摘要：An automatic procedure that uses linear splines and their tensor products is proposed for fitting a regression model to data involving a polychotomous response variable and one or more predictors. The fitted model can be used for multiple classification. The automatic fitting procedure involves maximum likelihood estimation, stepwise addition, stepwise deletion, and model selection by the Akaike information criterion, cross-validation, or an independent test set. A modified version of the algo...

摘要：The management of a commercial fishery often requires estimates of the age composition. These estimates are typically based on age and length data obtained from sampling the commercial landings from the fishery and the catches from a research vessel survey. We use data from annual research cruises of Georges Bank conducted by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans to show how inferences for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) can be improved. Traditionally, two-phase stratified sampling is us...

摘要：In this article we propose some new notions of limiting P values for hypothesis testing. The limiting P value (LP) here not only provides the usual attractive interpretation of a P value as the strength in support of the null hypothesis coming from the observed data, but also has several advantages. First, it allows us to resample directly from the empirical distribution (in the bootstrap implementations), rather than from the estimated population distribution satisfying the null constraints. ...
