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

The purpose of this article is to investigate the predictive inference for responses from the location parameter mean as well as from the median given a doubly censored sample from the two-parameter Rayleigh model. The predictive results by Khan et al. (2010) are used to obtain the predictive inference for responses from the median, where Khan et al. (2010) obtained the future estimates from the mean. A numerical example representing 66 liver cancer patients is used for predictive analysis. It is concluded that the predictive inference from the median gives precise results as compared with the location parameter mean. 相似文献

In this article, a multivariate threshold varying conditional correlation (TVCC) model is proposed. The model extends the idea of Engle (2002) and Tse and Tsui (2002) to a threshold framework. This model retains the interpretation of the univariate threshold GARCH model and allows for dynamic conditional correlations. Techniques of model identification, estimation, and model checking are developed. Some simulation results are reported on the finite sample distribution of the maximum likelihood estimate of the TVCC model. Real examples demonstrate the asymmetric behavior of the mean and the variance in financial time series and the ability of the TVCC model to capture these phenomena. 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

Recently, several authors have been concerned with ordering comparison of known distributions of the family of generalized power series (GPS) distributions with their mixtures in various senses. In this article, we shall employ a unified approach and obtain similar results, more generally, for all members of the class of the GPS distributions. Some of the previous findings of Misra et al. (2003), Alamatsaz and Abbasi (2008), and Aghababaei Jazi and Alamatsaz (2010) in this connection, then, follow as corollaries. Further, we have derived some more ordering comparison results. 相似文献

To develop estimators with stronger efficiencies than the trimmed means which use the empirical quantile, Kim (1992) and Chen & Chiang (1996), implicitly or explicitly used the symmetric quantile, and thus introduced new trimmed means for location and linear regression models, respectively. This study further investigates the properties of the symmetric quantile and extends its application in several aspects. (a) The symmetric quantile is more efficient than the empirical quantiles in asymptotic variances when quantile percentage α is either small or large. This reveals that for any proposal involving the α th quantile of small or large α s, the symmetric quantile is the right choice; (b) a trimmed mean based on it has asymptotic variance achieving a Cramer-Rao lower bound in one heavy tail distribution; (c) an improvement of the quantiles-based control chart by Grimshaw & Alt (1997) is discussed; (d) Monte Carlo simulations of two new scale estimators based on symmetric quantiles also support this new quantile. 相似文献

Confidence interval construction for the difference of two independent binomial proportions is a well-known problem with a full panoply of proposed solutions. In this paper, we focus largely on the family of intervals proposed by Beal (1987). This family, which includes the Haldane and Jeffreys–Perks intervals as special cases, assumes a symmetric prior distribution for the population proportions p 1 and p 2. We propose new methods that allow the currently observed data to set the prior distribution by taking a parametric empirical-Bayes approach; in addition, we also provide an investigation of the new interval' behaviors in small-sample situations. Unlike other solutions, our intervals can be used adaptively for experiments conducted in multiple stages over time. We illustrate this notion using data from an Argentinean study involving the Mal Rio Cuarto virus and its transmission to susceptible maize crops. 相似文献

In this article, we discuss the estimation of linear functions of two Poisson means, on which an order restriction is given. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the coefficients of the linear function for the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) which satisfies the order restriction to dominate the unbiased estimator under squared error loss. Furthermore, simultaneous estimation of two ordered Poisson means is considered and we suggest the Clevenson–Zidek type modification of MLE which dominates the MLE under normalized squared error loss. We also improve the estimator proposed by Clevenson and Zidek (1975) which ignores the order restriction. 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

Walsh (1995) introduced a heuristic approach to motivate Stirling's formula by equating a Poisson probability to an analogous value from a normal density function. We explore similar heuristics to derive approximations for various binomial, negative binomial, and multinomial coefficients. Also, using heuristics markedly different from those of Walsh, we develop an approximation of (nk)! for positive integers n (large) and k. These heuristics are then used to validate Stirling's formula for Γ(nα) where α is a positive real number. To derive each of our approximations we use a different probability distribution, and hence each section may serve as pedagogical module. 相似文献

Interval estimation of the difference of two independent binomial proportions is an important problem in many applied settings. Newcombe (1998) compared the performance of several existing asymptotic methods, and based on the results obtained, recommended a method known as Wilson's method, a modified version of a method originally proposed for single binomial proportion. In this article, we propose a method based on profile likelihood, where the likelihood is weighted by noninformative Jeffrey' prior. By doing extensive simulations, we find that the proposed method performs well compared to Wilson's method. A SAS/IML program implementing this method is also given with this article. 相似文献

Cai and Zeng (2011) proposed an additive mixed effect model to analyze clustered right-censored data. In this article, we demonstrate that the approach of Cai and Zeng (2011) can be extended to clustered doubly censored data. Furthermore, when both left- and right-censoring variables are always observed, we propose alternative estimators using the approach of Cai and Cheng (2004). A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of the proposed estimators. 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

Nonlinear heteroscedastic models are widely used in econometrics and statistical applications. We derive matrix formulae for the second-order biases of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters in the mean and variance response which generalize previous results by Cook et al. (1986) and Cordeiro (1993). The biases of the estimators are easily obtained as vectors of regression coefficients from suitable weighted linear regressions. The practical use of such biases is illustrated in a simulation study and in an application to a real data set. 相似文献

A large sample test is proposed for a problem of testing for a specified difference between two binomial proportions. The test is compared to the tests by Falk and Koch (1998), and Parmet and Schechtman (2007), and is shown to dominate in terms of the Type I error rate control. Asymptotic power is derived for each test and is shown to result in values quite proximate to the simulated power values. In addition, formulas to perform sample size estimation are provided. These methods are expected to be especially valuable in the design stage when obtaining the correct power/sample size estimation is essential. 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

For the first time, we provide a matrix formula for second-order covariances of maximum likelihood estimates in heteroskedastic generalized linear models, thus generalizing the results of Cordeiro (2004) and Cordeiro et al. (2006) related to the generalized linear models with known and unknown dispersion parameter, respectively. The covariance matrix formula does not involve cumulants of log-likelihood derivatives and can be easily obtained using simple matrix operations. We apply our main result to a simple model. Some simulations show that the second-order covariances can be quite pronounced in small to moderate samples. The usual covariances of the maximum likelihood estimates can be corrected by these second-order covariances. 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
