โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

This note considers the optimal and suboptimal sequential and fixed sample size estimation of the unknown binomial parameter, p, for a beta prior distribution for p and under quadratic loss and constant observation cost. A numerical comparison of the methods is presented.

In this paper we compare MWRCK, a cokriging method, with LSZ, a Bayesian alternative. We test the methods for using the monthly NO 3 and SO 4 levels observed from 1983 to 1986 at 45 sites over the conterminous United States. Our simulation study suggests the LSZ predictor yields smaller overall mean

## Abstract The objective of this study was to develop methods to estimate the optimal threshold of a longitudinal biomarker and its credible interval when the diagnostic test is based on a criterion that reflects a dynamic progression of that biomarker. Two methods are proposed: one parametric and
