A stopping rule for a compound poisson random variable

An optimal empirical Bayesian stopping rule for the Poisson compounded with the geometric distribution is developed and applied to the problem of the sequential testing of computer software. For each checkpoint in time, either the software satisfies a desired economic criterion, or else the software testing is continued.     

The Wiener Sequential Testing Problem with Finite Horizon

We present a solution of the Bayesian problem of sequential testing of two simple hypotheses about the mean value of an observed Wiener process on the time interval with finite horizon. The method of proof is based on reducing the initial optimal stopping problem to a parabolic free-boundary problem where the continuation region is determined by two continuous curved boundaries. By means of the change-of-variable formula containing the local time of a diffusion process on curves we show that the optimal boundaries can be characterized as a unique solution of the coupled system of two nonlinear integral equations.     

An innovative Bayesian sequential censored sampling inspection method and application to test design

This paper proposes an innovative Bayesian sequential censored sampling inspection method to improve the inspection level and reduce the sample size in acceptance test plans for continuous lots. A mathematical model of Bayesian sequential censored sampling is built, where a new inspection parameter is created and two types of risk are modified. As the core of Bayesian risk formulas, a new structure method of the prior distribution is presented by combining the empirical distribution with the uncertainty of the estimation. To improve the fitting accuracy of parameter estimation, an adaptive genetic algorithm is applied and compared with different parameter estimation methods. In the prior distribution, a prior estimator is introduced to design a sampling plan for continuous lots. Then, three types of producer's and consumer's risks are derived and compared. The simulation results indicate that the modified Bayesian sampling method performs well, with the lowest risks and the smallest sample size. Finally, a new sequential censored sampling plan for continuous lots is designed for the accuracy acceptance test of an aircraft. The test results show that compared with the traditional single sampling plan, the sample size is reduced by 66.7%, saving a vast amount of test costs.     

Bayesian sequential testing for Lévy processes with diffusion and jump components

We study the Bayesian problem of sequential testing of two simple hypotheses about the Lévy-Khintchine triplet of a Lévy process, having diffusion component, represented by a Brownian motion with drift, and jump component of finite variation. The method of proof consists of reducing the original optimal stopping problem to a free-boundary problem. We show it is characterized by a second order integro-differential equation, that the unknown value function solves on the continuation region, and by the smooth fit principle, which holds at the unknown boundary points. Several examples are presented.

Asymptotically optimal Bayesian sequential change detection and identification rules

We study the joint problem of sequential change detection and multiple hypothesis testing. Suppose that the common distribution of a sequence of i.i.d. random variables changes suddenly at some unobservable time to one of finitely many distinct alternatives, and one needs to both detect and identify the change at the earliest possible time. We propose computationally efficient sequential decision rules that are asymptotically either Bayes-optimal or optimal in a Bayesian fixed-error-probability formulation, as the unit detection delay cost or the misdiagnosis and false alarm probabilities go to zero, respectively. Numerical examples are provided to verify the asymptotic optimality and the speed of convergence.     

A Gridding Method for Bayesian Sequential Decision Problems

This article introduces a numerical method for finding optimal or approximately optimal decision rules and corresponding expected losses in Bayesian sequential decision problems. The method, based on the classical backward induction method, constructs a grid approximation to the expected loss at each decision time, viewed as a function of certain statistics of the posterior distribution of the parameter of interest. In contrast with most existing techniques, this method has a computation time which is linear in the number of stages in the sequential problem. It can also be applied to problems with insufficient statistics for the parameters of interest. Furthermore, it is well-suited to be implemented using parallel processors.     

APPLICATION OF BAYESIAN STATISTICAL INFERENCE AND DECISION THEORY TO A FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IN NATURAL RESOURCE SCIENCE: THE ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF AN ENDANGERED SPECIES

Abstract A fundamental problem of interest to contemporary natural resource scientists is that of assessing whether a critical population parameter such as population proportion p has been maintained above (or below) a specified critical threshold level p_c. This problem has been traditionally analyzed using frequentist estimation of parameters with confidence intervals or frequentist hypothesis testing. Bayesian statistical analysis provides an alternative approach that has many advantages. It has a more intuitive interpretation, providing probability assessments of parameters. It provides the Bayesian logic of “if (data), then probability (parameters)” rather than the frequentist logic of “if (parameters), then probability (data).” It provides a sequential, cumulative, scientific approach to analysis, using prior information and reassessing the probability distribution of parameters for adaptive management decision making. It has been integrated with decision theory and provides estimates of risk. Natural resource scientists have the opportunity of using Bayesian statistical analysis to their advantage now that this alternative approach to statistical inference has become practical and accessible.

A new Bayesian procedure for testing point null hypotheses

Testing point null hypotheses is a very common activity in various applied situations. However, the existing Bayesian testing procedure may give evidence which does not agree with the classical frequentist p-value in many point null testing situations. A typical example for this is the well known Lindley’s paradox (Lindley in Biometrika 44:187–192, 1957). In this paper we propose an alternative testing procedure in the Bayesian framework. It is shown that for many classical testing examples, the Bayesian evidence derived by our new testing procedure is not contradictory to its frequentist counterpart any more. In fact, the new Bayesian evidence under the noninformative prior is usually coincident with the frequentist observed significance level.
