On the least-squares model averaging interval estimator
<p>In many applications of linear regression models, randomness due to model selection is commonly ignored in post-model selection inference. In order to account for the model selection uncertainty, least-squares frequentist model averaging has been proposed recently. We show that the confidence interval from model averaging is asymptotically equivalent to the confidence interval from the full model. The finite-sample confidence intervals based on approximations to the asymptotic distributions are also equivalent if the parameter of interest is a linear function of the regression coefficients. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this equivalence also holds for prediction intervals constructed in the same fashion.</p
Approximate Bayesianity of Frequentist Confidence Intervals for a Binomial Proportion
<p>The well-known Wilson and Agresti–Coull confidence intervals for a binomial proportion <i>p</i> are centered around a Bayesian estimator. Using this as a starting point, similarities between frequentist confidence intervals for proportions and Bayesian credible intervals based on low-informative priors are studied using asymptotic expansions. A Bayesian motivation for a large class of frequentist confidence intervals is provided. It is shown that the likelihood ratio interval for <i>p</i> approximates a Bayesian credible interval based on Kerman’s neutral noninformative conjugate prior up to <i>O</i>(<i>n</i><sup>− 1</sup>) in the confidence bounds. For the significance level α ≲ 0.317, the Bayesian interval based on the Jeffreys’ prior is then shown to be a compromise between the likelihood ratio and Wilson intervals. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.</p
Acoustics-Controlled Microdroplet and Microbubble Fusion and Its Application in the Synthesis of Hydrogel Microspheres
Droplet fusion technology is a key technology for many
droplet-based
biochemical medical applications. By integrating a symmetrical flow
channel structure, we demonstrate an acoustics-controlled fusion method
of microdroplets using surface acoustic waves. Different kinds of
microdroplets can be staggered and ordered in the symmetrical flow
channel, proving the good arrangement effect of the microfluidic chip.
This method can realize not only the effective fusion of microbubbles
but also the effective fusion of microdroplets of different sizes
without any modification. Further, we investigate the influence of
the input frequency and peak-to-peak value of the driving voltage
on microdroplets fusion, giving the effective fusion parameter conditions
of microdroplets. Finally, this method is successfully used in the
preparation of hydrogel microspheres, offering a new platform for
the synthesis of hydrogel microspheres
