Efficiency rate and local deficiency of the most powerful tests in the model of contaminacy with general neighbourhoods
An estimator of the contamination level of data is proposed in the framework of linear models and its asymptotic behavior is investigated. A numerical study illustrates its finite sample performance under an alternative.
The probability density function of the stochastic cusp model belongs to the class of generalized exponential distributions. It accommodates variable skewness, kurtosis, and bimodality. A statistical test for bimodality of the stochastic cusp model using the maximum likelihood estimation and delta method for Cardan's discriminant is introduced in this paper, as is a necessary condition for bimodality, which can be used for simplified testing to reject bimodality. Numerical maximum likelihood estimation...
The aim of this article is to develop estimation functions by confidence regions for the inverse Gaussian distribution with two parameters and to construct tests for hypotheses testing concerning the parameter when the mean parameter is known. The tests constructed are uniformly most powerful tests and for testing the point null hypothesis it is also unbiased.
Let {bH(t), t∈ℝ} be the fractional brownian motion with parameter 0<H<1. When 1/2<H, we consider diffusion equations of the type X(t)=c+∫0tσ(X(u)) dbH(u)+∫0tμ(X(u)) du. In different particular models where σ(x)=σ or σ(x)=σ x and μ(x)=μ or μ(x)=μ x, we propose a central limit theorem for estimators of H and of σ based on regression methods. Then we give tests of the hypothesis on σ for these models. We also consider functional estimation on σ(⋅)...
In this paper it is shown how one can work out exact distributions of estimators and test statistics in the model of a regression line for the threshold parameter with exponential distribution of errors. This is done on a test statistics which is related to a problem of Zvára [Zvara95].
The failure time distribution for various items often follows a shifted (two-parameter) exponential model and not the traditional (one-parameter) exponential model. The shifted exponential is very useful in practice, in particular in the engineering, biomedical sciences and industrial quality control when modeling time to event or survival data. The open problem of simultaneous testing for differences in origin and scale parameters of two shifted exponential distributions is addressed. Two exact...
