Variations of a Neyman and Pearson theme∗

چکیده
A symmetric version of the Neyman-Pearson test is developed for discriminating between sets of hypotheses and is extended to encompass a new formulation of the problem of parameter estimation based on finite data sets. Such problems can arise in distributed sensing and localization problems in sensor networks, where sensor data must be compressed to account for communication constraints. In this setting it is natural to focus on methods that balance coarse resolution of the estimates for achieving higher reliability.

Variations on a theme by Neyman and Pearson∗
A symmetric version of the Neyman-Pearson test is developed for discriminating between sets of hypotheses and is extended to encompass a new formulation of the problem of parameter estimation based on finite data sets. Such problems can arise in distributed sensing and localization problems in sensor networks, where sensor data must be compressed to account for communication constraints. In thi...
متن کاملDetection and Classification of Heart Premature Contractions via α-Level Binary Neyman-Pearson Radius Test: A Comparative Study
The aim of this study is to introduce a new methodology for isolation of ectopic rhythms of ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) holter data via appropriate statistical analyses imposing reasonable computational burden. First, the events of the ECG signal are detected and delineated using a robust wavelet-based algorithm. Then, using Binary Neyman-Pearson Radius test, an appropriate classifie...
متن کاملModels and Statistical Inference: The Controversy between Fisher and Neyman–Pearson
The main thesis of the paper is that in the case of modern statistics, the differences between the various concepts of models were the key to its formative controversies. The mathematical theory of statistical inference was mainly developed by Ronald A. Fisher, Jerzy Neyman, and Egon S. Pearson. Fisher on the one side and Neyman–Pearson on the other were involved often in a polemic controversy....
متن کاملOn the Neyman–pearson Problem for Law-invariant Risk Measures and Robust Utility Functionals1 by Alexander Schied
Motivated by optimal investment problems in mathematical finance, we consider a variational problem of Neyman–Pearson type for law-invariant robust utility functionals and convex risk measures. Explicit solutions are found for quantile-based coherent risk measures and related utility functionals. Typically, these solutions exhibit a critical phenomenon: If the capital constraint is below some c...
متن کاملPerformance of the Neyman-Pearson Receiver for a Binary Thermal Coherent State Signal
The performance of the quantum NeymanPearson receiver for a binary coherent state signal in the presence of thermal noise is numerically investigated. To see the detection sensitivity of the quantum Neyman-Pearson receiver, its receiver operating characteristics (ROC) are numerically obtained. The performance limit of the quantum Neyman-Pearson receiver is directly computed when the false alarm...
