摘要:This paper generalizes Kushner's method for finding optimal repeated measurements designs to find optimal designs under an interference model. The model we assume is for a one-dimensional layout without guard plots and with different left and right neighbor effects. The resulting optimal designs may need many blocks or may not even exist as a finite design. The results give lower bounds for optimality criteria on finite designs and the design structure can be used to suggest efficient small de...

摘要:We consider the situation where one has to maximize a function eta(theta, x) with respect to x is an element of R-q, when a is unknown and estimated by least squares through observations y(k) = f(inverted perpendicular)(x(k))theta + epsilon (k), with epsilon (k) some random error. Classical applications are regulation and extremum control problems. The approach we adopt corresponds to maximizing the sum of the current estimated objective and a penalization for poor estimation: x(k+1) maximizes...

摘要:This paper addresses the topic of model selection in regression. We emphasize the case of two models, testing which model provides a better prediction based on n observations. Within a family of selection rules, based on maximizing a penalized log-likelihood under a normal model, we search for asymptotically minimax rules over a class G of possible joint distributions of the explanatory and response variables. For the class g of multivariate normal joint distributions it is shown that asymptot...

摘要:The probability distribution of the cascade generators in a random multiplicative cascade represents a hidden parameter which is reflected in the fine scale limiting behavior of the scaling exponents (sample moments) of a single sample cascade realization as a.s. constants. We identify a large class of cascade generators uniquely determined by these scaling exponents. For this class we provide both asymptotic consistency and confidence intervals for two different estimators of the cumulant gen...

摘要:Motivated by the study of an important data set for understanding the large-scale structure of the universe, this work considers the estimation of the reduced second-moment function, or K function, of a stationary point process on R observed over a large number of segments of possibly varying lengths. Theory and simulation are used to compare the behavior of isotropic and rigid motion correction estimators and some modifications of these estimators. These results generally support the use of m...

摘要:We study the continuous time analogue of the Bayes problem of Poor. As usual the results on the optimal solution are more explicit than in the discrete time set-up.

摘要:The Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) estimates the order of a Markov chain (with finite alphabet A) from observation of a sample path x(1), x(2), ..., x(n), as that value k = (k) over cap that minimizes the sum of the negative logarithm of the kth order maximum likelihood and the penalty term \A\(k)(\A\-1)/2. We show that (k) over cap equals the correct order of the chain, eventually almost surely as it --> infinity, thereby strengthening earlier consistency results that assumed an apriori...

摘要:In the common polynomial regression model of degree m we consider the problem of determining the D- and D-1-optimal designs subject to certain constraints for the D-1-efficiencies in the models of degree m - j, m - j + 1..... m + k(m > j greater than or equal to 0, k greater than or equal to 0 given). We present a complete solution of these problems, which on the one hand allow a fast computation of the constrained optimal designs and on the other hand give an answer to the question of the exi...

摘要:Motivated by an application in computerized adaptive tests, we consider the following sequential design problem. There are J jobs to be processed according to a predetermined order. A single machine is available to process these J jobs. Each job under processing evolves stochastically as a Markov chain and earns rewards as it is processed, not otherwise. The Markov chain has transition probabilities parameterized by an unknown parameter theta. The objective is to determine how long each job sh...
