Sequential risk-efficient estimation of the parameter in the uniform density.
We study the stability of the classical optimal sequential probability ratio test based on independent identically distributed observations when testing two simple hypotheses about their common density : versus . As a functional to be minimized, it is used a weighted sum of the average (under ) 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 with the density . For being the corresponding...
In statistical inference on the drift parameter in the Wiener process with a constant drift there is a large number of options how to do it. We may, for example, base this inference on the properties of the standard normal distribution applied to the differences between the observed values of the process at discrete times. Although such methods are very simple, it turns out that more appropriate is to use the sequential methods. For the hypotheses testing about the drift parameter it is more...
