Confidence intervals with fixed proportional accuracy
(Elsevier, 1986-1987)
The problem of setting a confidence interval with fixed proportional accuracy for the mean of a normal distribution is considered. A sequential procedure is proposed; and asymptotic expansions for its average coverage ...
Singh's theorem in the lattice case
(Elsevier, 1988-12)
The asymptotic behavior of the parametric bootstrap estimator of the sampling distribution of a maximum likelihood estimator is investigated in a simple lattice case, integer valued random variables whose distributions ...
A.P.O. rules are asymptotically non deficient for estimation with squared error loss
(Springer-Verlag, 1981-09)
The problem considered is sequential estimation of the mean θ of a one-parameter exponential family of distributions with squared error loss for estimation error and a cost c >0 for each of an i.i.d. sequence of potential ...
Developing multicomponent interventions using fractional factorial designs
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2009-09-20)
Multicomponent interventions composed of behavioral, delivery, or implementation factors in addition to medications are becoming increasingly common in health sciences. A natural experimental approach to developing and ...
On the weak convergence of stochastic processes without discontinuities of the second kind
(Springer-Verlag, 1968-03)
Subspaces D α , α > 0, of D [0, 1] are defined and given complete metrics d α which are stronger than the Prokhorov metric. The spaces ( D α d α ) are shown to be separable, and their pre-compact subsets are characterized. ...
Model-based estimates of the finite population mean for two-stage cluster samples with unit non-response
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-01)
Isotonic smoothing splines under sequential designs
(Elsevier, 1994-01)
Isotonic smoothing splines are introduced as a natural extension of ordinary isotonic estimates in the estimation of a regression function [mu](x)=E{Y|X=x}. A constructive characterization for the isotonic smoothing splines ...
A Profile Conditional Likelihood Approach for the Semiparametric Transformation Regression Model with Missing Covariates
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-09)
We propose a profile conditional likelihood approach to handle missing covariates in the general semiparametric transformation regression model. The method estimates the marginal survival function by the Kaplan-Meier ...
