✍ Yuedong Wang 📂 Article 📅 1998 🏛 Elsevier Science 🌐 English ⚖ 265 KB

Bayesian confidence intervals of a smoothing spline are often used to distinguish two curves. In this paper, we provide an asymptotic formula for sample-size calculations based on Bayesian confidence intervals. Approximations and simulations on special functions indicate that this asymptotic formula

We offer an approximation to central confidence intervals for directly standardized rates, where we assume that the rates are distributed as a weighted sum of independent Poisson random variables. Like a recent method proposed by Dobson, Kuulasmaa, Eberle and Scherer, our method gives exact interval
