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 ...
Model fertility schedules revisited: The log-multiplicative model approach
(Elsevier, 1991-12)
This paper reconsiders Coale and Trussell's (1974) specification of model fertility schedules by age. It formally presents model fertility schedules within the framework of categorical data analysis. Specifically, births ...
The reversal of the relation between economic growth and health progress: Sweden in the 19th and 20th centuries
(2007-10)
Health progress, as measured by the decline in mortality rates and the increase in life expectancy, is usually
conceived as related to economic growth, especially in the long run. In this investigation it is shown ...
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 ...
Rumination Reconsidered: A Psychometric Analysis
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-06)
In an attempt to eliminate similar item content as an alternative explanation for the relation between depression and rumination, a secondary analysis was conducted using the data from S. Nolen-Hoeksema, J. Larson, and C. ...
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 ...
