15 صفحه اولA Simple Sample Size Formula for Estimating Means of Poisson Random Variables ∗
In this paper, we derive an explicit sample size formula based a mixed criterion of absolute and relative errors for estimating means of Poisson random variables. 1 Sample Size Formula It is a frequent problem to estimate the mean value of a Poisson random variable based on sampling. Specifically, let X be a Poisson random variable with mean E[X] = λ > 0, one wishes to estimate λ as λ̂ = ∑ n i=1...
متن کاملDetermining Optimum Strata Boundaries and Sample Sizes for Skewed Population with Log-Normal Distribution
The method of choosing the best boundaries that make strata internally homogeneous as far as possible is known as optimum stratification. To achieve this, the strata should be constructed in such a way that the strata variances for the characteristic under study be as small as possible. If the frequency distribution of the study variable x is known, the Optimum Strata Boundaries (OSB) could be ...
متن کاملEstimating Pareto Tail Index Based on Sample Means
• We propose an estimator of the Pareto tail index m of a distribution, that competes well with the Hill, Pickands and moment estimators. Unlike the above estimators, that are based only on the extreme observations, the proposed estimator uses all observations; its idea rests in the tail behavior of the sample mean X̄n, having a simple structure under heavy-tailed F . The observations, partition...
متن کاملEffect Sizes Based on Means
When the outcome is reported on a meaningful scale and all studies in the analysis use the same scale, the meta-analysis can be performed directly on the raw difference in means (henceforth, we will use the more common term, raw mean difference). The primary advantage of the raw mean difference is that it is intuitively meaningful, either inherently (for example, blood pressure, which is measur...
