Bayes Sequential Testing
The problem of finding the Bayes sequential test of a population mean 8 ~ 8 0 versus 8 > 8 0 is a classical problem in sequential analysis. As one of the optimal stopping problems, it has been attacked by many researchers. One traditional approach is to approximate this discrete time problem by a related continuous time problem, and to use the power of analytic methods which this makes possible...
متن کاملBayes-Optimal Sequential Multi-Hypothesis Testing in Exponential Families
Bayesian sequential testing of multiple simple hypotheses is a classical sequential decision problem. But the optimal policy is computationally intractable in general, because the posterior probability space is exponentially increasing in the number of hypotheses (i.e, the curse of dimensionality in state space). We consider a specialized problem in which observations are drawn from the same ex...
متن کاملActive Sequential Hypothesis Testing
Consider a decision maker who is responsible to dynamically collect observations so as to enhance his information about an underlying phenomena of interest in a speedy manner while accounting for the penalty of wrong declaration. Due to the sequential nature of the problem, the decision maker relies on his current information state to adaptively select the most “informative” sensing action amon...
متن کاملEstimation of Software Reliability by Sequential Testing with Simulated Annealing of Mean Field Approximation
Various problems of combinatorial optimization and permutation can be solved with neural network optimization. The problem of estimating the software reliability can be solved with the optimization of failed components to its minimum value. Various solutions of the problem of estimating the software reliability have been given. These solutions are exact and heuristic, but all the exact approach...
متن کاملOptimal Hypothesis Testing: From Semi to Fully Bayes Factors.
We propose and examine statistical test-strategies that are somewhat between the maximum likelihood ratio and Bayes factor methods that are well addressed in the literature. The paper shows an optimality of the proposed tests of hypothesis. We demonstrate that our approach can be easily applied to practical studies, because execution of the tests does not require deriving of asymptotical analyt...
