Multistage Hypothesis Tests for the Mean of a Normal Distribution ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we have developed new multistage tests which guarantee prescribed level of power and are more efficient than previous tests in terms of average sampling number and the number of sampling operations. Without truncation, the maximum sampling numbers of our testing plans are absolutely bounded. Based on geometrical arguments, we have derived extremely tight bounds for the operating characteristic function.

HYPOTHESIS TESTING FOR AN EXCHANGEABLE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
Consider an exchangeable normal vector with parameters ????2, and ?. On the basis of a vector observation some tests about these parameters are found and their properties are discussed. A simulation study for these tests and a few nonparametric tests are presented. Some advantages and disadvantages of these tests are discussed and a few applications are given.
متن کاملComparison between Frequentist Test and Bayesian Test to Variance Normal in the Presence of Nuisance Parameter: One-sided and Two-sided Hypothesis
This article is concerned with the comparison P-value and Bayesian measure for the variance of Normal distribution with mean as nuisance paramete. Firstly, the P-value of null hypothesis is compared with the posterior probability when we used a fixed prior distribution and the sample size increases. In second stage the P-value is compared with the lower bound of posterior probability when the ...
متن کاملTESTING STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES UNDER FUZZY DATA AND BASED ON A NEW SIGNED DISTANCE
This paper deals with the problem of testing statisticalhypotheses when the available data are fuzzy. In this approach, wefirst obtain a fuzzy test statistic based on fuzzy data, and then,based on a new signed distance between fuzzy numbers, we introducea new decision rule to accept/reject the hypothesis of interest.The proposed approach is investigated for two cases: the casewithout nuisance p...
متن کاملExact hypothesis testing and confidence interval for mean of the exponential distribution under Type-I progressive hybrid censoring
Censored samples are discussed in experiments of life-testing; i.e. whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of all units placed on a life test. In recent years, inference based on censored sampling is considered, so that about the parameters of various distributions such as normal, exponential, gamma, Rayleigh, Weibull, log normal, inverse Gaussian, ...
متن کاملRobust tests for testing the parameters of a normal population
This article aims to provide a simple robust method to test the parameters of a normal population by using the new diagnostic tool called the “Forward Search” (FS) method. The most commonly used procedures to test the mean and variance of a normal distribution are Student’s t test and Chi-square test, respectively. These tests suffer from the presence of outliers. We introduce the FS version of...
