Some remarks on the individuals-score distance and its applications to statistical inference.

Antonio Miñarro, Josep M. Oller (1992)

Qüestiió

This paper is concerned with the study of some properties of the distance between statistical individuals based on representations on the dual tangent space of a parametric manifold representation of a statistical model. Explicit expressions for distances are obtained for well-known families of distributions. We have also considered applications of the distance to parameter estimation, testing statistical hypotheses and discriminant analysis.

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.

Sufficiency in bayesian models

Konrad Furmańczyki, Wojciech Niemiro (1998)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider some fundamental concepts of mathematical statistics in the Bayesian setting. Sufficiency, prediction sufficiency and freedom can be treated as special cases of conditional independence. We give purely probabilistic proofs of the Basu theorem and related facts.

The minimun inaccuracy fuzzy estimation: An extension of the maximum likelihood principle.

Norberto Corral, M.ª Angeles Gil (1984)

Stochastica

The present paper deals with the extension of the likelihood estimation to the situation where the experimentation does not provide exact information but rather vague information.The extension process tries to achieve three fundamental objectives: the new method must be an extension of the maximum likelihood method, it has to be very simple to apply and it must allow for an interesting interpretation.These objectives are achieved herein by using the following concepts: the fuzzy information (introduced...

Towards a notion of testability

Czesław Stępniak (1992)

Applications of Mathematics

The problem of testability has been undertaken many times in the context of linear hypotheses. Almost all these considerations restricted to some algebraical conditions without reaching the nature of the problem. Therefore, a general and commonly acceptable notion of testability is still wanted. Our notion is based on a simple and natural decision theoretic requirement and is characterized in terms of the families of distributions corresponding to the null and the alternative hypothesis. Its consequences...
