Since the two-sample t-test presupposes equality of variances, often a preliminary F-test is advised to check this assumption. However, very large sample sizes are necessary before this procedure behaves in a satisfactory manner. In the present note this phenomenon is explained using second-order as
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating Γ1 when Yj βΌ ind N(Γj; 2 j ); j = 1; 2, are observed, the j are known and |Γ1 -Γ2|6c for a known constant c. Assuming the loss is squared error, we derive a generalized Bayes estimator which is admissible. It uses Y2 to achieve a uniformly smaller
In this paper we address the problem of estimating y 1 when Y i B ind NΓ°y i ; s 2 i Γ; i ΒΌ 1; 2; are observed and jy 1 Γ y 2 jpc for a known constant c: Clearly Y 2 contains information about y 1 : We show how the so-called weighted likelihood function may be used to generate a class of estimators t
Sequential two-sample tests when the sample size for one of the two populations is fixed is discussed. Two tests. one for comparing the means and the other for comparing variances of two normal distributions, are presented together with the test boundaries. The numerical approach of determining the
