Two types of estimates of process level, namely repeated median estimates (Siegel, 1982) and full online estimates (Gather et al., 2006) based on repeated median filters, are used to develop control charts. The distributional properties of the estimates are studied using simulation and these are found to closely follow normal distribution. The repeated median being robust against outliers with asymptotically 50% breakdown value and having small standard deviation is found to be useful as a basis for monitoring process averages. The control charts using repeated median estimates have been recommended for general use. 相似文献

ABSTRACT In the presence of heteroskedasticity of unknown form, the Ordinary Least Squares parameter estimator becomes inefficient, and its covariance matrix estimator inconsistent. Eicker (1963) and White (1980) were the first to propose a robust consistent covariance matrix estimator, that permits asymptotically correct inference. This estimator is widely used in practice. Cragg (1983) proposed a more efficient estimator, but concluded that tests basd on it are unreliable. Thus, this last estimator has not been used in practice. This article is concerned with finite sample properties of tests robust to heteroskedasticity of unknown form. Our results suggest that reliable and more efficient tests can be obtained with the Cragg estimators in small samples. 相似文献

A new model selection criterion, termed as the “quasi-likelihood under the independence model criterion” (QIC), was proposed by Pan (2001) for GEE models. Cui (2007) developed a general computing program to implement the QIC method for a range of statistical distributions. However, only a special case of the negative binomial distribution was considered in Cui (2007), where the dispersion parameter equals to unity. This article introduces a new computing program that can be applied for the general negative binomial model, where the dispersion parameter can be any fixed value. An example is also given in this article. 相似文献

We evaluate the finite-sample behavior of different heteros-ke-das-ticity-consistent covariance matrix estimators, under both constant and unequal error variances. We consider the estimator proposed by Halbert White (HC0), and also its variants known as HC2, HC3, and HC4; the latter was recently proposed by Cribari-Neto (2004). We propose a new covariance matrix estimator: HC5. It is the first consistent estimator to explicitly take into account the effect that the maximal leverage has on the associated inference. Our numerical results show that quasi-t inference based on HC5 is typically more reliable than inference based on other covariance matrix estimators. 相似文献

Huang (1999) proposed a feasible ridge regression (FRR) estimator to estimate a specific regression coefficient. Assuming that the error terms follow a normal distribution, Huang (1999) examined the small sample properties of the FRR estimator. In this article, assuming that the error terms follow a multivariate t distribution, we derive an exact general formula for the moments of the FRR estimator to estimate a specific regression coefficient. Using the exact general formula, we obtain exact formulas for the bias, mean squared error (MSE), skewness, and kurtosis of the FRR estimator. Since these formulas are very complex, we compare the bias, MSE, skewness, and kurtosis of the FRR estimator with those of ordinary least square (OLS) estimator by numerical evaluations. Our numerical results show that the range of MSE dominance of the FRR estimator over the OLS estimator is widen under a fat tail distributional assumption. 相似文献

Barreto and Maharry (2006) showed that PROGRESS algorithm fails to find a correct minimum “Least Median of Squares/LMS” estimate for bivariate regression models which have no intercept. Kayhan and Gunay (2008) presented a different approach for the regression models through the origin which includes at most two unknown parameters. However, LMS estimate for multiple linear regression models still remains an open issue. The aim of this study is to show that finding true LMS estimate for zero intercept multiple linear regression models can be treated as a convex optimization problem and to provide a more general algorithm for any dimensional linear regression models. 相似文献

In this article, the problems of testing homogeneity of several exponential location parameters against simple and tree ordered alternatives are considered separately. Test procedures for both the alternatives are proposed using restricted maximum likelihood estimators (RMLE) of exponential location parameters under the respective orderings. Critical constants for the implementation of the proposed procedures are tabulated. Power comparison of the proposed test procedure under the simple ordered alternative with the procedure of Chen (1982) and of Dhawan and Gill (1999) is carried out using Monte-Carlo simulation. 相似文献

