Bayesian average error-based approach to sample size calculations for hypothesis testing.
Under the classical statistical framework, sample size calculations for a hypothesis test of interest maintain prespecified type I and type II error rates. These methods often suffer from several practical limitations. We propose a framework for hypothesis testing and sample size determination using Bayesian average errors. We consider rejecting the null hypothesis, in favor of the alternative,...
متن کاملBayesian sample size determination under hypothesis tests.
We develop a Bayesian approach for calculating sample sizes for clinical trials under the framework of hypothesis tests. We extend the work of Weiss (The Statistician 1997; 46: 185-191) to include composite distributions for the treatment effect and the variance of the data within the null and alternative hypotheses. We select sample sizes using the Bayes factor and the averaged type I error an...
متن کاملA mixed Bayesian/Frequentist approach in sample size determination problem for clinical trials
In this paper we introduce a stochastic optimization method based ona mixed Bayesian/frequentist approach to a sample size determinationproblem in a clinical trial. The data are assumed to come from a nor-mal distribution for which both the mean and the variance are unknown.In contrast to the usual Bayesian decision theoretic methodology, whichassumes a single decision maker, our method recogni...
متن کاملObjective Bayesian Two Sample Hypothesis Testing for Online Controlled Experiments
As A/B testing gains wider adoption in the industry, more people begin to realize the limitations of the traditional frequentist null hypothesis statistical testing (NHST). The large number of search results for the query “Bayesian A/B testing” shows just how much the interest in the Bayesian perspective is growing. In recent years there are also voices arguing that Bayesian A/B testing should ...
متن کاملBayesian Fuzzy Hypothesis Testing with Imprecise Prior Distribution
This paper considers the testing of fuzzy hypotheses on the basis of a Bayesian approach. For this, using a notion of prior distribution with interval or fuzzy-valued parameters, we extend a concept of posterior probability of a fuzzy hypothesis. Some of its properties are also put into investigation. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods are also cla...
