Fiducial inference on the largest mean of a multivariate normal distribution

Accurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution

Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...

Screening for a Multivariate Mixture Normal Distribution

Comparing Mean Vectors Via Generalized Inference in Multivariate Log-Normal Distributions

Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of means in several multivariate log-normal distributions and propose a useful method called as generalized variable method. Simulation studies show that suggested method has a appropriate size and power regardless sample size. To evaluation this method, we compare this method with traditional MANOVA such that the actual sizes of the two methods ...

Estimation of the Multivariate Normal Mean under the Extended Reflected Normal Loss Function

On combining correlated estimators of the common mean of a multivariate normal distribution

The inferential procedures based on an optimal combination of correlated estimators of the common mean of a multivariate normal distribution are considered. Exact properties of the conditional and unconditional confidence intervals due to Halperin [Halperin, 1961, Almost linearly-optimum combination of unbiased estimates. Journal of the American Statistical Association, 56, 36–43] are numerical...
