Bayesian Multiple Testing under Sparsity for Polynomial-tailed Distributions

چکیده
This paper considers Bayesian multiple testing under sparsity for polynomial-tailed distributions satisfying a monotone likelihood ratio property. Included in this class of distributions are the Student’s t, the Pareto, and many other distributions. We prove some general asymptotic optimality results under fixed and random thresholding. As examples of these general results, we establish the Bayesian asymptotic optimality of several multiple testing procedures in the literature for appropriately chosen false discovery rate levels. We also show by simulation that the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure with a false discovery rate level different from the asymptotically optimal one can lead to high Bayes risk.

Adaptive Bayesian Shrinkage Estimation Using Log-Scale Shrinkage Priors
Global-local shrinkage hierarchies are an important, recent innovation in Bayesian estimation of regression models. In this paper we propose to use log-scale distributions as a basis for generating familes of flexible prior distributions for the local shrinkage hyperparameters within such hierarchies. An important property of the log-scale priors is that by varying the scale parameter one may v...
متن کاملUtilization of Statistical Structure
We present evidence that one can calculate generically combinatorially expensive L p and l p averages, 0 < p < 1, in polynomial time by restricting the data to come from a wide class of statistical distributions. Our approach differs from the approaches in the previous literature, which are based on a priori sparsity requirements or on accepting a local minimum as a replacement for a global min...
متن کاملThe Family of Scale-Mixture of Skew-Normal Distributions and Its Application in Bayesian Nonlinear Regression Models
In previous studies on fitting non-linear regression models with the symmetric structure the normality is usually assumed in the analysis of data. This choice may be inappropriate when the distribution of residual terms is asymmetric. Recently, the family of scale-mixture of skew-normal distributions is the main concern of many researchers. This family includes several skewed and heavy-tailed d...

Nonparametric control chart based on rank is used for detecting changes in median(mean). In this article ,Signed-rank control chart is considered with variable sampling interval. We compared the performance of Signed-rank with variable sampling interval (VSI-SR) to Signed-rank with Fixed Sampling interval (FSI-SR),the numerical results demonstrated the VSI feature is so useful. Bakir[1] showed ...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
