It shows the importance of the use of Monte Carlo experiments through refined descriptive sampling within the autoregressive model , where and the errors are independent random variables following an exponential distribution of parameter θ. To achieve this, a Bayesian Autoregressive Adaptive Refined Descriptive Sampling (B2ARDS) algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters ρ and θ of such a model by a Bayesian method. We have used the same prior as the one already used by some authors, and computed their properties when the Normality error assumption is released to an exponential distribution. The results show that B2ARDS algorithm provides accurate and efficient point estimates.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"7 1","pages":"177 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42005573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They ingeniously proved the asymptotic normality of the MV test statistic when R diverges to infinity, which brings many merits to the MV test, including making it more convenient for independence testing when R is large. This paper considers a new test called the integral Pearson chi-square (IPC) test, whose test statistic can be viewed as a modified MV test statistic. A central limit theorem of the martingale difference is used to show that the asymptotic null distribution of the standardized IPC test statistic when R is diverging is also a normal distribution, rendering the IPC test sharing many merits with the MV test. As an application of such a theoretical finding, the IPC test is extended to test independence between continuous random variables. The finite sample performance of the proposed test is assessed by Monte Carlo simulations, and a real data example is presented for illustration.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"7 1","pages":"235 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42988102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first case of COVID-19 was reported in Ontario on 25 January 2020. Since then, there have been over million cases by now. During this time period, the federal, provincial and local governments have implemented regulations and policies in order to control the pandemic. To evaluate these government policies, which may be done by analysing the infection rate, infection period and reproductive number of COVID-19, we approach the problem by introducing an extended susceptible-exposed-infectious-removed (SEIR) model and conduct the model inference by using the iterated filter ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (IF-EAKF) algorithm. We first divide the time period into phases according to the policy intensities in each province by segmenting the time period from 4 March 2020 to 31 October 2020 into three time phases: the exploding phase, the strict policy implementation phase, and the provincial reopening phase. We then use IF-EAKF algorithm to obtain the estimates of the model parameters. We show that the infection rate in the second phase is lower than that in both first and third phases. We also discuss the number of new COVID-19 cases under different policy intensities and different policy durations in the third wave of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"7 1","pages":"223 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49622158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the study units are individual patients, this ‘one patient, one vote’ principle needs to be followed – both in study design and in data analysis. From the physicians' point of view, each patient is equally important, and they need to be treated equally in data analysis. It is critical that statistical analysis should respect design and study design is based on randomization. Hence from both statistical and medical points of view, data analysis needs to follow this ‘one patient, one vote’ principle. Under ICH E9 (R1), five strategies are recommended to establish ‘estimand’. This paper discusses how to implement these strategies using the ‘one patient, one vote’ principle.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"7 1","pages":"202 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49450070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, the availability and high cost of experimental subjects in these fields prefer the design in fewer experimental units. However, balancing the carryover effects of the treatments in minimal experimental subjects is one of the problems in this case. In this paper, several new series of minimal circular nearly strongly balanced RMDs in periods of two and three different sizes are constructed. The proposed construction of designs has high efficiency and, therefore, can save the cost of experimentations due to a fewer experimental subjects. Most of the designs are very useful because of the unavailability of strongly balanced RMDs for these combinations of parameters. A list of sets of shifts for the construction of minimal circular nearly SBRMDs has also been mentioned in the Appendix.","PeriodicalId":22070,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Theory and Related Fields","volume":"7 1","pages":"121 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47136108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
