Bayesian 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 کاملGaussian Processes for Bayesian hypothesis tests on regression functions
Gaussian processes have been used in different application domains such as classification, regression etc. In this paper we show that they can also be employed as a universal tool for developing a large variety of Bayesian statistical hypothesis tests for regression functions. In particular, we will use GPs for testing whether (i) two functions are equal; (ii) a function is monotone (even accou...
متن کاملThe frequentist implications of optional stopping on Bayesian hypothesis tests.
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) is the most commonly used statistical methodology in psychology. The probability of achieving a value as extreme or more extreme than the statistic obtained from the data is evaluated, and if it is low enough, the null hypothesis is rejected. However, because common experimental practice often clashes with the assumptions underlying NHST, these calcul...
متن کاملBayesian t tests for accepting and rejecting the null hypothesis.
Progress in science often comes from discovering invariances in relationships among variables; these invariances often correspond to null hypotheses. As is commonly known, it is not possible to state evidence for the null hypothesis in conventional significance testing. Here we highlight a Bayes factor alternative to the conventional t test that will allow researchers to express preference for ...
متن کاملSpecification Tests of Calibrated Option Pricing Models
In spite of the popularity of model calibration in nance, empirical researchers have put more emphasis on model estimation than on the equally important goodness-of- t problem. This is due partly to the ignorance of modelers, and more to the ability of existing statistical tests to detect speci cation errors. In practice, models are often calibrated by minimizing the sum of squared di¤erence b...
