Search for a majority element

A new short proof of a theorem of Saks and Werman is given about the number of weighings necessary and sufficient to determine a majority type coin among n coins of two possible weights by comparisons. A lower bound on the number of good algorithms is proved and further questions are posed about determining the majority in different weighing models.     

Detection and Interpretation of a Multivariate Signal Using Combined Charts

A control procedure is presented in this article that is based on jointly using two separate control statistics in the detection and interpretation of signals in a multivariate normal process. The procedure detects the following three situations: (i) a mean vector shift without a shift in the covariance matrix; (ii) a shift in process variation (covariance matrix) without a mean vector shift; and (iii) both a simultaneous shift in the mean vector and covariance matrix as the result of a change in the parameters of some key process variables. It is shown that, following the occurrence of a signal on either of the separate control charts, the values from both of the corresponding signaling statistics can be decomposed into interpretable elements. Viewing the two decompositions together helps one to specifically identify the individual components and associated variables that are being affected. These components may include individual means or variances of the process variables as well as the correlations between or among variables. An industrial data set is used to illustrate the procedure.     

A new test for the extreme value distribution

In this paper a test statistic which is a modification of the W statistic for testing the goodness of fit for the two paremeter extreme value (smallest element) distribution is proposed. The test statistic Is obtained as the ratio of two linear estimates of the scale parameter. It Is shown that the suggested statistic is computationally simple and has good power properties. Percentage points of the statistic are obtained by performing Monte Carlo experiments. An example is given to illustrate the test procedure.

Analysis of survival data by a Weibull-generalized Poisson distribution

In life-testing and survival analysis, sometimes the components are arranged in series or parallel system and the number of components is initially unknown. Thus, the number of components, say Z, is considered as random with an appropriate probability mass function. In this paper, we model the survival data with baseline distribution as Weibull and the distribution of Z as generalized Poisson, giving rise to four parameters in the model: increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upside bathtub failure rates. Two examples are provided and the maximum-likelihood estimation of the parameters is studied. Rao's score test is developed to compare the results with the exponential Poisson model studied by Kus [17] and the exponential-generalized Poisson distribution with baseline distribution as exponential and the distribution of Z as generalized Poisson. Simulation studies are carried out to examine the performance of the estimates.     

作为一种批评概念的“晚期风格”——萨义德对身体状况和美学风格关系的思考

"晚期风格"是萨义德晚年思考的核心问题,更是理解他晚期思想的关键.萨义德明确界定了"晚期风格",并通过高雅文化、通俗文化和艺术名家等三种话语策略证明了"晚期风格"的自我放逐特征.他将"晚期风格"作为一种向死而生的美学类型,认为它是艺术家以曲折的方式来表达对日益临近的死亡的思考、体验和审美超越.
