چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of inference for a multinomial regression model in the presence of likelihood monotonicity. This paper proposes translating the multinomial regression problem into a conditional logistic regression problem, using existing techniques to reduce this conditional logistic regression problem to one with fewer observations and fewer covariates, such that probabilities for the canonical sufficient statistic of interest, conditional on remaining sufficient statistics, are identical, and translating this conditional logistic regression problem back to the multinomial regression setting. This reduced multinomial regression problem does not exhibit monotonicity of its likelihood, and so conventional asymptotic techniques can be used.

Chaotic systems are characterized by sensitivity to initial conditions, and this property can be measured by global Lyapunov exponents, which are measures of the average divergence rate of initially close trajectories. Woll (1992) introduced local Lyapunov exponents and used them to obtain two diagnostic plots for diierentiating between stochastic and deterministic time series. We extend the de...
متن کاملA practical procedure to find matching priors for frequentist inference
We present a practical way to find the matching priors proposed byWelch & Peers (1963) and Peers (1965). We investigate the use of saddlepoint approximations combined with matching priors and obtain p-values of the test of an interest parameter in the presence of nuisance parameter. The advantage of our procedure is the flexibility of choosing different initial conditions so that one can adjust...
