摘要:

A general system of inference which leads to upper and lower posterior distributions has been proposed by Dempster (1966, 1968a, 1968b). This general theory of inference is applied to various estimation problems arising in Poisson processes. In particular, the emphasis is on the estimation of the parameter of the process and on the prediction of the number of future events, given the observed data. In this article, all upper and lower probability inferences are generated by random intervals

摘要:

For any linear model there is, according to an invariance argument, a uniquely defined prior representing ignorance, which will be called the inner prior. It is shown that the corresponding posterior probabilities are weighted averages of conditional confidence levels. This frequency interpretation compares favorably with the usual interpretation of confidence levels as unconditional probabilities of coverage. Of particular interest to users of statistical methods is that inner posterior intervals are always shorter than the corresponding confidence intervals and, sometimes, dramatically so.

摘要:

LetX1, …,XmandY1, …,Ynbe independent random variables from two continuous distributionsF(σ1−1(x−v)) andF(σ2−1(x− η)), respectively, where ν and η are medians and σ1and σ2are scale parameters. Explicit forms of estimators of the ratio of scale parameters are obtained based on Ansari-Bradley, modified Ansari-Bradley, Siegel-Tukey, and modified Sukhatme tests. In the case where the Ansari-Bradley test is used, the limiting distribution of the estimator is obtained, assuming ν, η known or unknown. Numerical examples and a graphical method for obtaining the estimates are also given.

摘要:

Previous sequential solutions for selecting the population with the largest center of symmetry amongkpopulations differing only in location have taken the following approach: Let cs denote the event of correct selection and derive a stopping rule which is such that, for α > 0 preassigned, lim infP(cs) ≥ 1 − α as δ → 0 when δ = θ[k]− θ[k−1]and θ[i]is theith smallest center of symmetry. In the present article the fixed δ case is of primary concern, and rules which perform well as α → 0 are sought. A general method of solution is presented and applied to yield a procedure based on the sample means. Comparison with a previously developed rule is made.
