For a generalized normal linear model in which the covariance matrix [Sigma] is positive definite symmetric, UMP invariant test procedures for some kinds of linear hypotheses are derived by transforming the model by an orthogonal matrix L, consisting of orthonormal eigenvectors of [Sigma] as the...

The statistical inference drawn from the difference between two independent Poisson parameters is often discussed in the medical literature. However, such discussions are usually based on the frequentist viewpoint rather than the Bayesian viewpoint. Here, we propose an index θ=P(λ_{1, post}λ_2,...
