Abstract

Simple and simple sequential Monte Carlo tests are reviewed. Two previously unpublished applications are included.

Keywords

Monte Carlo Test Spatial Point Pattern Fertility Gradient Expected Sample Size Monte Carlo Significance 

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
