چکیده
We consider a permutation method for testing whether observations given in their natural pairing exhibit an unusual level of similarity in situations where any two observations may be similar at some unknown baseline level. Under a null hypotheses where there is no distinguished pairing of the observations, a normal approximation with explicit bounds and rates is presented for determining approximate critical test levels.

Miller and Sanjurjo (2015) suggest that many analyses of the hot hand and the gambler’s fallacies are subject to a bias. The purpose of this note is to describe our understanding of their main point in terms we hope are simpler and more accessible to non-mathematicians than is the original.
متن کاملStochastic comparisons of stratified sampling techniques for some Monte Carlo estimators
We compare estimators of the (essential) supremum and the integral of a function f defined on a measurable space when f may be observed at a sample of points in its domain, possibly with error. The estimators compared vary in their levels of stratification of the domain, with the result that more refined stratification is better with respect to different criteria. The emphasis is on criteria re...
متن کاملFunctional BKR Inequalities, and their Duals, with Applications
Abstract The inequality conjectured by van den Berg and Kesten in [9], and proved by Reimer in [6], states that for A and B events on S, a finite product of finite sets, and P any product measure on S, P (A B) ≤ P (A)P (B), where the set A B consists of the elementary events which lie in both A and B for ‘disjoint reasons.’ This inequality on events is the special case, for indicator functions,...
متن کاملProposal for summer course in Cortona : Introduction to distribution approximations and Stein’s method
A large number of applications in probability, statistics, biology, mathematical physics, computer science, and many other areas rely on approximations of distributions based on limiting results as a parameter, often a sample size, tends to infinity. The best known example is surely the Central Limit Theorem (CLT), which is used to justify the normal approximation in many contexts. A companion ...
متن کاملPrediction of Ordered Random Effects in a Simple Small Area Model
Prediction of a vector of ordered parameters or part of it arises naturally in the context of Small Area Estimation (SAE). For example, one may want to estimate the parameters associated with the top ten areas, the best or worst area, or a certain percentile. We use a simple SAE model to show that estimation of ordered parameters by the corresponding ordered estimates of each area separately do...
