On the suitability of the internet multimedia storage for steganographic information transfer in MP4 files

Matúš Jókay, Ján Baroš (2012)

Kybernetika

The aim of this work is to analyze suitability of existing internet multimedia storage services to use as a covert (steganographic) transmission channel. After general overview we focus specifically on the YouTube service. In particular, we study the feasibility of the recently proposed new steganographic technique [6] of hiding information directly in the structure of the mp4-encoded video file. Our statistical analysis of the set of 1000 video files stored by this service show the practical limitations...

On the tail dependence in bivariate hydrological frequency analysis

Alexandre Lekina, Fateh Chebana, Taha B. M. J. Ouarda (2015)

Dependence Modeling

In Bivariate Frequency Analysis (BFA) of hydrological events, the study and quantification of the dependence between several variables of interest is commonly carried out through Pearson’s correlation (r), Kendall’s tau (τ) or Spearman’s rho (ρ). These measures provide an overall evaluation of the dependence. However, in BFA, the focus is on the extreme events which occur on the tail of the distribution. Therefore, these measures are not appropriate to quantify the dependence in the tail distribution....

On the tail index estimation of an autoregressive Pareto process

Marta Ferreira (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In this paper we consider an autoregressive Pareto process which can be used as an alternative to heavy tailed MARMA. We focus on the tail behavior and prove that the tail empirical quantile function can be approximated by a Gaussian process. This result allows to derive a class of consistent and asymptotically normal estimators for the shape parameter. We will see through simulation that the usual estimation procedure based on an i.i.d. setting may fall short of the desired precision.

On the two-sided quality control

František Rublík (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Let the random variable X have the normal distribution N ( μ , σ 2 ) . Explicit formulas for maximum likelihood estimator of μ , σ are derived under the hypotheses μ + c σ m + δ , μ - c σ m - δ , where c , m , δ are arbitrary fixed numbers. Asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic for testing this hypothesis is derived and some of its quantiles are presented.

On the use of difference of two proportions

Saralees Nadarajah (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Differences of two proportions occur most frequently in biomedical research. However, as far as published work is concerned, only approximations have been used to study the distribution of such differences. In this note, we derive the exact probability distribution of the difference of two proportions for seven flexible beta type distributions. The expressions involve several well known special functions. The use of these results with respect to known approximations is illustrated.
