Mixed-level designs, especially two- and four-level designs, are very useful in practice. In the last two decades, there are quite a few literatures investigating the selection of this kind of optimal designs. Recently, the general minimum lower-order confounding (GMC) criterion (Zhang et al., 2008) gave a new approach for choosing optimal factorials. It is proved that the GMC designs are more powerful than other criteria in the widely practical situations. In this paper, we extend the GMC theory to the mixed-level designs. Under the theory we establish a new criterion for choosing optimal regular two- and four-level designs. Further, a construction method is proposed to obtain all the 2n41 GMC designs with N/4 + 1 ? n + 2 ? 5N/16, where N is the number of runs and n is the number of two-level factors. 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

Repeated measurement designs are widely used in medicine, pharmacology, animal sciences, and psychology. In this paper the works of Iqbal and Tahir (2009) and Iqbal, Tahir, and Ghazali (2010) are generalized for the construction of circular-balanced and circular strongly balanced repeated measurements designs through the method of cyclic shifts for three periods. 相似文献

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

In a mixture experiment, the response depends on the mixing proportions of the components present in the mixture. Optimum designs are available for the estimation of parameters of the models proposed in such situations. However, these designs are found to include the vertex points of the simplex Ξ defining the experimental region, which are not mixtures in the true sense. Recently, Mandal et al. (2015) derived optimum designs when the experiment is confined to an ellipsoidal region within Ξ, which does not include the vertices of Ξ. In this paper, an attempt has been made to find optimum designs when the experimental region is a simplex or is cuboidal inside Ξ and does not contain the extreme points. 相似文献

This paper presents a new variable weight method, called the singular value decomposition (SVD) approach, for Kohonen competitive learning (KCL) algorithms based on the concept of Varshavsky et al. [18]. Integrating the weighted fuzzy c-means (FCM) algorithm with KCL, in this paper, we propose a weighted fuzzy KCL (WFKCL) algorithm. The goal of the proposed WFKCL algorithm is to reduce the clustering error rate when data contain some noise variables. Compared with the k-means, FCM and KCL with existing variable-weight methods, the proposed WFKCL algorithm with the proposed SVD's weight method provides a better clustering performance based on the error rate criterion. Furthermore, the complexity of the proposed SVD's approach is less than Pal et al. [17], Wang et al. [19] and Hung et al. [9]. 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

This study considers efficient mixture designs for the approximation of the response surface of a quantile regression model, which is a second degree polynomial, by a first degree polynomial in the proportions of q components. Instead of least squares estimation in the traditional regression analysis, the objective function in quantile regression models is a weighted sum of absolute deviations and the least absolute deviations (LAD) estimation technique should be used (Bassett and Koenker, 1982; Koenker and Bassett, 1978). Therefore, the standard optimal mixture designs like the D-optimal or A-optimal mixture designs for the least squared estimation are not appropriate. This study explores mixture designs that minimize the bias between the approximated 1st-degree polynomial and a 2nd-degree polynomial response surfaces by the LAD estimation. In contrast to the standard optimal mixture designs for the least squared estimation, the efficient designs might contain elementary centroid design points of degrees higher than two. An example of a portfolio with five assets is given to illustrate the proposed efficient mixture designs in determining the marginal contribution of risks by individual assets in the portfolio. 相似文献

In this article, the concept of cumulative residual entropy (CRE) given by Rao et al. (2004) is extended to Tsallis entropy function and dynamic version, both residual and past of it. We study some properties and characterization results for these generalized measures. In addition, we provide some characterization results of the first-order statistic based on the Tsallis survival entropy. 相似文献

The cost and time consumption of many industrial experimentations can be reduced using the class of supersaturated designs since this can be used for screening out the important factors from a large set of potentially active variables. A supersaturated design is a design for which there are fewer runs than effects to be estimated. Although there exists a wide study of construction methods for supersaturated designs, their analysis methods are yet in an early research stage. In this article, we propose a method for analyzing data using a correlation-based measure, named as symmetrical uncertainty. This method combines measures from the information theory field and is used as the main idea of variable selection algorithms developed in data mining. In this work, the symmetrical uncertainty is used from another viewpoint in order to determine more directly the important factors. The specific method enables us to use supersaturated designs for analyzing data of generalized linear models for a Bernoulli response. We evaluate our method by using some of the existing supersaturated designs, obtained according to methods proposed by Tang and Wu (1997) as well as by Koukouvinos et al. (2008). The comparison is performed by some simulating experiments and the Type I and Type II error rates are calculated. Additionally, Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves methodology is applied as an additional statistical tool for performance evaluation. 相似文献

This article suggests random and fixed effects spatial two-stage least squares estimators for the generalized mixed regressive spatial autoregressive panel data model. This extends the generalized spatial panel model of Baltagi et al. (2013) by the inclusion of a spatial lag term. The estimation method utilizes the Generalized Moments method suggested by Kapoor et al. (2007) for a spatial autoregressive panel data model. We derive the asymptotic distributions of these estimators and suggest a Hausman test a la Mutl and Pfaffermayr (2011) based on the difference between these estimators. Monte Carlo experiments are performed to investigate the performance of these estimators as well as the corresponding Hausman test. 相似文献

In this article, we study global L2 error of non linear wavelet estimator of density in the Besov space Bspq for missing data model when covariables are present and prove that the estimator can achieve the optimal rate of convergence, which is similar to the result studied by Donoho et al. (1996) in complete independent data case with term-by-term thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients. Finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimator is explored via simulations. 相似文献

