efficient than several competing estimators including the classes of estimators in Sanaullah et al. (2014). Three real datasets are used for efficiency comparisons. 相似文献

The concept of neighbor designs was introduced and defined by Rees (1967) along with giving some methods of their construction. Henceforth, many methods of construction of neighbor designs as well as of their generalizations are available in the literature. However, there are only few results on their optimality. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to give an overview of study on this problem. Recent results on optimality of specified neighbor balanced designs under various interference models with block effects are presented and then these results are compared with respective models where block effects are not significant. 相似文献

Sample size estimation for comparing the rates of change in two-arm repeated measurements has been investigated by many investigators. In contrast, the literature has paid relatively less attention to sample size estimation for studies with multi-arm repeated measurements where the design and data analysis can be more complex than two-arm trials. For continuous outcomes, Jung and Ahn (2004) and Zhang and Ahn (2013) have presented sample size formulas to compare the rates of change and time-averaged responses in multi-arm trials, using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach. To our knowledge, there has been no corresponding development for multi-arm trials with count outcomes. We present a sample size formula for comparing the rates of change in multi-arm repeated count outcomes using the GEE approach that accommodates various correlation structures, missing data patterns, and unbalanced designs. We conduct simulation studies to assess the performance of the proposed sample size formula under a wide range of designing configurations. Simulation results suggest that empirical type I error and power are maintained close to their nominal levels. The proposed method is illustrated using an epileptic clinical trial example. 相似文献

To deal with multicollinearity problem, the biased estimators with two biasing parameters have recently attracted much research interest. The aim of this article is to compare one of the last proposals given by Yang and Chang (2010) with Liu-type estimator (Liu 2003) and k ? d class estimator (Sakallioglu and Kaciranlar 2008) under the matrix mean squared error criterion. As well as giving these comparisons theoretically, we support the results with the extended simulation studies and real data example, which show the advantages of the proposal given by Yang and Chang (2010) over the other proposals with increasing multicollinearity level. 相似文献

The probability matching prior for linear functions of Poisson parameters is derived. A comparison is made between the confidence intervals obtained by Stamey and Hamilton (2006), and the intervals derived by us when using the Jeffreys’ and probability matching priors. The intervals obtained from the Jeffreys’ prior are in some cases fiducial intervals (Krishnamoorthy and Lee, 2010). A weighted Monte Carlo method is used for the probability matching prior. The power and size of the test, using Bayesian methods, is compared to tests used by Krishnamoorthy and Thomson (2004). The Jeffreys’, probability matching and two other priors are used. 相似文献

Let X1, X2, … be a sequence of stationary standardized Gaussian random fields. The almost sure limit theorem for the maxima of stationary Gaussian random fields is established. Our results extend and improve the results in Csáki and Gonchigdanzan (2002) and Choi (2010). 相似文献

In this article, we establish the complete moment convergence of a moving-average process generated by a class of random variables satisfying the Rosenthal-type maximal inequality and the week mean dominating condition. On the one hand, we give the correct proof for the case p = 1 in Ko (2015); on the other hand, we also consider the case αp = 1 which was not considered in Ko (2015). The results obtained in this article generalize some corresponding ones for some dependent sequences. 相似文献

The objective of this paper is to study U-type designs for Bayesian non parametric response surface prediction under correlated errors. The asymptotic Bayes criterion is developed in terms of the asymptotic approach of Mitchell et al. (1994) for a more general covariance kernel proposed by Chatterjee and Qin (2011). A relationship between the asymptotic Bayes criterion and other criteria, such as orthogonality and aberration, is then developed. A lower bound for the criterion is also obtained, and numerical results show that this lower bound is tight. The established results generalize those of Yue et al. (2011) from symmetrical case to asymmetrical U-type designs. 相似文献

This article presents methods for the construction of two-sided and one-sided simultaneous hyperbolic bands for the logistic and probit regression models when the predictor variable is restricted to a given interval. The bands are constructed based on the asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimators. Past articles have considered building two-sided asymptotic confidence bands for the logistic model, such as Piegorsch and Casella (1988). However, the confidence bands given by Piegorsch and Casella are conservative under a single interval restriction, and it is shown in this article that their bands can be sharpened using the methods proposed here. Furthermore, no method has yet appeared in the literature for constructing one-sided confidence bands for the logistic model, and no work has been done for building confidence bands for the probit model, over a limited range of the predictor variable. This article provides methods for computing critical points in these areas. 相似文献
