On small sample inference for common mean in heteroscedastic one-way model

Viktor Witkovský, Alexander Savin, Gejza Wimmer (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In this paper we consider and compare several approximate methods for making small-sample statistical inference on the common mean in the heteroscedastic one-way random effects model. The topic of the paper was motivated by the problem of interlaboratory comparisons and is also known as the (traditional) common mean problem. It is also closely related to the problem of multicenter clinical trials and meta-analysis. Based on our simulation study we suggest to use the approach proposed by Kenward...

On solution sets of information inequalities

Nihat Ay, Walter Wenzel (2012)

Kybernetika

We investigate solution sets of a special kind of linear inequality systems. In particular, we derive characterizations of these sets in terms of minimal solution sets. The studied inequalities emerge as information inequalities in the context of Bayesian networks. This allows to deduce structural properties of Bayesian networks, which is important within causal inference.

On some alternative forms equivalent to Kruskal's condition for OLSE to be BLUE.

Gabriela Beganu (2007)

RACSAM

The necessary and sufficient condition for the ordinary least squares estimators (OLSE) to be the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE) of the expected mean in the general univariate linear regression model was given by Kruskal (1968) using a coordinate-free approach. The purpose of this article is to present in the same manner some alternative forms of this condition and to prove two of the Haberman’s equivalent conditions in a different and simpler way. The results obtained in the general univariate...

On some Mixture Distributions

Nakhi, Y. Ben, Kalla, S.L. (2004)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

The aim of this paper is to establish some mixture distributions that arise in stochastic processes. Some basic functions associated with the probability mass function of the mixture distributions, such as k-th moments, characteristic function and factorial moments are computed. Further we obtain a three-term recurrence relation for each established mixture distribution.

On some properties of ML and REML estimators in mixed normal models with two variance components

Stanisław Gnot, Andrzej Michalski, Agnieszka Urbańska-Motyka (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In the paper, the problem of estimation of variance components σ₁² and σ₂² by using the ML-method and REML-method in a normal mixed linear model 𝒩 {Y,E(Y) = Xβ, Cov(Y) = σ₁²V + σ₂²Iₙ} is considered. This paper deal with properties of estimators of variance components, particularly when an explicit form of these estimators is unknown. The conditions when the ML and REML estimators can be expressed in explicit forms are given, too. The simulation study for one-way classification unbalanced random...

On some strategies using auxiliary information for estimating finite population mean.

L. N. Sahoo, J. Sahoo, Mariano Ruiz Espejo (1998)

Qüestiió

This paper presents an empirical investigation of the performance of five strategies for estimating the finite population mean using parameters such as mean or variance or both of an auxiliary variable. The criteria used for the choices of these strategies are bias, efficiency and approach to normality (asymmetry).
