In Desmet and Gijbels (2009), the problem of curve fitting on functions with peaks was addressed and a method was proposed that was building further on the one used in Gijbels et al. (2007) when dealing with functions that have jump discontinuities. In this article, we propose a common framework for both estimation problems and an integrated procedure where an appropriate diagnostic quantity is a key ingredient. In particular we discuss practical procedure parameter selection considering target functions with an unknown number of irregularities of unknown type. The method is illustrated both on simulated and real life data sets. 相似文献

This article considers the properties of a nonparametric estimator developed for a reliability function which is used in many reliability problems. Properties such as asymptotic unbiasedness and consistency are proven for the estimator and using U-statistics, weak convergence of the estimator to a normal distribution is shown. Finally, numerical examples based on an extensive simulation study are presented to illustrate the theory and compare the estimator developed in this article with another based directly on the ratio of two empirical distributions studied in Zardasht and Asadi (2010). 相似文献

The approximate D s -optimal design for discriminating between linear and quadratic log contrast models for experiments with mixtures suggested by Aitchison and Bacon-Shone (1984) is investigated, where the experimental domain is restricted further as in Chan (1992). It is found that for a symmetric subspace of the finite dimensional simplex, there is a D s -optimal design with the nice structure that puts a weight 1/2 k?1 on the centroid of this subspace and the remaining weight is uniformly distributed on the vertices of the experimental domain. Finally, the D s -efficiency of the D-optimal design for quadratic model and the design given by Aitchison and Bacon-Shone (1984) are also discussed. 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

This paper deals with Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) models under a multivariate student-t distribution for the structural shocks. Based on the solution algorithm of Klein (2000) and the gamma-normal representation of the t-distribution, the TaRB-MH algorithm of Chib and Ramamurthy (2010) is used to estimate the model. A technique for estimating the marginal likelihood of the DSGE student-t model is also provided. The methodologies are illustrated first with simulated data and then with the DSGE model of Ireland (2004) where the results support the t-error model in relation to the Gaussian model. 相似文献

Unit root tests with structural break developed by Zivot and Andrews (1992) and Perron and Rodriguez (2003) in the presence of additive outliers and breaks are studied by simulation experiments. The results show that the Zivot–Andrews test appears to have size distortions due to the additive outliers whereas the Perron–Rodriguez test exhibits good properties of size and power. However, the two tests are biased when a second break is present but not taken into account. Furthermore, these endogenous break unit root tests tend to determine the break point incorrectly at one period behind the true break point, leading to spurious rejections of the unit root null hypothesis. 相似文献

Bivariate aging notions for a vector X of lifetimes based on stochastic comparisons between X and X t, where X t is the multivariate residual lifetime after time t > 0, have been studied in Pellerey (2008) under the assumption that the dependence structure in X is described by an Archimedean survival copula. Similar stochastic comparisons between X t and X t+s, for all t; s > 0, were considered in Mulero and Pellerey (2010). In this article, these results are generalized and extended to the multivariate case. Two illustrative examples are also provided. 相似文献

In this study, we consider the multiple comparison with a control for multivariate normal means. Specifically, we construct a step-up procedure by referring to Dunnett and Tamhane (1992). We derive recursive formulae for determining the critical values of the step-up procedure for a specified significance level. Then we formulate the power of the test. Finally, we compare the step-up procedure with the single-step procedure proposed by Nakamura and Imada (2005) and the step-down procedure proposed by Imada and Douke (2007) in terms of numerical examples regarding the power of the test. 相似文献

In this article, the exchange and interchange algorithm of Zergaw (1989) and Martin and Eccleston (1992) have been modified and used for searching efficient block designs for making all possible pairwise treatment comparisons when observations are dependent. The lower bounds to the A- and D-efficiencies of the designs in a given class of the designs have been obtained for correlated observation structure and the procedure of computing lower bounds to A- and D-efficiencies has been incorporated in the algorithm. The algorithm has been translated into a computer program using Microsoft Visual C++. Using this program, a search for efficient designs for making all possible pairwise treatment comparisons has been made for v ≤ 10, b ≤ 33, k ≤ 10 such that bk ≤ 100 and v > k. The block designs considered are usual block designs (rectangular block designs) and circular block designs. Nearest neighbor (NN), autoregressive of order 1 (AR(1)) correlation structures are studied. The ranges of correlation coefficients for different correlation structures investigated are |ρ|≤0.50 for NN correlation structure in rectangular blocks, |ρ|≤0.45 for NN correlation structure in circular blocks, and |ρ|≤0.95 for AR(1) correlation structure. For these ranges, the matrix of correlation coefficients among observations within a block is positive definite. Robustness aspects of designs that are efficient for a given value of correlation have been investigated against other values of correlation coefficients. Robustness aspects of designs that are efficient for independent observations have also been studied for experimental situations with dependent observations. 相似文献

The Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM; Tusher et al., 2001) method is widely used in analyzing gene expression data while controlling the FDR by using resampling-based procedure in the microarray setting. One of the main components of the SAM procedure is the adjustment of the test statistic. The introduction of the fudge factor to the test statistic aims at deflating the large value of test statistics due to the small standard error of gene-expression. Lin et al. (2008) pointed out that the fudge factor does not effectively improve the power and the control of the FDR as compared to the SAM procedure without the fudge factor in the presence of small variance genes. Motivated by the simulation results presented in Lin et al. (2008), in this article, we extend our study to compare several methods for choosing the fudge factor in the modified t-type test statistics and use simulation studies to investigate the power and the control of the FDR of the considered methods. 相似文献

