A NEW UPPER BOUND FOR THE EFFICIENCY FACTOR OF A BLOCK DESIGN

An upper bound for the efficiency factor of a block design, which in many cases is tighter than those reported by other authors, is derived. The bound is based on a lower bound for E(1/X) in terms of E(X) and var(X) for a random variable X on the unit interval. For the special case of resolvable designs, an improved bound is given which also competes with known bounds for resolvable designs in some cases.     

Valid Resampling of Higher-Order Statistics Using the Linear Process Bootstrap and Autoregressive Sieve Bootstrap

We show that the linear process bootstrap (LPB) and the autoregressive sieve bootstrap (AR sieve) are, in general, not valid for statistics whose large-sample distribution depends on moments of order higher than two, irrespective of whether the data come from a linear time series or not. Inspired by the block-of-blocks bootstrap, we circumvent this non-validity by applying the LPB and AR sieve to suitably blocked data and not to the original data itself. In a simulation study, we compare the LPB, AR sieve, and moving block bootstrap applied directly and to blocked data.     

Finding the PDF of the hypoexponential random variable using the Kad matrix similar to the general Vandermonde matrix

ABSTRACT

The sum of independent exponential random variables – the hypoexponential random variables – plays an important role of modeling in many domains. Khuong and Kong in (2006) Khuong, H.V., Kong, H.Y. (2006). General expression for pdf of a sum of independent exponential random variables. IEEE Commun. Lett. 10: 159–161.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] were concerned in evaluating the performance of some diversity scheme, which deals with the problem of finding the probability density function of this hypoexponential random variable. They considered a particular case of m independent exponential random variable, when l random variables have the same mean and m ? l remaining random variables of different means and they found a closed expression of its probability density function. In this paper, we consider the general case of the hypoexponential random variable when the means do not have to be distinct. We find a more simple and general closed expression of its probability density function than that of Khuong and Kong. This expression is obtained using a new defined matrix called the Kad matrix, which is similar to the general Vandermonde matrix. Eventually, we present an application illustrating our work.     

Some inference results in bivariate exponential distributions rased on censored samples

In this paper, two bivariate exponential distributions based on time(right) censored samples are presented. We assume that the censoring time is independent of the life-times of the two components. This paper obtains comparison of different tests for testing zero and non-zero values of the parameter λ₃ which measures the degree of

dependence between the two components and also testing symmetry of the two components or λ₁=λ₂ in

the bivariate exponential distribution (BVED) formulated by Marshall and Olkin (1967) based on the above censored sample. It is observed from simulated study that the test based on MLE's performs better in both tests of independence as well as symmetry. The above results have been extended also in Block and Basu (19874) model.     

E-optimal block designs under heteroscedastic model

This paper mainly studies the E-optimality of block designs under a general heteroscedastic setting. The C-matrix of a block design under a heteroscedastic setting is obtained by using generalized least squares. Some bounds for the smallest positive eigenvalue of C-matrix are obtained in some general classes of connected designs. Use of these bounds is then made to obtain certain E-optimal block designs in various classes of connected block designs.