Sakall?oglu et al. (2001) dealt with the comparisons among the ridge estimator, Liu estimator, and iteration estimator. Akdeniz and Erol (2003) have compared the (almost unbiased) generalized ridge regression estimator with the (almost unbiased) generalized Liu estimator in the matrix mean squared error sense. In this article, we study the ridge estimator and Liu estimator with respect to linear equality restriction, and establish some sufficient conditions for the superiority of the restricted ridge estimator over the restricted Liu estimator and the superiority of the restricted Liu estimator over the restricted ridge estimator under mean squared error matrix, respectively. Furthermore, we give a numerical example. 相似文献

Based on the insightful work of Olsen (1980) for the linear context, a generic and unifying framework is developed that affords a simple extension of the classical method of Heckman (1974, 1976, 1978, 1979) to a broad class of nonlinear regression models involving endogenous switching and its two most common incarnations, endogenous sample selection and endogenous treatment effects. The approach should be appealing to applied researchers for three reasons. First, econometric applications involving endogenous switching abound. Secondly, the approach requires neither linearity of the regression function nor full parametric specification of the model. It can, in fact, be applied under the minimal parametric assumptions—i.e., specification of only the conditional means of the outcome and switching variables. Finally, it is amenable to relatively straightforward estimation methods. Examples of applications of the method are discussed. 相似文献

Consider a skewed population. Suppose an intelligent guess could be made about an interval that contains the population mean. There may exist biased estimators with smaller mean squared error than the arithmetic mean within such an interval. This article indicates when it is advisable to shrink the arithmetic mean towards a guessed interval using root estimators. The goal is to obtain an estimator that is better near the average of natural origins. An estimator proposed. This estimator contains the Thompson (1968) ordinary shrinkage estimator, the Jenkins et al. (1973) square-root estimator, and the arithmetic sample mean as special cases. The bias and the mean squared error of the proposed more general estimator is compared with the three special cases. Shrinkage coefficients that yield minimum mean squared error estimators are obtained. The proposed estimator is considerably more efficient than the three special cases. This remains true for highly skewed populations. The merits of the proposed shrinkage square-root estimator are supported by the results of numerical and simulation studies. 相似文献

In this article, we establish several recurrence relations for the single and product moments of progressively Type-II right censored order statistics from a log-logistic distribution. The use of these relations in a systematic recursive manner would enable the computation of all the means, variances and covariances of progressively Type-II right censored order statistics from the log-logistic distribution for all sample sizes n, effective sample sizes m, and all progressive censoring schemes (R 1,…, R m ). The results established here generalize the corresponding results for the usual order statistics due to Balakrishnan and Malik (1987) and Balakrishnan et al. (1987). The moments so determined are then utilized to derive best linear unbiased estimators for the scale- and location-scale log-logistic distributions. A comparison of these estimates with the maximum likelihood estimates is made through Monte Carlo simulation. The best linear unbiased predictors of progressively censored failure times is then discussed briefly. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate all the methods of inference developed here. 相似文献

In this article, we find designs insensitive to the presence of an outlier in a diallel cross design setup for estimating a complete set of orthonormal contrasts among the effects of the general combining abilities of a set of parental lines. The criterion of robustness, suggested by Mandal (1989) in block design setup and used by Biswas (2012) in treatment-control setup, is adapted here. Complete diallel cross designs, suggested by Gupta and Kageyama (1994), and partial diallel cross designs, suggested by Gupta et al. (1995) and Mukerjee (1997), are found to be robust under certain conditions. 相似文献

