Efficient three-stage t-tests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Three-stage t-tests of separated one-sided hypotheses are derived, extending Lorden’s optimal three-stage tests for the one-dimensional exponential family by using Lai and Zhang’s generalization of Schwarz’s optimal fully-sequential tests to the multiparameter exponential family. The resulting three-stage t-tests are shown to be asymptotically optimal, achieving the same average sample size as optimal fully-sequential tests.

Two-stage algorithms for covering array construction
Modern software systems often consist of many different components, each with a number of options. Although unit tests may reveal faulty options for individual components, functionally correct components may interact in unforeseen ways to cause a fault. Covering arrays are used to test for interactions among components systematically. A two-stage framework, providing a number of concrete algori...
متن کاملImproved Combinatorial Group Testing Algorithms for Real-World Problem Sizes
We study practically efficient methods for performing combinatorial group testing. We present efficient non-adaptive and two-stage combinatorial group testing algorithms, which identify the at most d items out of a given set of n items that are defective, using fewer tests for all practical set sizes. For example, our two-stage algorithm matches the information theoretic lower bound for the num...

متن کاملEffect of Zn deficiency stress on expression pattern of genes encoding bZIP4, bZIP79 and bZIP97 transcription factors in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars
A factorial experiment (based on completely randomized design) with three replications was conducted in faculty of agriculture of Urmia University, Iran in 2016 to investigate the effect of soil Zn deficiency on the expression of genes encoding bZIP4, bZIP79 and bZIP97 transcription factors in Zn-efficient and Zn-inefficient bread wheat cultivars. Cv. Bayat (Zn-efficient) and cv. Hirmand (Zn-in...
متن کاملThe sensitivity and specificity of TOP, FDP and GDX in screening for early glaucoma.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of three screening tests in detecting glaucoma in its early stage: the Tendency Oriented Perimetry (TOP) and Frequency Doubling Perimetry (FDP) visual field tests, and the Glaucoma Diagnostic (GDx) nerve fibre layer analyser. Eighteen patients with glaucoma who showed an early defect on HFA c 24-2 and twenty normals underwent the three test...
