By using the expansion, we propose a new approximation for the power of the statistic Cφ. We numerically investigate the accuracy of the approximation when two types of concrete φ-divergence statistics are applied. By the numerical investigation, we show that the present approximation is a good approximation especially when alternative hypotheses are distant from the null hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":326924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Statistical Society.

One of the most crucial problems in Bayesian modeling of SUR models is how to determine the optimal combination of predictors. In this paper, under a Bayesian hierarchical framework where each regression function is represented as a linear combination of a large number of basis functions, the regression coefficients, the variance matrix of the errors, and a set of predictors to be included in the model are estimated simultaneously. Usually the Bayesian model estimation problem is solved using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques. Herein we show how a direct Monte Carlo (DMC) technique can be employed to solve the variable selection and model parameter estimation problems more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":326924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Statistical Society.

Because the presence of a CSC is generally latent and unobserved, a person might not receive cataract surgery even if the person has a CSC. This misclassification needs to be adjusted in the statistical analysis of CSC so as to reduce the bias in the parameter estimation. Following Magder and Hughes (1997) and using the cataract surgery data on atomic-bomb survivors at the Radiation Effects Research Foundation, we used this method for estimating the prevalence of CSC in a linear logistic dose response model taking account of the sensitivity and/or specificity of the decision for lens surgery. The estimated sensitivity was 0.385 (95% CI: 0.268, 0.517) and the estimated specificity was perfect. The odds ratio estimate for the radiation dose response changed from 1.39 (95% CI: 1.24, 1.55) to 1.58 (95% CI: 1.26, 1.98) when allowing for the imperfect sensitivity. A large sample simulation study with a continuous covariate was conducted, assuming either imperfect sensitivity or imperfect specificity, to investigate the performance of the method. Results indicated that the parameter estimates are almost correct. We calculated the asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) for a simple logistic regression slope estimate and showed that the ARE depends only on the values of slope and intercept parameters.","PeriodicalId":326924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Japan Statistical Society.

We begin with the problem of testing H0 : θ = θ0 against H1 : θ = θ1 where θ0, θ1(θ0 = θ1) are specified values of θ. The most powerful (MP) level α test depends upon ∑n i=1 X 2 i , a complete and sufficient statistic for θ, which has a multiple of a non-central chi-square distribution with its non-centrality parameter involving n and the true parameter value θ under H0, H1. We first target type-I and type-II error probabilities α and β respectively, with α > 0, β > 0, α + β < 1. We set out to determine the required exact sample size which will control these error probabilities and provide two useful large-sample approximations for the sample size. The three methods provide nearly the same required sample size whether n is small, moderate or large. We also show how one may derive the minimum variance unbiased estimators (MVUEs) for a number of interesting and useful functionals of θ by combining some previous work from Mukhopadhyay and Cicconetti (2004) and Mukhopadhyay and Bhattacharjee (2010).
