Testing New Hypotheses Regarding Ebolavirus Reservoirs
Despite a relatively long search for the origin of ebolaviruses, their reservoirs remain elusive. Researchers might have to consider testing alternative hypotheses about how these viruses persist and emerge to advance ebolavirus research. This article aims to encourage researchers to bring forward such hypotheses, to discuss them scientifically and to open alternative research avenues regarding...
متن کاملRobustness Evaluation in Sequential Testing of Composite Hypotheses
The problem of sequential testing of composite hypotheses is considered. Asymptotic expansions are constructed for the conditional error probabilities and expected sample sizes under “contamination” of the probability distribution of observations. To obtain these results a new approach based on approximation of the generalized likelihood ratio statistic by a specially constructed Markov chain i...
متن کاملTesting fuzzy hypotheses with vague data
The problem of testing fuzzy hypotheses in the presence of vague data is considered. A new method based on the necessity index of strict dominance (NSD) is suggested. An example hoe to apply the proposed test in statistical quality control is shown.
متن کاملViolations of robustness trade-offs
Biological robustness is a principle that may shed light on system-level characteristics of biological systems. One intriguing aspect of the concept of biological robustness is the possible existence of intrinsic trade-offs among robustness, fragility, performance, and so on. At the same time, whether such trade-offs hold regardless of the situation or hold only under specific conditions warran...
متن کاملFitting nature's basic functions. II. Estimating uncertainties and testing hypotheses
E(∈) = 0, E(∈∈ T) = Σ 2. (1) Here, y is an m-vector of measurements, α* is an n-vector of unknown parameters (with n ≤ m), Φ is the m × n least-squares matrix (with linearly independent columns that do not depend on α*), and ∈ is an m-vector of random errors with expected value 0 and m × m positive definite variance matrix Σ 2. When Σ 2 is not known, we usually assume that Σ 2 = σ 2
