未观测事件参数的置信区间AI 解读

Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a countable alphabet. Unobserved events are alphabet symbols which do not appear in the sample. Estimating the probabilities of unobserved events is a basic problem in statistics and related fields, which was extensively studied in the context of point estimation. In this work we introduce a novel interval estimation scheme for unobserved events. Our proposed framework applies selective inference, as we construct…

广义Good–Turing方法改进未观测概率质量估计AI 解读

Consider a finite sample from an unknown distribution over a countable alphabet. The missing mass refers to the probability of symbols that do not appear in the sample. Estimating the missing mass is a basic problem in statistics and related fields, which dates back to the early work of Laplace, and the more recent seminal contribution of Good and Turing. In this article, we introduce a generalized Good-Turing (GT) framework for missing mass estimation. We derive an…

多重检验问题的最优与最大最小程序AI 解读

Abstract Multiple testing problems (MTPs) are a staple of modern statistical analysis. The fundamental objective of MTPs is to reject as many false null hypotheses as possible (that is, maximize some notion of power), subject to controlling an overall measure of false discovery, like family-wise error rate (FWER) or false discovery rate (FDR). In this paper we provide generalizations to MTPs of the optimal Neyman-Pearson test for a single hypothesis. We show that for simple…
