On a bivariate Poisson-geometric distribution
In this paper, we study a general structure for the so-called Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family of bivariate distributions. Through examples we show how to use the proposed structure to study dependence properties of the FGM type distributions by a general approach.
A four parameter trivariate Poisson distribution is considered. Recurrences for the probabilities and the partial derivatives of the probabilities with respect to the parameters are derived. Solutions of the maximum likelihood equations are obtaired and the determinant of their asymptotic covariance matrix is given. Applications of the maximum likelihood estimation technique to simulated data sets are also examined.
This note presents a critical examination of Dwass' method for obtaining the distribution of rank order statistics defined on random samples obtained from the same continuous population. New situations are discussed for the usefulness of the method.
The decomposition of the r.v. X with the beta second kind distribution in the form of finite (formula (9), Theorem 1) and infinity products (formula (17), Theorem 2 and form (21), Theorem 3) are presented. Next applying Mieshalkin - Rogozin theorem we receive the estimation of the difference of two c.d.f. F(x) and G(x) when sup|f(t) - g(t)| is known, improving the result of Gnedenko - Kolmogorov (formulae (23) and (24)).
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...
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.
Weerahandi (1995b) suggested a generalization of the Fisher's solution of the Behrens-Fisher problem to the problem of multiple comparisons with unequal variances by the method of generalized p-values. In this paper, we present a brief outline of the Fisher's solution and its generalization as well as the methods to calculate the p-values required for deriving the conservative joint confidence interval estimates for the pairwise mean differences, refered to as the generalized Scheffé intervals....
The compound Poisson-gamma variable is the sum of a random sample from a gamma distribution with sample size an independent Poisson random variable. It has received wide ranging applications. In this note, we give an account of its mathematical properties including estimation procedures by the methods of moments and maximum likelihood. Most of the properties given are hitherto unknown.
