Mathematical Sciences: Optimality Properties of Inference Procedures

推理过程的最优性以及新的 统计方法有待研究。 问题领域 包括（1）幂函数的无偏性和单调性， 检验;（2）曲线指数族的推论;（3）分析 （4）变量选择技术; (5)将James-Stein结果推广到非正态情形;（6） 将James-Stein结果推广到非二次损失。

Optimality of inference procedures as well as new methodology in statistics are to be studied. The problem areas include (1) unbiasedness and monotonicity of power functions of tests; (2) inference in curved exponential families; (3) analysis of incomplete block designs; (4) variable selection techniques; (5) extensions of James-Stein results to non-normal cases; (6) extension of James-Stein results to non-quadratic losses.
