Bayesian Sample Size Computing for Estimation of Binomial Proportions using p-tolerance with the Lowest Posterior Loss

Authors

  • Najaf, N
Abstract:

This paper is devoted to computing the sample size of binomial distribution with Bayesian approach. The quadratic loss function is considered and three criterions are applied to obtain p-tolerance regions with the lowest posterior loss. These criterions are: average length, average coverage and worst outcome.

Estimation of Bayesian Sample Size for Binomial Proportions Using Areas P-tolerance with Lowest Posterior Loss

STIMATION of sample size is one of the questions that we often encounter in research and applied designs. Various methods have been proposed to estimate Bayesian sample size. Freedman and Spiegelhalter [11] and Spiegelhalte et al. [12], used Bayesian approach for anticipating hypothesis testing power. Adcock [1], Pham Gia and Turkkan [10] used it for interval estimation based on normal approxim...

Bayesian Sample Size Determination with Lowest Cost by Using Numerical Methods

‎In this article‎, ‎the method of determining the optimal sample size is based on Linex asymmetric loss function and has been expressed through Bayesian method for normal‎, ‎Poisson and exponential distributions‎. ‎The desirable sample size has been calculated through numerical method‎. ‎In numerical method‎, ‎the average posterior risk is calculated and then it is added to the Lindley linear ...

Computing tolerance interval for binomial random variable

Tolerance interval is a random interval that contains a proportion of the population with a determined confidence level and is applied in many application fields such as reliability and quality control. In this educational paper, we investigate different methods for computing tolerance interval for the binomial random variable using the package Tolerance in statistical software R.

On sample size determination based on a Bayesian index of superiority for two independent binomial proportions

In clinical study, calculation for sample size is often done using the frequentist framework. However, several methods of calculation using the Bayesian framework have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a method for the determination of sample sizes using the index θ = P ( π1 > π2|X1, X2 ) , where X1 and X2 denote the binomial random variables for trials n1 and n2 and parameters π1 and π2...

Adaptive Bayesian Analysis for Binomial Proportions

We consider the problem of statistical inference of binomial proportions for non-matched, correlated samples, under the Bayesian framework. Such inference can arise when the same group is observed a different number of times on two or more inference occasions, with the aim of testing the proportion of some trait. These scenarios can occur when we are interested to infer the proportion of extrem...
