Abstract

The company now known as DC began as National Periodicals, publishing anthology series such as Adventure Comics, More Fun Comics, and Detective Comics. Superman, the first true “super-hero,” appeared on the scene in a brief story in Action Comics no. 1 (June, 1938). Batman appeared not long after, in the pages of Detective Comics no. 27 (May 1939)|3-and the world was never the same. In the late 1940s, National absorbed its competitor Ail-American Comics (which published such series as Green Lantern, Aquaman, and Green Arrow) and changed the company's name to Detective Comics, “DC” for short. The merger made DC the largest comic book company until the 1950s, when interest in the medium dried up, and Dell, who at that time published Walt Disney's comic books, took over the top spot.  相似文献

There are many situations where n objects are ranked by b>2 independent sources or observers and in which the interest is focused on agreement on the top rankings. Kendall's coefficient of concordance [10 M. Kendall and B. Smith, The problem of m rankings, Ann. Math. Stat. 10 (1939), pp. 275287. doi: 10.1214/aoms/1177732186[Crossref] [Google Scholar]] assigns equal weights to all rankings. In this paper, a new coefficient of concordance is introduced which is more sensitive to agreement on the top rankings. The limiting distribution of the new concordance coefficient under the null hypothesis of no association among the rankings is presented, and a summary of the exact and approximate quantiles for this coefficient is provided. A simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of Kendall's, the top-down and the new concordance coefficients in detecting the agreement on the top rankings. Finally, examples are given for illustration purposes, including a real data set from financial market indices.  相似文献

The purpose of this article is to explain cross-validation and describe its use in regression. Because replicability analyses are not typically employed in studies, this is a topic with which many researchers may not be familiar. As a result, researchers may not understand how to conduct cross-validation in order to evaluate the replicability of their data. This article not only explains the purpose of cross-validation, but also uses the widely available Holzinger and Swineford (1939 Holzinger, K.J., Swineford, F. (1939). A Study in Factor Analysis: The Stability of a Bi-Factor Solution. Chicago, IL: University of Chicago. Available at: http://people.cehd.tamu.edu/~bthompson/datasets.htm [Google Scholar]) dataset as a heuristic example to concretely demonstrate its use. By incorporating multiple tables and examples of SPSS syntax and output, the reader is provided with additional visual examples in order to further clarify the steps involved in conducting cross-validation. A brief discussion of the limitations of cross-validation is also included. After reading this article, the reader should have a clear understanding of cross-validation, including when it is appropriate to use, and how it can be used to evaluate replicability in regression.  相似文献

In this paper, a new survival cure rate model is introduced considering the Yule–Simon distribution [12 H.A. Simon, On a class of skew distribution functions, Biometrika 42 (1955), pp. 425440.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]] to model the number of concurrent causes. We study some properties of this distribution and the model arising when the distribution of the competing causes is the Weibull model. We call this distribution the Weibull–Yule–Simon distribution. Maximum likelihood estimation is conducted for model parameters. A small scale simulation study is conducted indicating satisfactory parameter recovery by the estimation approach. Results are applied to a real data set (melanoma) illustrating the fact that the model proposed can outperform traditional alternative models in terms of model fitting.  相似文献

Non Symmetric Correspondence Analysis (NSCA) (D'Ambra and Lauro, 1989 D'Ambra , L. , Lauro , N. ( 1989 ). Non symmetrical analysis of three way contingency tables . In: Multiway Data Analysis , Coppi , R. , Bolasco , S. , Eds., North Holland , Amsterdam : pp. 301315 . [Google Scholar]) is a useful technique for analyzing a two-way contingency table.

The key difference between the symmetrical and non symmetrical versions of correspondence analysis rests on the measure of the association used to quantify the relationship between the variables. For a two-way, or multi-way, contingency table, the Pearson chi-squared statistic is commonly used when it can be assumed that the categorical variables are symmetrically related. However, for a two-way table, it may be that one variable can be treated as a predictor variable and the second variable can be considered as a response variable.

