摘要:This paper studies a class of default priors, which we call single observation unbiased priors (SOUP). A prior for a parameter is a SOUP if the corresponding posterior mean of the parameter based on a single observation is an unbiased estimator of the parameter. We prove that, under mild regularity conditions, a default prior for a convolution parameter is noninformative in the sense of yielding a posterior inference invariant under amalgamation only if it is a SOUP. Therefore, when amalgamati...

摘要:We suggest two new, translation-based methods for estimating and correcting for bias when estimating the edge of a distribution. The first uses an empirical translation applied to the argument of the kernel, in order to remove the main effects of the asymmetries that are inherent when constructing estimators at boundaries. Placing the translation inside the kernel is in marked contrast to traditional approaches, such as the use of high-order kernels, which are related to the jackknife and, in ...

摘要:Consider an NEF F on the real line parametrized by theta is an element of Theta. Also let 00 be a specified value of theta. Consider the test of size alpha for a simple hypothesis H-0:theta = theta(0) versus two sided alternative H-1:theta not equal theta(0). A UMPU test of size alpha then exists for any given alpha. Suppose that F is continuous. Therefore the UMPU test is nonrandomized and then becomes comparable with the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLR). Under mild conditions we show ...

摘要:Finite projective geometry is used to obtain fractional factorial plans for m-level symmetrical factorial experiments, where m is a prime or a prime power. Under a model that includes the mean, all main effects and a specified set of two-factor interactions, the plans are shown to be universally optimal within the class of all plans involving the same number of runs.
