Nonparametric predictive utility inference
This work considers the combination of two strands of recent statistical research: that of decision making with uncertain utility and that of nonparametric predictive inference. In doing so we discuss the use of Nonparametric Predictive Utility Inference (NPUI) within a sequential decision selection problem for the situation of a Decision Maker (DM) who is confronted with a choice set that incl...
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Inference
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical method based on Hill’s assumption A(n) [13], which gives a direct conditional probability for a future observable random quantity, conditional on observed values of related random quantities [1, 3]. Suppose that X1, . . . , Xn, Xn+1 are continuous and exchangeable random quantities. Let the ordered observed values of X1, . . . , Xn be de...
متن کاملOn Nonparametric Predictive Inference for Ordinal Data
Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a powerful frequentist statistical framework based only on an exchangeability assumption for future and past observations, made possible by the use of lower and upper probabilities. In this paper, NPI is presented for ordinal data, which are categorical data with an ordering of the categories. The method uses a latent variable representation of the ob...
متن کاملNonparametric Predictive Inference for System Reliability
This thesis provides a new method for statistical inference on system reliability on the basis of limited information resulting from component testing. This method is called Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI). We present NPI for system reliability, in particular NPI for k-out-of-m systems, and for systems that consist of multiple k-out-of-m subsystems in series configuration. The algorith...
متن کاملNonparametric predictive inference for voting systems
We present upper and lower probabilities for reliability of voting systems, also known as k-outof-m systems, which include seriesand parallel-systems. We restrict attention to systems with identical components. These interval probabilities are based on the nonparametric predictive inferential (NPI) approach for Bernoulli data presented by Coolen (1998). In this approach, it is assumed that test...