Yet, for such a variable structure, the Pearson chi-squared statistic is not an appropriate measure of the association. Instead, one may consider the Goodman-Kruskal tau index. In the case that there are more than two cross-classified variables, multivariate versions of the Goodman-Kruskal tau index can be considered. These include Marcotorchino's index (Marcotorchino, 1985) and Gray-Williams’ index (Gray and Williams, 1975 Gray , L. N. , Williams , J. S. ( 1975 ). Goodman and Kruskals Tau B: Multiple and partial analogy. Amer. Statist. Assoc. Proc. Soc. Statist. Sec. pp. 444448 . [Google Scholar]).

In this article, the Multiple non Symmetric Correspondence Analysis (MNSCA), along with the decomposition of the TAU by Gray-Williams in main effects and interaction (D'Ambra et al., 2011 D'Ambra , L. , D'Ambra , A. , Sarnacchiaro , P. ( 2011 ). Visualising main effects and interaction term in multiple non symmetric correspondence analysis. Submitted.  [Google Scholar]), is used for the evaluation of the innovative performance of the manufacturing enterprises in Campania.

Finally, to identify a category which is statistically significant, the confidence ellipses have been proposed for the Multiple Non Symmetric Correspondence Analysis starting from the ellipses suggested by Beh (2010 Beh , E. J. ( 2010 ). Elliptical confidence regions for simple correspondence analysis . J. Statisti. Plann. Infer. [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]) for the symmetrical analysis.  相似文献

The authors derive the analytic expressions for the mean and variance of the log-likelihood ratio for testing equality of k (k ≥ 2) normal populations, and suggest a chi-square approximation and a gamma approximation to the exact null distribution. Numerical comparisons show that the two approximations and the original beta approximation of Neyman and Pearson (1931 Neyman , J. , Pearson , E. S. ( 1931 ). On the problem of k samples . In: Neyman , J. , Pearson , E. S. , eds. Joint Statistical Papers . Cambridge : Cambridge University Press , pp. 116131 . [Google Scholar]) are all accurate, and the gamma approximation is the most accurate.  相似文献

Lindeman et al. [12 Lindeman, R. H., Merenda, P. F. and Gold, R. Z. 1980. Introduction to Bivariate and Multivariate Analysis, Glenview, IL: Scott Foresman.  [Google Scholar]] provide a unique solution to the relative importance of correlated predictors in multiple regression by averaging squared semi-partial correlations obtained for each predictor across all p! orderings. In this paper, we propose a series of predictor sensitivity statistics that complement the variance decomposition procedure advanced by Lindeman et al. [12 Lindeman, R. H., Merenda, P. F. and Gold, R. Z. 1980. Introduction to Bivariate and Multivariate Analysis, Glenview, IL: Scott Foresman.  [Google Scholar]]. First, we detail the logic of averaging over orderings as a technique of variance partitioning. Second, we assess predictors by conditional dominance analysis, a qualitative procedure designed to overcome defects in the Lindeman et al. [12 Lindeman, R. H., Merenda, P. F. and Gold, R. Z. 1980. Introduction to Bivariate and Multivariate Analysis, Glenview, IL: Scott Foresman.  [Google Scholar]] variance decomposition solution. Third, we introduce a suite of indices to assess the sensitivity of a predictor to model specification, advancing a series of sensitivity-adjusted contribution statistics that allow for more definite quantification of predictor relevance. Fourth, we describe the analytic efficiency of our proposed technique against the Budescu conditional dominance solution to the uneven contribution of predictors across all p! orderings.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

