Role of Experimental Randomization in Bayesian Statistics: An Asymptotic Theory for a Single Bayesian.
Rotation to physiological factors revised
Reconstruction of underlying physiological structures from a sequence of images is a long-standing problem which has been solved by factor analysis with a success. This paper tries to return to roots of the problem, to exploit the available findings and to propose an improved paradigm.

Sample -copula of order
In this paper we analyze the construction of -copulas including the ideas of Cuculescu and Theodorescu [5], Fredricks et al. [15], Mikusiński and Taylor [25] and Trutschnig and Fernández-Sánchez [33]. Some of these methods use iterative procedures to construct copulas with fractal supports. The main part of this paper is given in Section 3, where we introduce the sample -copula of order with , the central idea is to use the above methodologies to construct a new copula based on a sample. The...
Sample size and tolerance limits.
Several new criteria are proposed for the determination of suitable sample size for assessing the statistical tolerance limits. The application of the criteria is illustrated on the solution of some problems from the theory of errors and theory of reliability.
Sample size for testing homogeneity of two a priori dependent binomial populations using the Bayesian approach.
Sampling inference, Bayes' inference and robustness in the advancement of learning.
Scientific learning is seen as an iterative process employing Criticism and Estimation. Sampling theory use of predictive distributions for model criticism is examined and also the implications for significance tests and the theory of precise measurement. Normal theory examples and ridge estimates are considered. Predictive checking functions for transformation, serial correlation, and bad values are reviewed as is their relation with Bayesian options. Robustness is seen from a Bayesian view point...
Sampling Studies on the Behrens-Fisher Problem.
Scaling of model approximation errors and expected entropy distances
We compute the expected value of the Kullback-Leibler divergence of various fundamental statistical models with respect to Dirichlet priors. For the uniform prior, the expected divergence of any model containing the uniform distribution is bounded by a constant . For the models that we consider this bound is approached as the cardinality of the sample space tends to infinity, if the model dimension remains relatively small. For Dirichlet priors with reasonable concentration parameters the expected...
Schémas de discrétisation anticipatifs et estimation du paramètre de dérive d'une diffusion
Let YT = (Yt)t∈[0,T] be a real ergodic diffusion process which drift depends on an unkown parameter . Our aim is to estimate θ0 from a discrete observation of the process YT, (Ykδ)k=0,n, for a fixed and small δ, as T = nδ goes to infinity. For that purpose, we adapt the Generalized Method of Moments (see Hansen) to the anticipative and approximate discrete-time trapezoidal scheme, and then to Simpson's. Under some general assumptions, the trapezoidal scheme (respectively Simpson's scheme)...

Second-order approximation of the entropy in nonlinear least-squares estimation
Seemingly unrelated regression models
The cross-covariance matrix of observation vectors in two linear statistical models need not be zero matrix. In such a case the problem is to find explicit expressions for the best linear unbiased estimators of both model parameters and estimators of variance components in the simplest structure of the covariance matrix. Univariate and multivariate forms of linear models are dealt with.
Selection in parametric models via some stepdown procedures
The paper considers the problem of consistent variable selection in parametic models with the use of stepdown multiple hypothesis procedures. Our approach completes the results of Bunea et al. [J. Statist. Plann. Inference 136 (2006)]. A simulation study supports the results obtained.
Selective F tests for sub-normal models
F tests that are specially powerful for selected alternatives are built for sub-normal models. In these models the observation vector is the sum of a vector that stands for what is measured with a normal error vector, both vectors being independent. The results now presented generalize the treatment given by Dias (1994) for normal fixed-effects models, and consider the testing of hypothesis on the ordering of mean values and components.
Selective generalized F tests
Generalized F tests were introduced by Michalski and Zmyślony (1996) for variance components and later (1999) for linear functions of parameters in mixed linear models. We now use generalized polar coordinates to obtain, for the second case, tests that are more powerful for selected families of alternatives.

Sensitivity analysis in singular mixed linear models with constraints
The singular mixed linear model with constraints is investigated with respect to an influence of inaccurate variance components on a decrease of the confidence level. The algorithm for a determination of the boundary of the insensitivity region is given. It is a set of all shifts of variance components values which make the tolerated decrease of the confidence level only. The problem about geometrical characterization of the confidence domain is also presented.
Sensitivity analysis of -estimators of non-linear regression models
An asymptotic formula for the difference of the -estimates of the regression coefficients of the non-linear model for all observations and for observations is presented under conditions covering the twice absolutely continuous -functions. Then the implications for the -estimation of the regression model are discussed.
