In this work we investigate nonnested tests for two competing univariate dynamic linear models with autoregressive disturbances, where the motivation for instrumental variable estimation is mainly due to the recognized presence of current endogenous variables in the regression function, either in one or both models. As the previous transformation of both models yields regression functions which are nonlinear in the parameters, the attractive Gauss-Newton regression (GNR) approach, firstly advocated by Davidson and Mackinnon (1981), will be used to obtain the results. 相似文献

AbstractTakahasi and Wakimoto (1968) derived a sharp upper bound on the efficiency of the balanced ranked-set sampling (RSS) sample mean relative to the simple random sampling (SRS) sample mean under perfect rankings. The bound depends on the set size and is achieved for uniform distributions. Here we generalize the Takahasi and Wakimoto (1968) result by finding a sharp upper bound in the case of unbalanced RSS. The bound depends on the particular unbalanced design, and the distributions where the bound is achieved can be highly nonuniform. The bound under perfect rankings can be exceeded under imperfect rankings. 相似文献

A number of strong laws of large numbers for sequences of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) random variables have been established by using the generalized three series theorem. In this article, we obtain a strong law of large numbers by using the truncation technique and method of subsequences instead of the generalized three series theorem. Our result generalizes and improves on the corresponding one in Li and Yang (2008). We also obtain a complete convergence result for an array of rowwise pairwise NQD random variables. 相似文献

Under Stein's loss, a class of improved estimators for the scale parameter of a mixture of exponential distribution with unknown location is constructed. The method is analogous to Maruyama's (1998) construction for the variance of a normal distribution and also an extension of the result produced in Petropoulos and Kourouklis (2002). Also, robustness properties are considered. 相似文献

This paper conducts stochastic comparison on general residual life and general inactivity time of (n ? k + 1)-out-of-n systems and investigates the stochastic behavior of the general inactivity time of a system with units having decreasing reversed hazard rate. These results strengthen some conclusions in both Khaledi and Shaked (2006) and Hu et al. (2007). 相似文献

Population and sample versions of Kendall and Spearman measures of association suitable for multivariate ordinal data are defined. The latter generalize the indices of dependence of Ruymgaart and van Zuijlen (1978), Joe (1990), and Schmid and Schmidt (2007) by allowing atoms in the underlying distribution. The representation of the proposed empirical measures as U-statistics enables to establish their asymptotic normality under general distributions. A special attention is given to tests of independence for multivariate ordinal data, where the power of the new methodologies are investigated under fixed and contiguous alternatives. 相似文献

The spectral measure plays a key role in the statistical modeling of multivariate extremes. Estimation of the spectral measure is a complex issue, given the need to obey a certain moment condition. We propose a Euclidean likelihood-based estimator for the spectral measure which is simple and explicitly defined, with its expression being free of Lagrange multipliers. Our estimator is shown to have the same limit distribution as the maximum empirical likelihood estimator of Einmahl and Segers (2009). Numerical experiments suggest an overall good performance and identical behavior to the maximum empirical likelihood estimator. We illustrate the method in an extreme temperature data analysis. 相似文献

A complete convergence theorem for an array of rowwise independent random variables was established by Sung et al. (2005). This result has been generalized and extended by Kruglov et al. (2006) and Chen et al. (2007). In this article, we extend the results of Sung et al. (2005), Kruglov et al. (2006), and Chen et al. (2007) to an array of dependent random variables satisfying Hoffmann-Jørgensen type inequalities. 相似文献

The Kumaraswamy distribution is very similar to the Beta distribution but has the key advantage of a closed-form cumulative distribution function. This makes it much better suited than the Beta distribution for computation-intensive activities like simulation modeling and the estimation of models by simulation-based methods. However, in spite of the fact that the Kumaraswamy distribution was introduced in 1980, further theoretical research on the distribution was not developed until very recently (Garg, 2008; Jones, 2009; Mitnik, 2009; Nadarajah, 2008). This article contributes to this recent research and: (a) shows that Kumaraswamy variables exhibit closeness under exponentiation and under linear transformation; (b) derives an expression for the moments of the general form of the distribution; (c) specifies some of the distribution's limiting distributions; and (d) introduces an analytical expression for the mean absolute deviation around the median as a function of the parameters of the distribution, and establishes some bounds for this dispersion measure and for the variance. 相似文献

Given a prognostic model based on one population, one may ask: Can this model be used to accurately predict disease in a different population? When the underlying rate of disease differs in the new population, the model must be calibrated. van Houwelingen (2000) considered this calibration problem focusing on proportional hazards models. We extend the validation by calibration to the log-logistic accelerated failure time model. We use calibration of proportional hazards models and log-logistic accelerated failure time models to examine whether a survival model based on the Framingham Heart Study can be applied to diverse studies around the world. 相似文献