The purpose of this article is to develop algorithms for computing the exact Fisher information matrix of periodic time-varying state-space models. We first present a relatively simple recursive algorithm which computes the elements of the exact information matrix without involving numerical differentiation, since all required derivatives are analytically evaluated. The proposed algorithm extends the procedure due to Cavanaugh and Shumway (1996) to the periodic state-space framework. Exploiting the approach used in Klein et al. (2000), a second algorithm is proposed in order to obtain the exact information matrix as a whole instead of element by element. The algorithms are first developed in a general framework and then specialized to the case of a periodic Gaussian vector autoregressive moving-average (PVARMA) model. 相似文献

The problem of multiple upper outlier detection in gamma sample is considered. Balasooriya and Gadag (1994) proposed a location and scale invariant test based on the test statistic Z k for testing the k upper outliers in two-parameter exponential sample. In this article, the test statistic is extended for gamma sample and the null distribution of the statistic is obtained. A simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of the tests and is found that the test based on Z k is more powerful than the test based on the test statistic proposed by Jabbari Nooghabi et al. (2010). 相似文献

Kadilar and Cingi (2005) have suggested a new ratio estimator in stratified sampling. The efficiency of this estimator is compared with the traditional combined ratio estimator on the basis of mean square error (MSE). We propose another estimator by utilizing a simple transformation introduced by Bedi (1996). The proposed estimator is found to be more efficient than the traditional combined ratio estimator as well as the Kadilar and Cingi (2005) ratio estimator. 相似文献

We consider non-parametric estimation of a continuous cdf of a random vector (X 1, X 2). With bivariate RC data, it is stated in van der Laan (1996, p. 59810, Ann. Statist.), Quale et al. (2006, JASA) etc. that “it is well known that the NPMLE for continuous data is inconsistent (Tsai et al. (1986)).” The claim is based on a result in Tsai et al. (1986, p.1352, Ann. Statist.) that if X 1 is right censored but not X 2, then common ways for defining one NPMLE lead to inconsistency. If X 1 is right censored and X 2 is type I right-censored (which includes the case in Tsai et al.), we present a consistent NPMLE. The result corrects a common misinterpretation of Tsai's example (Tsai et al., 1986, Ann. Statist.). 相似文献

Double censoring arises when T represents an outcome variable that can only be accurately measured within a certain range, [L, U], where L and U are the left- and right-censoring variables, respectively. When L is always observed, we consider the empirical likelihood inference for linear transformation models, based on the martingale-type estimating equation proposed by Chen et al. (2002). It is demonstrated that both the approach of Lu and Liang (2006) and that of Yu et al. (2011) can be extended to doubly censored data. Simulation studies are conducted to investigate the performance of the empirical likelihood ratio methods. 相似文献

This article addresses derivation and existence of quadratic forms that were suggested by Burch (2007) for procedures for inference on variance components in mixed linear models in combination with generalized fiducial inference. A relatively simple algorithm leading to the required quadratic forms in a general 3-variance-component model is stated and designs for two-way ANOVA models without interactions that permit Burch's procedure are characterized. This complements developments in the original article by Burch. 相似文献

The complication in analyzing tumor data is that the tumors detected in a screening program tend to be slowly progressive tumors, which is the so-called length-biased sampling that is inherent in screening studies. Under the assumption that all subjects have the same tumor growth function, Ghosh (2008) developed estimation procedures for proportional hazards model. In this article, by modeling growth function as a function of covariates, we demonstrate that Ghosh (2008)'s approach can be extended to the case when each subject has a specific growth function. A simulation study is conducted to demonstrate the potential usefulness of the proposed estimators for the regression parameters in the proportional and additive hazards model. 相似文献

Counting process techniques have been successfully introduced to semiparametric inference of repeated measurements. Cheng and Wei (2000) proposed a simple inference procedure for the semiparametric proportional rate model, which reduces to relative risk regression models for binary data. While the baseline mean functions are completely unspecified, it still requires several assumptions for valid inference. In this article, a goodness-of-fit test for it is proposed based on cumulative residuals. Theoretical justification is provided and an illustration with a dataset from a clinical trial is given. Results of simulation studies to evaluate finite sample performance are also provided. 相似文献
