Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Several tests for combining p-values from independent tests have been considered to address a particular common testing problem. A simulation study shows that Fisher’s (1932) Inverse Chi-square test is optimal based on a power comparison of several different tests.

Inference In Simple Regression For The Intercept Utilizing Prior Information On The Slope, Ayman Baklizi, Adil E. Yousif
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Shrinkage type estimators are developed for the intercept parameter of a simple linear regression model and the case when it is suspected a priori that the slope parameter is equal to some specific value is considered. Three different estimators of the intercept parameters are examined. The relative performances of the estimators are investigated based on a simulation study of the biases and mean squared errors. The associated bootstrap confidence intervals are also studied and their performance is evaluated.
