A Test of Homogeneity for Two Multivariate Populations
The classical tests of homogeneity, such as the twosample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, do not have a natural extension to comparing two multivariate populations. G. J. Székely and N. K. Bakirov have proposed a new test based on Euclidean distance between sample elements. This test can be applied to testing homogeneity of any two multivariate populations with finite second moments, and the test is r...
متن کاملSample size for testing homogeneity of two a priori dependent binomial populations using the Bayesian approach
This paper establishes new methodology for calculating the optimal sample size when a hypothesis test between two binomial populations is performed. The problem is addressed from the Bayesian point of view, with prior information expressed through a Dirichlet distribution. The approach of this paper sets an upper bound for the posterior risk and then chooses as ‘optimum’ the combined sample siz...
متن کاملExact Group Sequential Methods for Estimating a Binomial Proportion
�e �rst review existing sequential methods for estimating a binomial proportion. A�erward, we propose a new family of group sequential sampling schemes for estimating a binomial proportion with prescribed margin of error and con�dence level. In particular, we establish the uniform controllability of coverage probability and the asymptotic optimality for such a family of sampling schemes. Our th...
متن کاملConvergence in a sequential two stages decision making process
We analyze a sequential decision making process, in which at each stepthe decision is made in two stages. In the rst stage a partially optimalaction is chosen, which allows the decision maker to learn how to improveit under the new environment. We show how inertia (cost of changing)may lead the process to converge to a routine where no further changesare made. We illustrate our scheme with some...
متن کاملAn Efficient Test for Comparing Sequence Diversity between Two Populations
We address the problem of comparing interindividual genomic sequence diversity between two populations. Although the methods are general, for concreteness we focus on comparing two human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected populations. From a viral isolate(s) taken from each individual in a sample of persons from each population, suppose one or multiple measurements are made on the genetic se...
