Confidence Intervals and Hypothesis Tests

Overview: Recall that a point estimator for a parameter of interest is a statistic which is a function of the random variables from which our sampling method chooses values. The properties of such an estimator, such as having a small bias or a small mean square error, are usually dependent only upon certain features of the sampling distribution of the statistic, such as its mean or variance. Ho...

Optimal Sequential Multiple Hypothesis Tests

This work deals with a general problem of testing multiple hypotheses about the distribution of a discrete-time stochastic process. Both the Bayesian and the conditional settings are considered. The structure of optimal sequential tests is characterized.

Influence tests I: ideal composite hypothesis tests, and causal semimeasures

Ratios of universal enumerable semimeasures corresponding to hypotheses are investigated as a solution for statistical composite hypotheses testing if an unbounded amount of computation time can be assumed. Influence testing for discrete timeseries is defined using generalized structural equations. Several ideal tests are introduced, and it is argued that when Halting information is transmitted...
