Improved estimation of an exponential scale ratio based on records
We consider the problem of estimating the ratio [theta] of the scale parameters of two shifted exponential distributions with unknown shifts, based on two independent samples of records drawn from...
Bayes inference for treatment effects with uncertain order constraints
Madi, Mohamed T., Leonard, Thomas, Tsui, Kam-Wah
Constrained parameter situations arise in a wide variety of practical problems and the corresponding order restricted inference has been extensively researched. In previous work, order restrictions...
Alternative estimators for the variance of several normal populations
The problem of interest is to estimate the common variance of k (k [greater-or-equal, slanted] 2) normal populations with possibly different means, based on k independent samples from these...
