Asymptotic Theorems of Sequential Estimation - Adjusted Urn Models
The Generalized Pólya Urn (GPU) is a popular urn model which is widely used in many disciplines. In particular, it is extensively used in treatment allocation schemes in clinical trials. In this paper, we propose a sequential estimation-adjusted urn model (a nonhomogeneous GPU) which has a wide spectrum of applications. Because the proposed urn model depends on sequential estimations of unknown...
متن کاملImmigrated Urn Models -asymptotic Properties and Applications
Urn models have been widely studied and applied in both scientific and social disciplines. In clinical studies, the adoption of urn models in treatment allocation schemes has been proved to be beneficial to both researchers, by providing more efficient clinical trials, and patients, by increasing the probability of receiving the better treatment. In this paper, we endeavor to derive a very gene...
متن کاملEstimation of Distribution Overlap of Urn Models
A classical problem in statistics is estimating the expected coverage of a sample, which has had applications in gene expression, microbial ecology, optimization, and even numismatics. Here we consider a related extension of this problem to random samples of two discrete distributions. Specifically, we estimate what we call the dissimilarity probability of a sample, i.e., the probability of a d...
متن کاملLocal limit theorems for finite and infinite urn models
Local limit theorems are derived for the number of occupied urns in general finite and infinite urn models under the minimum condition that the variance tends to infinity. Our results represent an optimal improvement over previous ones for normal approximation.
متن کاملUrn models and vaccine efficacy estimation.
We derive the distribution of the number of infections among unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals for model 1 (leaky) and model 2 (all/nothing) vaccines, assuming random mixing of a homogeneous population. For all/nothing vaccines, we show that the distribution of the number of infected vaccinated individuals conditioning on n observed infections follows a hypergeometric distribution, and th...
