An Agresti-Coull type test is considered for the difference of binomial proportions in two doubly sampled data subject to false-positive error. The performance of the test is compared with the likelihood-based tests. It is shown that the Agresti-Coull test has many desirable properties in that it can approximate the nominal significance level with compatible power performance.

We propose a sequential method to construct approximate confidence limits for the ratio of two independent sequences of binomial variates with unequal sample sizes. Due to the nonexistence of an unbiased estimator for the ratio, we develop the procedure based on a modified maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). We generalize the results of Cho and Govindarajulu (2008) by defining the sample-ratio when sample sizes are not equal. In addition, we investigate the large-sample properties of the proposed estimator and its finite sample behavior through numerical studies, and we make comparisons from the sample information view points.

본 논문에서는 두 모비율의 차에 대한 기존의 신뢰구간들을 소개하고 붓스트랩 신뢰구간도 제안하였다 또한 모비율의 차에 대한 신뢰구간이 가지는 성질로서 근사신뢰구간의 하향추정의 문제와 정확신뢰구간의 상향추정의 문제점들을 확인하였고 평균포함 확률, 구간기대폭 그리고 왜도성 측면에서 종합적인 비교를 하였다. 특히 모수에 대한 사전분포를 가정하여 여러 신뢰구간들이 지니는 특징도 살펴보았다 기존의 신뢰구간들과 제안된 붓스트랩 신뢰구간은 소표본의 모의실험을 통하여 실제 포함확률의 평균을 기준으로 비교되었고 이항분포에서와 같이 정확신뢰구간이 지니는 보수성을 확인할 수 있었다. 신뢰구간의 평균포함확률의 등고선 그림도 소개하였다.

Yates' continuity correction of the chi-squared test for testing the homogeneity of two binomial proportions in $2{\times}2$ contingency tables is developed to lower the value of the test statistic slightly. The effect of continuity correction is expected to decrease as the sample size increases. However, in extremely unbalanced $2{\times}2$ contingency tables, we find some cases where the effect of continuity correction is eccentric and is larger than expected. In such cases, we conclude that the chi-squared test with continuity correction should not be employed as a test statistic in both asymptotic tests and exact tests.

Recently the interval estimation of binomial proportions is revisited in various literatures. This is mainly due to the erratic behavior of the coverage probability of the well-known Wald confidence interval. Various alternatives have been proposed. Among them, the Agresti-Coull confidence interval, the Wilson confidence interval and the Bayes confidence interval resulting from the noninformative Jefferys prior were recommended by Brown et al. (2001). However, unlike the binomial distribution case, little is known about the properties of the confidence intervals in finite population sampling. In this note, the property of confidence intervals is investigated in anile population sampling.

Lee (2010) developed a confidence interval for the difference of binomial proportions in two doubly sampled data subject to false-positive errors. The confidence interval seems to be adequate for a general double sampling model subject to false-positive misclassification. However, in many applications, the false-positive error rates could be the same. On this note, the construction of asymptotic confidence interval is considered when the false-positive error rates are common. The coverage behaviors of nine likelihood based confidence intervals are examined. It is shown that the confidence interval based Rao score with the expected information has good performance in terms of coverage probability and expected width.

Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ be the proportions of two populations. To test the hypothesis $H_0 : p_1 = p_2$, we usually use the $x^2$ statistic, the large sample binomial statistic Z, and the Generalized Likelihood Ratio statistic-2log $\lambda$developed based on different mathematical rationale, respectively. Since testing the above hypothesis is equivalent to testing whether two populations follow the common Bernoulli distribution, one may also test the hypothesis by comparing 1 with the ratio of each density estimate and the hypothesized common density estimate, called comparison density, which was devised by Parzen(1988). We show that the above traditional test statistics ate actually estimating the measure of distance between the true densities and the common density under $H_0$ by representing them with the comparison density.

An Agresti-Coull type test is considered for the difference of binomial proportions in two doubly sampled data subject to common false-positive error. The performance of the test is compared with likelihood-based tests. The Agresti-Coull test has many desirable properties in that it can approximate the nominal significance level well, and has comparable power performance with a computational advantage.

PURPOSES : This study aimed to analyze the impact the operation of pre-signals at 4-leg signalized intersections and present primary environmental factors of roads that need to be considered in the installation of pre-signals. METHODS : Shift of proportions safety effectiveness evaluation method which assesses shifts in proportions of target collision types to determine safety effectiveness was applied to analyze traffic crash by types. Also, Empirical Bayes before/after safety effectiveness evaluation method was adapted to analyze the impact pre-signal installation. Negative binomial regression was conducted to determine SPF(safety performance function). RESULTS : Pre-signals are effective in reducing the number of head on, right angle and sideswipe collisions and both the total number of personal injury crashes and severe crashes. Also, it is deemed that each factor used as an independent variable for the SPF model has strong correlation with the total number of personal injury crashes and severe crashes, and impacts general traffic crashes as a whole. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests the following should be considered in pre-signal installation on intersections. 1) U-turns allowed in the front and rear 2) A high number of roads that connect to the intersection 3) Many right-turn traffic flows 4) Crosswalks installed in the front and rear 5) Insufficient left-turn lanes compared to left-turn traffic flows or no left-turn-only lane.

모비율 차이의 구간 추정에서 표준으로 인식되고 있는 Wald 신뢰구간은 모비율 구간 추정과 마찬가지로 포함확률의 근사성에서 문제가 있다는 것이 알려져 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 모비율 차이의 신뢰구간에 대한 많은 연구가 있어 왔으나 대부분의 신뢰구간은 매우 복잡한 과정을 통해 얻어지게 되어 있어 실용성에 대한 문제가 제기될 수 있다. 이와 비교하여 Agresti와 Caffo(2000)에 의해 제시된 신뢰구간은 매우 간편한 식에 의해 구할 수 있어 이해하기 쉽고 포함확률과 포함확률의 평균절대오차에 있어 다른 복잡한 신뢰 구간과 필적할 수 있다. 그러나 Agresti-Caffo 신뢰 구간은 포함확률이 명목 신뢰수준을 상회하는 보수적인 구간으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 이승천(2005)에서 이항비율의 신뢰구간을 구하기 위해 사용된 가중 Polya 사후분포를 이용하여 두 모비율 차이의 신뢰구간을 구하였다. 이렇게 구하여진 신뢰구간은 간편성은 물론 Agresti-Caffo 신뢰구간의 보수성을 개선하였다.