Filipiak and Markiewicz (2012) proved the universal optimality of circular weakly neighbor balanced designs (CWNBDs) under the interference model with fixed neighbor effects among the class of complete block designs. In two special cases where a CWNBD cannot exist, Filipiak et al. (2012) characterized D-optimal designs. The aim of this paper is to show the universal optimality of CWNBDs and to characterize D-optimal designs under the interference model with random neighbor effects. 相似文献

This paper is based on the application of a Bayesian model to a clinical trial study to determine a more effective treatment to lower mortality rates and consequently to increase survival times among patients with lung cancer. In this study, Qian et al. [13] strived to determine if a Weibull survival model can be used to decide whether to stop a clinical trial. The traditional Gibbs sampler was used to estimate the model parameters. This paper proposes to use the independent steady-state Gibbs sampling (ISSGS) approach, introduced by Dunbar et al. [3], to improve the original Gibbs sampler in multidimensional problems. It is demonstrated that ISSGS provides accuracy with unbiased estimation and improves the performance and convergence of the Gibbs sampler in this application. 相似文献

By using the medical data analyzed by Kang et al. (2007), a Bayesian procedure is applied to obtain control limits for the coefficient of variation. Reference and probability matching priors are derived for a common coefficient of variation across the range of sample values. By simulating the posterior predictive density function of a future coefficient of variation, it is shown that the control limits are effectively identical to those obtained by Kang et al. (2007) for the specific dataset they used. This article illustrates the flexibility and unique features of the Bayesian simulation method for obtaining posterior distributions, predictive intervals, and run-lengths in the case of the coefficient of variation. A simulation study shows that the 95% Bayesian confidence intervals for the coefficient of variation have the correct frequentist coverage. 相似文献

Supersaturated designs is a large class of factorial designs which can be used for screening out the important factors from a large set of potentially active variables. The huge advantage of these designs is that they reduce the experimental cost drastically, but their critical disadvantage is the confounding involved in the statistical analysis. In this article, we propose a method for analyzing data using a specific type of supersaturated designs. This method heavily uses the special block orthogonal structure of the supersaturated designs given by Tang and Wu (1997). Also, we compare our method with several known statistical analysis methods by using some of the existing supersaturated designs. The comparison is performed by some simulating experiments and the Type I and Type II error rates are calculated. The results are presented in tables and the discussion to follow. 相似文献

The problem of finding D-optimal designs in the presence of a number of covariates has been considered in the one-way set-up. This is an extension of Dey and Mukerjee (2006) in the sense that for fixed replication numbers of each treatment, an alternative upper bound to the determinant of the information matrix has been found through completely symmetric C-matrices for the regression coefficients; this upper bound includes the upper bound given in Dey and Mukerjee (2006) obtained through diagonal C-matrices. Because of the fact that a smaller class of C-matrices was used at the intermediate stage where the replication numbers were fixed, ultimately some optimal designs remained unidentified there. These designs have been identified here and thereby the conjecture made in Dey and Mukerjee (2006) has been settled. 相似文献

This paper discusses the estimation of average treatment effects in observational causal inferences. By employing a working propensity score and two working regression models for treatment and control groups, Robins et al. (1994, 1995) introduced the augmented inverse probability weighting (AIPW) method for estimation of average treatment effects, which extends the inverse probability weighting (IPW) method of Horvitz and Thompson (1952); the AIPW estimators are locally efficient and doubly robust. In this paper, we study a hybrid of the empirical likelihood method and the method of moments by employing three estimating functions, which can generate estimators for average treatment effects that are locally efficient and doubly robust. The proposed estimators of average treatment effects are efficient for the given choice of three estimating functions when the working propensity score is correctly specified, and thus are more efficient than the AIPW estimators. In addition, we consider a regression method for estimation of the average treatment effects when working regression models for both the treatment and control groups are correctly specified; the asymptotic variance of the resulting estimator is no greater than the semiparametric variance bound characterized by the theory of Robins et al. (1994, 1995). Finally, we present a simulation study to compare the finite-sample performance of various methods with respect to bias, efficiency, and robustness to model misspecification. 相似文献

When a sufficient correlation between the study variable and the auxiliary variable exists, the ranks of the auxiliary variable are also correlated with the study variable, and thus, these ranks can be used as an effective tool in increasing the precision of an estimator. In this paper, we propose a new improved estimator of the finite population mean that incorporates the supplementary information in forms of: (i) the auxiliary variable and (ii) ranks of the auxiliary variable. Mathematical expressions for the bias and the mean-squared error of the proposed estimator are derived under the first order of approximation. The theoretical and empirical studies reveal that the proposed estimator always performs better than the usual mean, ratio, product, exponential-ratio and -product, classical regression estimators, and Rao (1991), Singh et al. (2009), Shabbir and Gupta (2010), Grover and Kaur (2011, 2014) estimators. 相似文献

In this article, the problem of estimation of the individual weights of three objects using a chemical balance weighing design is considered. We use the criterion of D-optimality. We assume that the covariance matrix of errors is the matrix of first-order autoregressive process. Such problems were discussed in Li and Yang (2005) and also in Yeh and Lo Huang (2005). We present some results of D-optimal designs in certain class of designs with the design matrix X ∈ M n×3(±1) such that each column of matrix X has at least one 1 and one ?1. 相似文献
