โฆ Synopsis
Estimation
and inference for dependent trials are important issues in response-adaptive allocation designs; maximum likelihood estimation is one route of interest. We present three nova1 response-driven designs and derive their maximum likelihood estimators. We also provide convenient regularity conditions that ensure the maximum likelihood estimator from a multiparameter stochastic process exists and is asymptotically multivariate normal. While these conditions may not be the most general, they are easily verified for our applications.

For \(k\) normal populations with unknown means \(\mu_{i}\) and unknown variances \(\sigma_{t}^{2}\), \(i=1, \ldots, k\), assume that there are some order restrictions among the means and variances, respectively, for example, simple order restrictions: \(\mu_{1} \leqslant \mu_{2} \leqslant \cdots \l
