A Bayesian Decision-Theoretic Approach to Logically-Consistent Hypothesis Testing
This work addresses an important issue regarding the performance of simultaneous test procedures: the construction of multiple tests that at the same time are optimal from a statistical perspective and that also yield logically-consistent results that are easy to communicate to practitioners of statistical methods. For instance, if hypothesis A implies hypothesis B, is it possible to create opt...
متن کاملDecision Theoretic Bayesian Hypothesis Testing with the Selection Goal
Consider a probability model P ; ; where = ( 1; 2; :::; k) is a parameter vector of interest, and is some nuisance parameter. The problem of testing null hypothesis H0 : 1 = 2 = ::: = k against selecting one of k alternative hypotheses Hi : i = [k] > [1]; i = 1; 2; :::; k; where [k] = maxf 1; 2; :::; kg and [1] = minf 1; 2; :::; kg; is formulated from a Bayesian decision theoretic point of view...
متن کاملBayesian Hypothesis Testing: A Reference Approach
For any probability model M ≡ {p(x |θ,ω),θ ∈ Θ,ω ∈ Ω} assumed to describe the probabilistic behaviour of data x ∈ X, it is argued that testing whether or not the available data are compatible with the hypothesis H0 ≡ {θ = θ0} is best considered as a formal decision problem on whether to use (a0), or not to use (a1), the simpler probability model (or null model) M0 ≡ {p(x |θ0,ω),ω ∈ Ω}, where th...
متن کاملA Bayesian Decision Theoretic Approach to Wavelet Thresholding
Thresholding rules recently became of considerable interest when Donoho and John-stone applied them in the wavelet shrinkage context. Analytically simple, such rules are very eecient in data denoising and data compression problems. In this paper we nd hard thresholding decision rules that minimize Bayes risk for broad classes of underlying models. Standard Donoho-Johnstone test signals are used...
متن کاملA Bayesian decision theoretic approach to directional multiple hypotheses problems
A multiple hypothesis problem with directional alternatives is considered in a decision theoretic framework. Skewness in the alternatives is considered, and it is shown that this skewness permits the Bayes rules to possess certain advantages when one direction of the alternatives is more important or more probable than the other direction. Bayes rules subject to constrains on certain directiona...
