Conventional multiple hypothesis tests use step-up, step-down, or closed testing methods to control the overall error rates. We will discuss marrying these methods with adaptive multistage sampling rules and stopping rules to perform efficient multiple hypothesis testing in sequential experimental designs. The result is a multistage step-down procedure that adaptively tests multiple hypotheses ...

After a brief survey of a variety of optimal stopping problems in sequential testing theory, we give a unified treatment of these problems by introducing a general class of loss functions and prior distributions. In the context of a one-parameter exponential family, this unified treatment leads to relatively simple sequential tests involving generalized likelihood ratio statistics or mixture li...

this study proposes a method employing thermogravimetric analysis (tg) to predict pollutionlevels by heavy metals (cr, cu, ni, zn, pb, cd and hg) in port sediments close to urban and industrial sitesfrom bay of cádiz. for this purpose, the thermogravimetric results of 14 sediment samples were recorded andshowed two characteristic ranges of temperatures (w1 as weight loss, %: 200-650°c) vs. (w2 ...

in this paper, a multi-objective reconfiguration problem has been solved simultaneously by a modified ant colony optimization algorithm. two objective functions, real power loss and energy not supplied index (ens), were utilized. multi-objective modified ant colony optimization algorithm has been generated by adding non-dominated sorting technique and changing the pheromone updating rule of ori...

this study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in guilan province in northern iran. the raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the agricultural jihad organization of guilan province. power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

Age-associated loss of muscular strength and muscular power is a critical determinant of loss of physical function and progression to disability in older adults. In this study, we examined the association of systemic vascular function and measures of muscle strength and power in older adults. Measures of vascular endothelial function included brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and the...

for multi-objective optimal reactive power dispatch (morpd), a new approach is proposed where simultaneous minimization of the active power transmission loss, the bus voltage deviation and the voltage stability index of a power system are achieved. optimal settings of continuous and discrete control variables (e.g. generator voltages, tap positions of tap changing transformers and the number of...

the length of equal minimal and maximal blocks has eected on logarithm-scale logarithm against sequential function on variance and bias of de-trended uctuation analysis, by using quasi monte carlo(qmc) simulation and cholesky decompositions, minimal block couple and maximal are founded which are minimum the summation of mean error square in horest power.