The search for optimal non-parametric estimates of the cumulative distribution and hazard functions under order constraints inspired at least two earlier classic papers in mathematical statistics: those of Kiefer and Wolfowitz[1] Kiefer, J. and Wolfowitz, J. 1976. Asymptotically Minimax Estimation of Concave and Convex Distribution Functions. Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete, 34: 7385. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar] and Grenander[2] Grenander, U. 1956. On the Theory of Mortality Measurement. Part II. Scand. Aktuarietidskrift J., 39: 125153.  [Google Scholar] respectively. In both cases, either the greatest convex minorant or the least concave majorant played a fundamental role. Based on Kiefer and Wolfowitz's work, Wang3-4 Wang, J.L. 1986. Asymptotically Minimax Estimators for Distributions with Increasing Failure Rate. Ann. Statist., 14: 11131131. Wang, J.L. 1987. Estimators of a Distribution Function with Increasing Failure Rate Average. J. Statist. Plann. Inference, 16: 415427.   found asymptotically minimax estimates of the distribution function F and its cumulative hazard function Λ in the class of all increasing failure rate (IFR) and all increasing failure rate average (IFRA) distributions. In this paper, we will prove limit theorems which extend Wang's asymptotic results to the mixed censorship/truncation model as well as provide some other relevant results. The methods are illustrated on the Channing House data, originally analysed by Hyde.5-6 Hyde, J. 1977. Testing Survival Under Right Censoring and Left Truncation. Biometrika, 64: 225230.

Wu, Unsupervised possibilistic clustering, Pattern Recognit. 30 (2006), pp. 521. doi: 10.1016/j.patcog.2005.07.005[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]] idea to propose a possibilistic k-means (PkM) clustering algorithm for LR-type fuzzy numbers. The memberships in the objective function of PkM no longer need to satisfy the constraint in fuzzy k-means that of a data point across classes sum to one. However, the clustering performance of PkM depends on the initializations and weighting exponent. In this paper, we propose a robust clustering method based on a self-updating procedure. The proposed algorithm not only solves the initialization problems but also obtains a good clustering result. Several numerical examples also demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed clustering method, especially the robustness to initial values and noise. Finally, three real fuzzy data sets are used to illustrate the superiority of this proposed algorithm.  相似文献

We observe X 1,…,X k , where X i has density f(x i ) possessing monotone likelihood ratio. The best population corresponds to the largest θ i . We select the population corresponding to the largest X i . The goal is to attach the best possible p-value to the inference: the selected population has the uniquely largest θ i . Gutmann and Maymin (1987 Gutmann , S. , Maymin , Z. ( 1987 ). Is the selected population the best? Ann. Statist . 15 : 456461 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]) considered the location parameter case and derived the supremum of the error probability by conditioning on S, the index of the largest X i . Using this conditioning approach, Kannan and Panchapakesan (2009 Kannan , N. , Panchapakesan , S. ( 2009 ). Does the selected normal population have the smallest variance? Amer. J. Math. Management Sci . 29 : To appear . [Google Scholar]) considered the problem for the gamma family. We consider here a unified approach to both the location and scale parameter cases, and obtain the supremum of the error probability without using conditioning.  相似文献

Recently, [1] Ebrahimi, N. 1996. How to measure uncertainty about residual life time. Sankhya Ser. A, 58: 4857.  [Google Scholar] proposed a dynamic measure based on differential entropy applied to the residual lifetime. This measure has been used for the classification and ordering of survival functions. More recently, [2] Ebrahimi, N. 1997. Testing whether lifetime distribution is decreasing uncertainty. Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, 64: 919. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar] has considered the problem of testing the monotonicity of this measure. We propose and study several kernel type estimators of the entropy of residual life through the estimation of f(x) log f(x). These estimators can be applied to the classification and comparison of lifetime distribution.  相似文献

Modified Likelihood Ratio and Score Tests in Linear Regression Models Using the t Distribution. Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics, 10: 1533.  [Google Scholar] for homoskedastic t regression models. We present, in matrix notation, Bartlett-type correction formulae to improve score tests in this class of models. The corrected score statistics have a chi-squared distribution to order n ?1, where n is the sample size. We apply our main result to a few special models and present simulation results comparing the performance of the usual score tests and their corrected versions.  相似文献

The above authors also developed models and bounds for monotone increasing failure rates (IFR) and for monotone decreasing failure rates (DFR).

