A class of tests for exponentiality based on a continuum of moment conditions

Simos G. Meintanis (2009)

Kybernetika

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...

A general class of entropy statistics

María Dolores Esteban (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

To study the asymptotic properties of entropy estimates, we use a unified expression, called the H h , v ϕ 1 , ϕ 2 -entropy. Asymptotic distributions for these statistics are given in several cases when maximum likelihood estimators are considered, so they can be used to construct confidence intervals and to test statistical hypotheses based on one or more samples. These results can also be applied to multinomial populations.

A new family of compound lifetime distributions

A. Asgharzadeh, Hassan S. Bakouch, Saralees Nadarajah, L. Esmaeili (2014)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we introduce a general family of continuous lifetime distributions by compounding any continuous distribution and the Poisson-Lindley distribution. It is more flexible than several recently introduced lifetime distributions. The failure rate functions of our family can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub shaped and unimodal shaped. Several properties of this family are investigated including shape characteristics of the probability density, moments, order statistics, (reversed) residual...

A note on the distribution of angles associated to indefinite integral binary quadratic forms

Dragan Đokić (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

To each indefinite integral binary quadratic form Q , we may associate the geodesic in through the roots of quadratic equation Q ( x , 1 ) . In this paper we study the asymptotic distribution (as discriminant tends to infinity) of the angles between these geodesics and one fixed vertical geodesic which intersects all of them.