ABSTRACT The systematic sampling (SYS) design (Madow and Madow, 1944) is widely used by statistical offices due to its simplicity and efficiency (e.g., Iachan, 1982). But it suffers from a serious defect, namely, that it is impossible to unbiasedly estimate the sampling variance (Iachan, 1982) and usual variance estimators (Yates and Grundy, 1953) are inadequate and can overestimate the variance significantly (Särndal et al., 1992). We propose a novel variance estimator which is less biased and that can be implemented with any given population order. We will justify this estimator theoretically and with a Monte Carlo simulation study. 相似文献

Consider the model φ(S(y | X)) = β(y) T X, where φ is a known link function, S(· | X) is the survival function of a response Y given a covariate X = (1, X, X 2,…, X p ), and β(y) is an unknown vector of time-dependent regression coefficients. The response Y is subject to left truncation and right censoring. We assume that given X, Y is independent of (C, T) where C and T are censoring and truncation variables with P(C ≥ T) = 1. In this article, with some modification of the assumptions in Lemmas 5 and 6 of Iglesias-Pérez and González-Manteiga (1999), we present an almost sure representation for the generalized product-limit estimator (GPL) of S(y | X). Based on the GPL and the approach of Teodorescu et al. (2010), a least squares estimator of β(y) is obtained and a bootstrap procedure is proposed to choose the optimum bandwidth. 相似文献

In this article, the problem of estimation of the individual weights of three objects using a chemical balance weighing design is considered. We use the criterion of D-optimality. We assume that the covariance matrix of errors is the matrix of first-order autoregressive process. Such problems were discussed in Li and Yang (2005) and also in Yeh and Lo Huang (2005). We present some results of D-optimal designs in certain class of designs with the design matrix X ∈ M n×3(±1) such that each column of matrix X has at least one 1 and one ?1. 相似文献

In this article, we consider the M-estimators for the linear regression model when both response and covariate variables are subject to double censoring. The proposed estimators are constructed as some functional of three types of estimators for a bivariate survival distribution. The first two estimators are the generalizations of the Campbell and Földes (1982) and Dabrowska (1988) estimators proposed by Shen (2009). The third estimator is the generalization of the Prentice and Cai (1992) estimator. The consistency of the proposed M-estimators is established. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed estimators. Furthermore, the simple bootstrap methods are used to estimate standard deviations and construct interval estimators. 相似文献

In this article, we obtained a dependence measure for generalized Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family in view of Kochar and Gupta (1987) and then compared this measure with Spearman's rho and Kendall's tau in FGM family. Moreover, we evaluated the empirical power of the class of distribution-free tests proposed by Kochar and Gupta (1987, 1990) based on exact distribution of a U-statistics. This is derived via a simulation study for sample of sizes n = 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20. Also, we compared our simulation results with those achieved by Amini et al. (2010) and Güven and Kotz (2008). 相似文献

In this article, our objective is to evaluate the performance of different tests which are used to compare the equality of more than two location parameters. We have considered six tests (including some commonly used) in this study, one of which is parametric and the others are nonparametric. These tests include the usual F test (Fisher and Mackenzie, 1923), Kruskal–Wallis test (Kruskall and Wallis, 1952), Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (David, 1958), the g test (Stekler, 1987), f test (Batchelor, 1990), and Extension of Median test (as given in Daniel, 1990). Performance of these tests are compared under different symmetric, skewed and contaminated probability distributions that include Normal, Cauchy, Uniform, Laplace, Lognormal, Exponential, Weibull, Gamma, t, Chi-square, Half Normal, Mixed Weibull, and Mixed Normal. Performances of these tests are measured in terms of power. We have suggested appropriate tests which may perform better under different situations. It is expected that researchers will find these results useful in decision making. 相似文献

Boardman and Kendell (1970) considered the problem of estimation with respect to Type-I censoring when an item is subjected to only one of the two causes of failure assuming exponential model. Patel and Gajjar (1992) considered extension of the Boardman and Kendell's results in case of two-stage progressive censoring. Here we have considered geometric competing risk failure model with two independent causes of failures. Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters is carried out using Type-I two-stage progressively censored and group censored samples. Asymptotic standard errors of the estimators are obtained for both the cases. Two illustrative examples are cited for ungroup and group competing risk models. 相似文献

Tarasińska (2005) considered a method to construct the shortest length confidence interval on the power of the t-test using a confidence interval for the population standard deviation in the non centrality parameter. Gilliland and Li (2008) used simulations to show that this confidence interval has less than the nominal coverage, particularly in small samples. We propose to find the shortest expected length confidence interval for the power of the t-test by accounting for the variation in the sample standard deviation, and provide the necessary constants for its implementation for some selected sample and shift sizes. It is seen that the proposed interval is reasonably robust to the specification of the population standard deviation and maintains the nominal coverage. 相似文献

Statistical analysis for the regression model f β(y | x, z) with missing values in the covariate vector X requires modeling of the covariate distribution g(x | z). Likelihood methods, including Ibrahim (1990), Chen (2004), and Zhao (2005), need either X or Z to be discrete. This article considers extending the likelihood methods to deal with cases where both X and Z may be continuous. We propose modeling the covariate distribution g(x | z) using a piece-wise nonparametric model, then a maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of β can be computed following the maximum likelihood estimating procedure of Chen (2004) or Zhao (2005). The resulting estimation method is easy to implement and the asymptotic properties of the MLE follow under certain conditions. Extensive simulation studies for different models indicate that the proposed method is acceptable for practical implementation. A real data example is used to illustrate the method. 相似文献
