A chain regression estimator in two phase sampling using multi-auxiliary information.
A characteriyation of the Gamma distribution in terms of the -th conditional moment presented in this paper extends the result of Shunji Osaki and Xin-xiang Li (1988).
Is the Lebesgue measure on [0,1]² a unique product measure on [0,1]² which is transformed again into a product measure on [0,1]² by the mapping ψ(x,y) = (x,(x+y)mod 1))? Here a somewhat stronger version of this problem in a probabilistic framework is answered. It is shown that for independent and identically distributed random variables X and Y constancy of the conditional expectations of X+Y-I(X+Y > 1) and its square given X identifies uniform distribution either absolutely continuous or discrete....
The empirical moment process is utilized to construct a family of tests for the null hypothesis that a random variable is exponentially distributed. The tests are consistent against the 'new better than used in expectation' (NBUE) class of alternatives. Consistency is shown and the limit null distribution of the test statistic is derived, while efficiency results are also provided. The finite-sample properties of the proposed procedure in comparison to more standard procedures are investigated via...
We propose a class of unbiased and strongly consistent nonparametric kernel estimates of a probability density function, based on a random choice of the sample size and the kernel function. The expected sample size can be arbitrarily small and mild conditions on the local behavior of the density function are imposed.
