Stability estimating in optimal sequential hypotheses testing

Evgueni I. Gordienko, Andrey Novikov, Elena Zaitseva (2009)

Kybernetika

We study the stability of the classical optimal sequential probability ratio test based on independent identically distributed observations X 1 , X 2 , when testing two simple hypotheses about their common density f : f = f 0 versus f = f 1 . As a functional to be minimized, it is used a weighted sum of the average (under f 0 ) sample number and the two types error probabilities. We prove that the problem is reduced to stopping time optimization for a ratio process generated by X 1 , X 2 , with the density f 0 . For τ * being the corresponding...

Stability of characterizations of distribution functions using failure rate functions

Maia Koicheva, Edward Omey (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

Let λ denote the failure rate function of the d , f . F and let λ 1 denote the failure rate function of the mean residual life distribution. In this paper we characterize the distribution functions F for which λ 1 = c λ and we estimate F when it is only known that λ 1 / λ or λ 1 - c λ is bounded.

Stability of invariant linearly sufficient statistics in the general Gauss-Markov model

Andrzej Kornacki (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the inclusions J 0 J and J 0 * J * to be fulfilled where J 0 , J 0 * and J , J * are some classes of invariant linearly sufficient statistics (Oktaba, Kornacki, Wawrzosek (1988)) corresponding to the Gauss-Markov models G M 0 = ( y , X 0 β 0 , σ 0 2 V 0 ) and G M = ( y , X β , σ 2 V ) , respectively.

Stability of stochastic optimization problems - nonmeasurable case

Petr Lachout (2008)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with stability of stochastic optimization problems in a general setting. Objective function is defined on a metric space and depends on a probability measure which is unknown, but, estimated from empirical observations. We try to derive stability results without precise knowledge of problem structure and without measurability assumption. Moreover, ε -optimal solutions are considered. The setup is illustrated on consistency of a ε - M -estimator in linear regression model.

Stable hypothesis for mixed models with balanced cross-nesting

Dário Ferreira, João Tiago Mexia, Sandra Saraiva Ferreira (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Stable hypothesis are hypothesis that may refer either for the fixed part or for the random part of the model. We will consider such hypothesis for models with balanced cross-nesting. Generalized F tests will be derived. It will be shown how to use Monte-Carlo methods to evaluate p-values for those tests.

Stable-1/2 bridges and insurance

Edward Hoyle, Lane P. Hughston, Andrea Macrina (2015)

Banach Center Publications

We develop a class of non-life reserving models using a stable-1/2 random bridge to simulate the accumulation of paid claims, allowing for an essentially arbitrary choice of a priori distribution for the ultimate loss. Taking an information-based approach to the reserving problem, we derive the process of the conditional distribution of the ultimate loss. The "best-estimate ultimate loss process" is given by the conditional expectation of the ultimate loss. We derive explicit expressions for the...
