Determining the effective sample size of a parametric prior.
We present a definition for the effective sample size of a parametric prior distribution in a Bayesian model, and propose methods for computing the effective sample size in a variety of settings. Our approach first constructs a prior chosen to be vague in a suitable sense, and updates this prior to obtain a sequence of posteriors corresponding to each of a range of sample sizes. We then compute...
متن کاملThe Coalescent Effective Size of Age - Structured Populations
We establish convergence to the Kingman coalescent for a class of age-structured population models with time-constant population size. Time is discrete with unit called a year. Offspring numbers in a year may depend on mother's age. 1. Introduction. The well-known coalescent process describes how family lines merge in a sample from a large population, when time is traced backward. It is a conti...
متن کاملEffective size of a fluctuating age-structured population.
Previous theories on the effective size of age-structured populations assumed a constant environment and, usually, a constant population size and age structure. We derive formulas for the variance effective size of populations subject to fluctuations in age structure and total population size produced by a combination of demographic and environmental stochasticity. Haploid and monoecious or dio...
متن کاملON INTEGRATED SEMIGROUPS AND AGE STRUCTURED MODELS IN Lp SPACES
In this paper, we first develop some techniques and results for integrated semigroups when the generator is not a Hille-Yosida operator and is non-densely defined. Then we establish a theorem of Da Prato and Sinestrari’s type for the nonhomogeneous Cauchy problem and prove a perturbation theorem. In particular, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of mild solutions fo...
متن کاملDetermining Usability Test Sample Size
Virzi (1992), Nielsen and Landauer (1993), and Lewis (1994) have published influential articles on the topic of sample size in usability testing. In these articles, the authors presented a mathematical model of problem discovery rates in usability testing. Using the problem discovery rate model, they showed that it was possible to determine the sample size needed to uncover a given proportion o...
