偏差与依赖并存时的横截面样本估计AI 解读

A population can be entered at a known sequence of discrete times; it is sampled cross-sectionally, and the sojourn times of individuals in the sample are observed. It is well known that cross-sectioning leads to length-bias, but less well known and often ignored that it may also result in dependence among the observations. We show that observed sojourn times are independent only under a multinomial entrance process. We study asymptotic properties of parametric and…

最大化二元响应两样本检验功效的最优分配AI 解读

We study allocations that maximize the power of tests of equality of two treatments having binary outcomes. When a normal approximation applies, the asymptotic power is maximized by minimizing the variance, leading to a Neyman allocation that assigns observations in proportion to the standard deviations. This allocation, which in general requires knowledge of the parameters of the problem, is recommended in a large body of literature. Under contiguous alternatives the normal…
