On the two-sided quality control

František Rublík (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Let the random variable X have the normal distribution N ( μ , σ 2 ) . Explicit formulas for maximum likelihood estimator of μ , σ are derived under the hypotheses μ + c σ m + δ , μ - c σ m - δ , where c , m , δ are arbitrary fixed numbers. Asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for testing this hypothesis is derived and some of its quantiles are presented.

On unbiased Lehmann-estimators of a variance of an exponential distribution with quadratic loss function.

Jadwiga Kicinska-Slaby (1982)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

Lehmann in [4] has generalised the notion of the unbiased estimator with respect to the assumed loss function. In [5] Singh considered admissible estimators of function λ-r of unknown parameter λ of gamma distribution with density f(x|λ, b) = λb-1 e-λx xb-1 / Γ(b), x>0, where b is a known parameter, for loss function L(λ-r, λ-r) = (λ-r - λ-r)2 / λ-2r.Goodman in [1] choosing three loss functions of different shape found unbiased Lehmann-estimators, of the variance σ2 of the normal distribution....

On variance of the two-stage estimator in variance-covariance components model

Júlia Volaufová (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with a linear model with linear variance-covariance structure, where the linear function of the parameter of expectation is to be estimated. The two-stage estimator is based on the observation of the vector Y and on the invariant quadratic estimator of the variance-covariance components. Under the assumption of symmetry of the distribution and existence of finite moments up to the tenth order, an approach to determining the upper bound for the difference in variances of the estimators...

Optimal alternative robustness in Bayesian Decision Theory.

Fabrizio Ruggeri, Jacinto Martín, David Ríos Insua (2003)

RACSAM

In Martin et al (2003), we suggested an approach to general robustness studies in Bayesian Decision Theory and Inference, based on ε-contamination neighborhoods. In this note, we generalise the results considering neighborhoods based on norms, specifically, the supremum norm for utilities and the total variation norm for probability distributions. We provide tools to detect changes in preferences between alternatives under perturbations of the prior and/or the utility and the most sensitive direction....

Optimal sequential multiple hypothesis tests

Andrey Novikov (2009)

Kybernetika

This work deals with a general problem of testing multiple hypotheses about the distribution of a discrete-time stochastic process. Both the Bayesian and the conditional settings are considered. The structure of optimal sequential tests is characterized.
