Computing and approximating multivariate chi-square probabilities

We consider computational methods for evaluating and approximating multivariate chi-square probabilities in cases where the pertaining correlation matrix or blocks thereof have a low factorial representation. To this end, techniques from matrix factorization and probability theory are applied. We outline a variety of statistical applications of multivariate chi-square distributions and provide a system of MATLAB programs implementing the proposed algorithms. Computer simulations demonstrate the accuracy and the computational efficiency of our methods in comparison with Monte Carlo approximations, and a real data example from statistical genetics illustrates their usage in practice.     

Bias corrected MLEs under progressive type-II censoring scheme

ABSTRACT

Censoring frequently occurs in survival analysis but naturally observed lifetimes are not of a large size. Thus, inferences based on the popular maximum likelihood (ML) estimation which often give biased estimates should be corrected in the sense of bias. Here, we investigate the biases of ML estimates under the progressive type-II censoring scheme (pIIcs). We use a method proposed in Efron and Johnstone [Fisher's information in terms of the hazard rate. Technical Report No. 264, January 1987, Stanford University, Stanford, California; 1987] to derive general expressions for bias corrected ML estimates under the pIIcs. This requires derivation of the Fisher information matrix under the pIIcs. As an application, exact expressions are given for bias corrected ML estimates of the Weibull distribution under the pIIcs. The performance of the bias corrected ML estimates and ML estimates are compared by simulations and a real data application.

吊杆的张拉直接关系到系杆拱桥成桥后能否达到合理成桥状态,因此吊杆施工张拉力的确定是拱桥施工中的关键问题。首先运用正装迭代法模拟系杆拱桥吊杆的初张拉过程,得到施加二期恒载后各吊杆内力;然后运用影响矩阵法确定了吊杆二次张拉的控制力,以指导实际施工。基于大型分析软件ANSYS,提出了一种影响矩阵的简易求法。该方法概念明确,简单易行,对同类工程具有一定的参考价值。

单向收缩QR算法在奇异值分解中的收敛特性

针对大型矩阵奇异值分解的数值计算问题,总结了单向收缩QR算法的特点,通过实例证明了该算法在处理由某些小幅度信号构造的大型矩阵的奇异值分解时存在不收敛的情况。从理论上分析了QR迭代过程中Givens变换矩阵的变化特点,发现算法出现不收敛现象的根本原因在于大型矩阵首行对角带元素的衰减,最终会使QR迭代时的第一个Givens右矩阵变为单位阵,从而导致后面所有Givens矩阵全部成为单位阵,引起QR算法失效。在此基础上进一步研究了首行元素的衰减对QR算法收敛速度的影响。对理论分析用实际数据进行了验证,从本质上探明了该QR算法的收敛特性。     

On the comparison of the Fisher information of the log-normal and generalized Rayleigh distributions

Surles and Padgett recently considered two-parameter Burr Type X distribution by introducing a scale parameter and called it the generalized Rayleigh distribution. It is observed that the generalized Rayleigh and log-normal distributions have many common properties and both distributions can be used quite effectively to analyze skewed data set. In this paper, we mainly compare the Fisher information matrices of the two distributions for complete and censored observations. Although, both distributions may provide similar data fit and are quite similar in nature in many aspects, the corresponding Fisher information matrices can be quite different. We compute the total information measures of the two distributions for different parameter ranges and also compare the loss of information due to censoring. Real data analysis has been performed for illustrative purposes.

Performance of the difference-based Liu-type estimator in partially linear model

This paper discusses the parameter estimation in a partially linear model. We proposed a difference-based Liu-type estimator of the unknown parameters in the partially linear model. The asymptotically properties of the proposed estimator are discussed. We propose a iterative method to choose the biasing parameters. Finally, a simulation study and a numerical example are presented to explain the performance of the estimators.