Journal of Quality Technology 30(4):376–385.] which is comparable to the model based on the failure rate. It is shown that in the case of increasing log odds rate (ILOR) in terms of log time (ln t), the model is less stringent than the IFR model for aging. The characterization of distributions of failure time by log odds rate is also derived. It is shown that the logistic distribution has the property of constant log odds rate over time and that the log logistic distribution has the property of constant log odds rate with respect to ln t. Some other properties of ILOR distributions are presented and bounds based on the relationship to the log logistic distribution are provided for distributions which are ILOR with respect to ln t. Motivational examples are provided. The ILOR bounds are compared to the more stringent bounds based on the IFR model. Bounds on system reliability are also provided for certain systems.  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 Jeffreys , H. ( 1967 ). Theory of Probability , 3rd rev. ed. . London : Oxford University Press . [Google Scholar]), Lindley (1956 Lindley , D. V. ( 1956 ). On a measure of the information provided by an experiment . Ann. Mathemat.

Various modifications of this test were considered by Bol'shev, Ibrakimov and Khalfina (Ibrakimov, I. A., Khalfina 1978 Ibrakimov, I. A. and Khalfina. 1978.

First is Dixon's while the second is based on the ratio of the sum of the observations suspected to be outliers to the sum of all observations of the sample. In fact, most of these authors have considered a general case of gamma model and the results for exponential model are given a special case. The object of the present communication is to focus on alternative models, namely slippage alternatives (see Barnett, Vic., Toby Lewis 1978 Barnett, Vic. and Toby, Lewis. 1978. Outlier in Statistical Data New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc..  [Google Scholar]. Outlier in Statistical Data. New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.) in exponential samples. We propose a statistic different from the well known Dixon's statistic Dr to test for multiple outliers. Distribution of the test based on this new statistic under slippage alternatives is obtained and hence the tables of critical values are given, for various n (size of the sample) and r (the number of outliers). The power of the new test is also calculated, it is compared to the power of the Dixon's statistic (Chikkagoudar, M. S., Kunchur, S. H. 1983 Chikkagoudar, M. S. and Kunchur, S. H. 1983. Distribution of test statistics for multiple outliers in exponential samples. Comm. Stat. Theory. and Meth., 12: 21272142. [Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] [Google Scholar]. Distribution of test statistics for multiple outliers in exponential samples. Comm. Stat. Theory. and Meth. 12:2127–2142.). Notice that the new statistic based test power is greater the Dixon's statistic based test one.  相似文献

Canonical form plays a similar role in linear models to spectral decomposition in matrix analysis. Let X = (X 1,…, X n )′ be a random vector with expectation Aβ and the variance–covariance matrix σV, where V is positive definite and let rank(A) = r. Then there exists a nonsingular linear transformation from X to T = (T 1,…, T n )′, such that ET i  = η i , for i = 1,…, r and zero for i > r, while cov(T i , T j ) = δ ij σ. This canonical form, introduced by Ko?odziejczyk (1935 Ko?odziejczyk , S. ( 1935 ). On an important class of statistical hypotheses . Biometrika 27 : 161190 .[Crossref] [Google Scholar]), was used, among others, by Scheffé (1959 Scheffé , H. ( 1959 ). Analysis of Variance . New York : Wiley . [Google Scholar]) and by Lehmann (1959, 1986 Lehmann , E. L. (1959, 1986 ). Testing Statistical Hypotheses . New York : Wiley . [Google Scholar]). This technique is extended here for arbitrary (possibly singular) V and for simultaneous canonization of two models of this type.  相似文献

The allometric extension model is a multivariate regression model recently proposed by Tarpey and Ivey (2006 Tarpey, T., Ivey, C.T. (2006). Allometric extension for multivariate regression. J. Data Sci. 4:479495. [Google Scholar]). This model holds when the matrix of covariances between the variables in the response vector y and the variables in the vector of regressors x has a particular structure. In this paper, we consider tests of hypotheses for this structure when (y′, x′)′ has a multivariate normal distribution. In particular, we investigate the likelihood ratio test and a Wald test.  相似文献
