A method is introduced to select the significant or non null mean terms among a collection
of independent random variables. As an application we consider the problem of
recovering the
significant coefficients in non ordered model selection. The method is based on a convenient random centering of
the partial sums of the ordered observations. Based on
L-statistics methods we show consistency of the proposed
estimator.
An extension to unknown parametric distributions is considered.

Classical goodness of fit tests are no longer asymptotically distributional free if parameters are estimated. For a parametric model and the maximum likelihood estimator the empirical processes with estimated parameters is asymptotically transformed into a time transformed Brownian bridge by adding an independent Gaussian process that is suitably constructed. This randomization makes the classical tests distributional free. The power under local alternatives is investigated. Computer simulations...
In this paper a new rank test in a linear regression model is introduced. The test statistic is based on a certain minimum distance estimator, however, unlike classical rank tests in regression it is not a simple linear rank statistic. Its exact distribution under the null hypothesis is derived, and further, the asymptotic distribution both under the null hypothesis and the local alternative is investigated. It is shown that the proposed test is applicable in measurement error models. Finally, a...
This paper deals with the hypotheses of symmetry of distributions with respect to a location parameter when the response variables are subject to measurement errors. Rank tests of hypotheses about the location parameter and the related R-estimators are studied in an asymptotic set up. It is shown, when and under what conditions, these rank tests and R-estimators can be used effectively, and the effect of measurement errors on the power of the test and on the efficiency of the R-estimators is indicated....
In the development of efficient predictive models, the key is to identify suitable predictors for a given linear model. For the first time, this paper provides a comparative study of ridge regression, LASSO, preliminary test and Stein-type estimators based on the theory of rank statistics. Under the orthonormal design matrix of a given linear model, we find that the rank based ridge estimator outperforms the usual rank estimator, restricted R-estimator, rank-based LASSO, preliminary test and Stein-type...
In this paper properties of some ranking and selection procedures based on robust -estimates of location parameter are studied. The least favorable configuration of parameters and the asymptotic efficiency relative to procedures based on sample means are found.
