On sample size control in sample average approximations for solving smooth stochastic programs
We consider smooth stochastic programs and develop a discrete-time optimal-control problem for adaptively selecting sample sizes in a class of algorithms based on sample average approximations (SAA). The control problem aims to minimize the expected computational cost to obtain a near-optimal solution of a stochastic program and is solved approximately using dynamic programming. The optimal-con...
متن کاملModel selection and sample size adaptation: HYPAZ trial
Pazopanib is a new cancer drug that works by limiting the growth of new blood vessels in tumours. About half of patients who take pazopanib develop high blood pressure (hypertension). This side effect can make patients have to reduce or stop their cancer treatment, and can cause other health problems. Understanding how pazopanib causes high blood pressure will help us to advise doctors how to t...
متن کاملSample size estimation in epidemiologic studies
This review basically provided a conceptual framework for sample size calculation in epidemiologic studies with various designs and outcomes. The formula requirement of sample size was drawn based on statistical principles for both descriptive and comparative studies. The required sample size was estimated and presented graphically with different effect sizes and power of statistical test at 95...
متن کاملSample size determination for logistic regression
The problem of sample size estimation is important in medical applications, especially in cases of expensive measurements of immune biomarkers. This paper describes the problem of logistic regression analysis with the sample size determination algorithms, namely the methods of univariate statistics, logistics regression, cross-validation and Bayesian inference. The authors, treating the regr...
متن کاملAn Adequate Choice of Initial Sample Size for Selection Approach
In this paper, we consider the effect of the initial sample size on the performance of a sequential approach that used in selecting a good enough simulated system, when the number of alternatives is very large. We implement a sequential approach on M/M/1 queuing system under some parameter settings, with a different choice of the initial sample sizes to explore the impacts on the performance of...
