Innovative methods for modeling of scale invariant processes

This paper presents some innovative methods for modeling discrete scale invariant (DSI) processes and evaluation of corresponding parameters. For the case where the absolute values of the increments of DSI processes are in general increasing, we consider some moving sample variance of the increments and present some heuristic algorithm to characterize successive scale intervals. This enables us to estimate scale parameter of such DSI processes. To present some superior structure for the modeling of DSI processes, we consider the possibility that the variations inside the prescribed scale intervals show some further self-similar behavior. Such consideration enables us to provide more efficient estimators for Hurst parameters. We also present two competitive estimation methods for the Hurst parameters of self-similar processes with stationary increments and prove their efficiency. Using simulated samples of some simple fractional Brownian motion, we show that our estimators of Hurst parameter are more efficient as compared with the celebrated methods of convex rearrangement and quadratic variation. Finally we apply the proposed methods to evaluate DSI behavior of the S&P500 indices in some period.     

On proportional mean past lifetimes model

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we first investigate some reliability properties in the proportional mean past lifetimes model. Specifically, some implications of stochastic orders and aging notions between random variables which have proportional mean past lifetimes are discussed. Then, as an extension, mixture model arising from the proportional mean past lifetimes model is introduced and preservation properties of some stochastic orders and aging notions concerning this mixture model are studied. We also study some negative dependence properties in the proposed mixture model.     

Complete convergence and the strong laws of large numbers for pairwise NQD random variables

The authors study the strong convergence for sequences of pairwise negatively quadrant dependent (NQD) random variables under some wide conditions, and present some new theorems on the complete convergence and the strong laws of large numbers. The obtained results extend and improve some theorems in existing literature.     

Spreadsheets in Statistical Practice—Another Look

Many authors have criticized the use of spreadsheets for statistical data processing and computing because of incorrect statistical functions, no log file or audit trail, inconsistent behavior of computational dialogs, and poor handling of missing values. Some improvements in some spreadsheet processors and the possibility of audit trail facilities suggest that the use of a spreadsheet for some statistical data entry and simple analysis tasks may now be acceptable. A brief outline of some issues and some guidelines for good practice are included.     

On False Discovery and Non‐discovery Proportions of the Dynamic Adaptive Procedure

This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of the false discovery and non‐discovery proportions of the dynamic adaptive procedure under some dependence structure. A Bahadur‐type representation of the cut point in simultaneously performing a large scale of tests is presented. The asymptotic bias decompositions of the false discovery and non‐discovery proportions are given under some dependence structure. In addition to existing literatures, we find that the randomness due to the dynamic selection of the tuning parameter in estimating the true null rate serves as a source of the approximation error in the Bahadur representation and enters into the asymptotic bias term of the false discovery proportion and those of the false non‐discovery proportion. The theory explains to some extent why some seemingly attractive dynamic adaptive procedures do not outperform the competing fixed adaptive procedures substantially in some situations. Simulations justify our theory and findings.     

Robust inference by influence functions

We first review briefly some basic approaches to robust inference and discuss the role and the place of some key concepts (influence function, breakdown point, robustness versus efficiency, etc.). We then discuss in some detail recent results on robust testing in general multivariate parametric models. Recent applications include inference in logistic regression and testing for non-nested hypotheses.     

Statistical approaches for the reliability of structural designs

The Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) has produced some guidelines for the assessment of the reliability of components and/or structures. The methods of analysis suggested by these guidelines are far from adequate and, in certain cases, contain some imperfections. In this paper, some of the weaknesses of the guidelines are identified. The shortcomings are mainly in the ease of calculations and the feasibility of the assumptions which are imposed. Three alternative methods aimed at tackling some of the weaknesses are introduced. A simulation study is used to compare these methods.     

Extension of some large deviation results for posterior distributions

We consider a family of statistical models with positive unknown parameter (which includes some well-known models for censored exponential data) and some statistical models for samples from stationary Gaussian processes. We prove large deviation results for posterior distributions and, in some cases, also for maximum likelihood estimators.

First there is some general discussion of the place in statistics of work on the foundations of statistical inference. Three broad approaches, sampling theory, pure likelihood and Bayesian are distinguished and some general comments made on the advantages and limitations of each approach. It is concluded that all three have some role.

Performances of the Positive-Rule Stein-Type Ridge Estimator in a Linear Regression Model with Spherically Symmetric Error Distributions

In this article, the positive-rule Stein-type ridge estimator (PSRE) is introduced for the parameters in a multiple linear regression model with spherically symmetric error distributions when it is suspected that the parameter vector may be restricted to a linear manifold. The bias and quadratic risk functions of the PSRE are derived and compared with some related competing estimators in literatures. Particularly, some sufficient conditions are derived for superiority of the PSRE over the ordinary ridge estimator, the restricted ridge estimator and the preliminary test ridge estimator, respectively. Furthermore, some graphical results are provided to illustrate some of the theoretical results.

Regression operator estimation by delta-sequences method for functional data and its applications

In this paper, we introduce a somewhat more general class of nonparametric estimators (delta-sequences estimators) for estimating an unknown regression operator from noisy data. The regressor is assumed to take values in an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space, when the response variable is a scalar. Under some general conditions, we establish the uniform almost-complete convergence with the rates of these estimators. Moreover, we give some particular cases of our results, which can also be considered as novel in the finite-dimensional setting. Moreover, after giving some examples of the impact of our results, we show how to use them in some statistical applications (prediction procedure and curve discrimination).     

Transform orders and stochastic monotonicity of statistical functionals

In some inferential statistical methods, such as tests and confidence intervals, it is important to describe the stochastic behavior of statistical functionals, aside from their large sample properties. We study such a behavior in terms of the usual stochastic order. For this purpose, we introduce a generalized family of stochastic orders, which is referred to as transform orders, showing that it provides a flexible framework for deriving stochastic monotonicity results. Given that our general definition makes it possible to obtain some well known ordering relations as particular cases, we can easily apply our method to different families of functionals. These include some prominent inequality measures, such as the generalized entropy, the Gini index, and its generalizations. We also illustrate the applicability of our approach by determining the least favorable distribution, and the behavior of some bootstrap statistics, in some goodness-of-fit testing procedures.

Inference for the Birnbaum–Saunders Lifetime Regression Model with Applications

The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution is a positively skewed distribution that is frequently used for analyzing lifetime data. Regression analysis is widely used in this context when some covariates are involved in the life-test. In this article, we discuss the maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters and associated inference. We discuss the likelihood-ratio tests for some hypotheses of interest as well as some interval estimation methods. A Monte Carlo simulation study is then carried out to examine the performance of the proposed estimators and the interval estimation methods. Finally, some numerical data analyses are done for illustrating all the inferential methods developed here.     

Union-intersection rank tests for ordered alternatives in some simple linear models

The theory of locally most powerful rank tests and the union intersection principle are incorporated in the formulation of some distribution-free rank tests for ordered alternatives in some simple linear models (including the classical one-way layout as a special case). Some approximations for the null-hypothesis distributions of the test statistics ( for finite sample sizes) are considered, and the theory is supplemented by some numerical and simulation results.     

The generalized von Mises distribution

A generalization of the von Mises distribution, which is broad enough to cover unimodality as well as multimodality, symmetry as well as asymmetry of circular data, is discussed here. We study this distribution in some detail and discuss its many features, some inferential and computational aspects, and provide some important results including characterization properties for this distribution.
