Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph. - Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: An Adaptive Two-Sample Test -- Chapter 3: A General Adaptive Testing Method -- Chapter 4: Using Adaptive Tests in the Practice of Statistics -- Chapter 5: An Adaptive Test for Paired Data -- Chapter 6: Adaptive Confidence Intervals -- Chapter 7: Adaptive Estimation -- Chapter 8: Additional Adaptive Methods and Special Topics -- Appendix A -- Appendix B -- Bibliography -- Index.. - Adaptive statistical tests, developed over the last 30 years, are often more powerful than traditional tests of significance, but have not been widely used. To date, discussions of adaptive statistical methods have been scattered across the literature and generally do not include the computer programs necessary to make these adaptive methods a practical alternative to traditional statistical methods. Until recently, there has also not been a general approach to tests of significance and confidence intervals that could easily be applied in practice. Modern adaptive methods are more general than earlier methods and sufficient software has been developed to make adaptive tests easy to use for many real-world problems. Applied Adaptive Statistical Methods: Tests of Significance and Confidence Intervals introduces many of the practical adaptive statistical methods developed over the last 10 years and provides a comprehensive approach to tests of significance and confidence intervals. It shows how to make confidence intervals shorter and how to make tests of significance more powerful by using the data itself to select the most appropriate procedure.
