Asymptotic Expansions And Deficiency., Tapas Kumar Chandra Dr. May 1981

Asymptotic Expansions And Deficiency., Tapas Kumar Chandra Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The efficiencies intmduced by B.J. G. Pitnan and R. R.Bahadur are both meant to compare the asymptotie perfornance or statistical procedured. However there are nany interesting situations where these eriteria prove inadequate and rurther discrimination 1s necessary. One such attempt of furthor refinenent is the criterion of defieieney.This investigation was undert aken with the ob ject of davelop- Ing tools for studying defieiency of test proceduros vith (1) same Pitman efficieney, OT (11) sane Bahadur efficiency.Deficiency in the first case has been defined by Hodges and Lehumann (1970). Deficiency in the second case vas defined by Chandra and Chosh (1978). …


Asymptotic Theory Of Extimation When The Limit Of The Log-Likelihood Ratios Is Mixed Normal., P. Jeganathan Dr. Feb 1981

Asymptotic Theory Of Extimation When The Limit Of The Log-Likelihood Ratios Is Mixed Normal., P. Jeganathan Dr.

Doctoral Theses

In one of his fundamental papers Le Can (1960) introduced what is now called locally asymptotically normal (LAN) families of distributions and obtained several basic results regarding the asymptotic theory of estimation and testing. Roughly speaking, a sequence of families is said to satisfy the LAN condition if the corresponding sequence of appropriately normalised log-likelihood function is locally approximated with probability tending to one by the sum of two expressions, the first one being a sequence of rand om linear functions of the normalised parameter and the second one being a non-random quadratic form of the normalised parameter, and the …
