Comparison of asymptotic population growth rates with heterogeneous variances

Non asymptotic minimax rates of testing in signal detection with heterogeneous variances

The aim of this paper is to establish non-asymptotic minimax rates for goodness-of-fit hypotheses testing in an heteroscedastic setting. More precisely, we deal with sequences (Yj)j∈J of independent Gaussian random variables, having mean (θj)j∈J and variance (σj)j∈J . The set J will be either finite or countable. In particular, such a model covers the inverse problem setting where few results i...

Variances of Population Projections: Comparison of Two Approaches

Asymptotic approximation of nonparametric regression experiments with unknown variances

Asymptotic equivalence results for nonparametric regression experiments have always assumed that the variances of the observations are known. In practice, however the variance of each observation is generally considered to be an unknown nuisance parameter. We establish an asymptotic approximation to the nonparametric regression experiment when the value of the variance is an additional paramete...

Asymptotic variances of QTL estimators with selective DNA pooling.

Investigation on QTL-marker linkage usually requires a great number of observed recombinations, inferred from combined analysis of phenotypes and genotypes. To avoid costly individual genotyping, inferences on QTL position and effects can instead make use of marker allele frequencies. DNA pooling of selected samples makes allele frequency estimation feasible for studies involving large sample s...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
