Improved closed-form prediction intervals for binomial and Poisson distributions
The problems of constructing prediction intervals for the binomial and Poisson distributions are considered. Available approximate, exact and conditional methods for both distributions are reviewed and compared. Simple approximate prediction intervals based on the joint distribution of the past samples and the future sample are proposed. Exact coverage studies and expected widths of prediction ...
متن کاملOptimal 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 کاملA Free Line Search Steepest Descent Method for Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems
In this paper, we solve unconstrained optimization problem using a free line search steepest descent method. First, we propose a double parameter scaled quasi Newton formula for calculating an approximation of the Hessian matrix. The approximation obtained from this formula is a positive definite matrix that is satisfied in the standard secant relation. We also show that the largest eigen value...
متن کاملInferences and power analysis concerning two negative binomial distributions with an application to MRI lesion counts data
In comparing the mean count of two independent samples, some practitioners would use the t-test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test while others may use methods based on a Poisson model. It is not uncommon to encounter count data that exhibit overdispersion where the Poisson model is no longer appropriate. This paper deals with methods for overdispersed data using the negative binomial distribution r...
متن کاملComparing Mean Vectors Via Generalized Inference in Multivariate Log-Normal Distributions
Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of means in several multivariate log-normal distributions and propose a useful method called as generalized variable method. Simulation studies show that suggested method has a appropriate size and power regardless sample size. To evaluation this method, we compare this method with traditional MANOVA such that the actual sizes of the two methods ...
