Optimal Non-Parametric Prediction Intervals for Order Statistics with Random Sample Size
In many experiments, such as biology and quality control problems, sample size cannot always be considered as a constant value. Therefore, the problem of predicting future data when the sample size is an integer-valued random variable can be an important issue. This paper describes the prediction problem of future order statistics based on upper and lower records. Two different cases for the ...
متن کاملImproved Minimax Prediction Under Kullback-Leibler Loss
Let X | μ ∼ Np(μ, vxI) and Y | μ ∼ Np(μ, vyI) be independent p-dimensional multivariate normal vectors with common unknown mean μ, and let p(x|μ) and p(y |μ) denote the conditional densities of X and Y . Based on only observing X = x, we consider the problem of obtaining a predictive distribution p̂(y |x) for Y that is close to p(y |μ) as measured by Kullback-Leibler loss. The natural straw man ...
متن کاملOptimization of Random Sample Size in Progressively Type II Censoring based on Cost Criterion
So far censored samples have been studied by many researchers. One of the most important methods of censoring is progressively type II censoring. An interesting issue in the discussion of censoring is determination of the optimal sample size. Various factors are influential in determining the appropriate sample size, the most important of which is the sampling cost criterion. In this paper, ass...
متن کاملBayesian Determination of Sample Size in Longitudinal Studies with Binary Responses Using Random Effects Models
Sample size determination is important in all statistical studies including longitudinal studies. This is usually done by considering a target power to reduce the costs of sampling. Choosing the right sample size using efficient methods, ensures that the researcher achieve goal of the study, by spending the least amount of energy, time and money. In this article, using a method based on simulat...
متن کاملBayesian sample size determination under hypothesis tests.
We develop a Bayesian approach for calculating sample sizes for clinical trials under the framework of hypothesis tests. We extend the work of Weiss (The Statistician 1997; 46: 185-191) to include composite distributions for the treatment effect and the variance of the data within the null and alternative hypotheses. We select sample sizes using the Bayes factor and the averaged type I error an...
