Efficient designs for one-sided comparisons of two or three treatments with a control in a one-way layout

چکیده
The problem of providing lower confidence bounds for the mean improvements of p ≥ 2 test treatments over a control treatment is considered. The expected average and expected maximum allowances are two criteria for comparing different systems of confidence intervals or bounds. In this paper, lower bounds are derived for the expected average allowance and the expected maximum allowance of Dunnett’s simultaneous lower confidence bounds for the p mean improvements. These lower bounds hold for any p ≥ 2 and any allocation of sample sizes. For p = 2 test treatments, sample allocations are given for which the bounds are achievable. For p = 3 test treatments, a tighter set of bounds is derived which enables easy determination of the sample allocation to achieve highly efficient designs. A table of the bounds for the expected average and expected maximum allowances and the sample allocation that achieves these bounds is given for p = 2, 3. The theoretical results can easily be adapted to cover upper confidence bounds. Some key words: Control treatment; Dunnett’s critical values; Expected average allowance; Expected maximum allowance; Multiple comparisons; One-way layout; Optimal design

Optimality Status of Incomplete Layout Three-Way Balanced Designs and Optimal Designs Under Heteroscedastic Errors in Linear Regression
The setup is that of a row-column design (also called a three-way design) and the model is that of fixed effects additive model with homoscedastic errors. We say that the row and column classifications represent known heterogeneity directions and the treatment effects correspond to the third component of variation. Our primary task is to provide efficient comparisons of the treatment effects. F...

متن کاملA DEA-bases Approach for Multi-objective Design of Attribute Acceptance Sampling Plans
Acceptance sampling (AS), as one of the main fields of statistical quality control (SQC),involves a system of principles and methods to make decisions about accepting or rejecting alot or sample. For attributes, the design of a single AS plan generally requires determination ofsample size, and acceptance number. Numerous approaches have been developed foroptimally selection of design parameters...
متن کاملAn improved approach to find and rank BCC-efficient DMUs in data envelopment analysis (DEA)
Recently, a mixed integer data envelopment analysis (DEA) model has been proposed to find the most BCC-efficient (or the best) decision making unit (DMU) by Toloo (2012). This paper shows that the model may be infeasible in some cases, and when the model is feasible, it may fail to identify the most efficient DMU, correctly. We develop an improved model to find the most BCC-efficient DMU that r...