In Bayesian Inference it is often desirable to have a posterior density reflecting mainly the information from sample data. To achieve this purpose it is important to employ prior densities which add little information to the sample. We have in the literature many such prior densities, for example, Jeffreys (1967), Lindley (1956); (1961), Hartigan (1964), Bernardo (1979), Zellner (1984), Tibshirani (1989), etc. In the present article, we compare the posterior densities of the reliability function by using Jeffreys, the maximal data information (Zellner, 1984), Tibshirani's, and reference priors for the reliability function R(t) in a Weibull distribution. 相似文献

Accelerated failure time models are useful in survival data analysis, but such models have received little attention in the context of measurement error. In this paper we discuss an accelerated failure time model for bivariate survival data with covariates subject to measurement error. In particular, methods based on the marginal and joint models are considered. Consistency and efficiency of the resultant estimators are investigated. Simulation studies are carried out to evaluate the performance of the estimators as well as the impact of ignoring the measurement error of covariates. As an illustration we apply the proposed methods to analyze a data set arising from the Busselton Health Study (Knuiman et al., 1994). 相似文献

Baysian inference is considered for the precision matrix of the multivariate regression model with distribution of the random responses belonging to the multivariate scale mixtures of normal distributions. The posterior distribution and some identities involving expectations taken with respect to this posterior distribution are derived when the prior distribution of the parameters is from the conjugate family. The results are specialized to the case where the random responses have a matrix-t distribution and thus generalizing the results of Zellner (1976) and Muirhead (1986). 相似文献

There have been many alternative strategies for implementing sampling survey on quantitative characteristic of sensitive issues by using randomized response (RR) technique. The efficiency of most of those strategies has been improved by choosing the suitable design parameters of model. However, the two different procedures with pre-assigned design parameter values cannot ensure that they possess the same protection degree to the respondents. Some earlier comparisons of those strategies are inadequate (as in Eichhorn and Hayre, 1983; Gupta et al., 2002). Some literature contains a more comprehensive comparison based on efficiency and protection degree to the respondents among the qualitative characteristic RR techniques (see Bhargava and Singh, 2002; Nayak, 1994; Zaizai and Zankan, 2004). As far as the comparisons are concerned that are based on efficiency and protection degree to the respondents among the quantitative characteristic RR techniques, very few related studies have been found so far. The purpose of this article is to give a more adequate comparison among those earlier quantitative characteristic RR strategies. It is found that several important differences between the results obtained in this article and some known results exist. Therefore, these earlier RR strategies should be reevaluated. 相似文献

In this article, we consider the problem of testing a general multivariate linear hypothesis in a multivariate linear model when the N × p observation matrix is normally distributed with unknown covariance matrix, and N ≤ p. This includes the case of testing the equality of several mean vectors. A test is proposed which is a generalized version of the two-sample test proposed by Srivastava and Du (2008). The asymptotic null and nonnull distributions are obtained. The performance of this test is compared, theoretically as well as numerically, with the corresponding generalized version of the two-sample Dempster (1958) test, or more appropriately Bai and Saranadasa (1996) test who gave its asymptotic version. 相似文献

We consider a new generalization of the skew-normal distribution introduced by Azzalini (1985). We denote this distribution Beta skew-normal (BSN) since it is a special case of the Beta generated distribution (Jones, 2004). Some properties of the BSN are studied. We pay attention to some generalizations of the skew-normal distribution (Bahrami et al., 2009; Sharafi and Behboodian, 2008; Yadegari et al., 2008) and to their relations with the BSN. 相似文献

In this article, we consider a new insurance risk model based on the entrance process proposed in Li et al. (2005), and investigate the finite time ruin probabilities of this model. It is showed that an exponential upper bound for the finite time ruin probability exists, when the distributions of the claim size are light tailed. Furthermore, when the distributions of the claim size are heavy tailed, an asymptotic formula for the finite time ruin probability is obtained. 相似文献

By applying the recursion of Huffer (1988) repeatedly, we propose an algorithm for evaluating the null joint distribution of Dixon-type test statistics for testing discordancy of k upper outliers in exponential samples. By using the critical values of Dixon-type test statistics determined from the proposed algorithm and those of Cochran-type test statistics presented earlier by Lin and Balakrishnan (2009), we carry out an extensive Monte Carlo study to investigate the powers and the error probabilities for the effects of masking and swamping when the number of outliers k = 2 and 3. Based on our empirical findings, we recommend Rosner’s (1975) sequential test procedure based on Dixon-type test statistics for testing multiple outliers from an exponential distribution. 相似文献

In this article, the asymmetric Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund strong law of large numbers for linear random field under negative association is obtained. Our result generalizes a result in Gut and Studtmüller (2009). An asymmetric Marcinkiewicz-Zygmund LLN for random fields to the linear random field by using the Beverige-Nelson decomposition. 相似文献
