摘要:Bayesian estimation of a very general model class, where the distribution of the observations depends on a latent process laking values in a discrete state space, is discussed in this article. This model class covers finite mixture modeling, Markov switching autoregressive modeling. and dynamic linear models with switching. The consequences the unidentifiability of this type of model has on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation are explicitly dealt with. Joint Bayesian estimation of all l...

摘要:Statistical modeling and analysis have been applied to different music-related fields, including sound synthesis and analysis. Sound can be represented as a real-valued function of time. This function can be sampled at a sufficiently small rate such that the resulting discrete version is a good approximation of the continuous version, thus enabling the study of musical sounds as a discrete rime series, an entity for which many statistical techniques are available. Physical modeling suggests th...

摘要:Payphones, parking meters, and vending machines illustrate the modem business practice of substituting machinery for manpower. They do nor eliminate manual labor completely, because full coin-boxes still must be replaced and vending machines still must be stocked. Deciding when to replace a coin-box is important, with unequal losses resulting from underestimation and overestimation. This article derives optimal methodology for this problem by incorporating collection history and specifying com...

摘要:We introduce the two-way balanced one-level rotation design for which balancing is done on interview time in sample and in rotation group and provide the necessary and sufficient condition for the two-way balancing and an algorithm to construct such design. Using this design, we obtain generalized composite estimators (GCE) and the minimum variance linear unbiased estimator (MVLUE). We then calculate their variance and mean squared error (MSE) when there exist two types of correlations and the...

摘要:We develop test statistics to test hypotheses in nonlinear weighted regression models with serial correlation or conditional heteroscedasticity of unknown form. The novel aspect is that these tests are simple and do not require the use of heteroseedasticity autocorrelation-consistent (HAC) covariance matrix estimators. Th-is new class of tests uses stochastic transformations to eliminate nuisance parameters as a substitute for consistently estimating the nuisance parameters. We derive the limi...

摘要:Certain clusters may be extremely influential on survey estimates and consequently contribute disproportionately to their variance, We propose a general approach to estimation that downweights highly influential clusters, with the amount of downweighting based on M-estimation applied to the empirical influence of the clusters, The method is motivated by a problem in census coverage estimation, and we illustrate it by using data from the 1990 Post Enumeration Survey (PES). in this context, an o...

摘要:Several new tests are proposed for examining the adequacy of a family of parametric models against large nonparametric alternatives. These tests formally check if the bias vector of residuals from parametric fts is negligible by using the adaptive Neyman test and other methods. The testing procedures formalize the traditional model diagnostic tools based on residual plots. We examine the rates of contiguous alternatives that can be detected consistently by the adaptive Neyman test. Application...
