The distribution of each member of the family of statistics based on the -divergence for testing goodness-of-fit is a chi-squared to (Pardo [pard96]). In this paper a closer approximation to the exact distribution is obtained by extracting the -dependent second order component from the term.
In this paper sign and Wilcoxon tests for testing the null hypothesis of quadratic regression versus the alternative, cubic regression are proposed. It is shown that in the case of a simple design consisting of multiple Y observations at each of the four levels of x, the proposed tests perform reasonably well as compared to their parametric competitors, while in the case of a general design consisting of a large number of levels of x, the loss in Pitman efficiency is considerable. However their...
The distributions of rank order statistics are studied for the case of arbitrary sample sizes in the two sample problem. The method applied is a generalization of Dwass's method from his paper in Ann. Math. Statist. 38 (1967), based on the analogy of rank order statistics and functions on a simple random walk.
Simultaneous rank test procedures are proposed for testing of randomness concerning some marginals. The considered test procedures are analogous to those introduced by Krishnaiah for classical normal theory (see Krishnaiah (1965) Ann. Inst. Statist. Math. 17, 35-53).
We present new goodness-of-fit tests for the exponential distribution based on equidistribution type characterizations. For the construction of the test statistics, we employ an -distance between the corresponding V-empirical distribution functions. The resulting test statistics are V-statistics, free of the scale parameter. The quality of the tests is assessed through local Bahadur efficiencies as well as the empirical power for small and moderate sample sizes. According to both criteria, for...
The paper discusses applications of permutation arguments in testing problems in linear models. Particular attention will be paid to the application in L₁-test procedures. Theoretical results will beaccompanied by a simulation study.
We investigate controlling false discovery rate (FDR) under dependence. Our main result is a generalization of the results obtained by Genovese and Wasserman (2004) and Farcomeni (2007).
Many protein sequences present non trivial periodicities, such as cysteine signatures and leucine heptads. These known periodicities probably represent a small percentage of the total number of sequences periodic structures, and it is useful to have general tools to detect such sequences and their period in large databases of sequences. We compare three statistics adapted from those used in time series analysis: a generalisation of the simple autocovariance based on a similarity score and two statistics...

Las Tablas de la Longitud de Ráfaga Media (LRM) para los Gráficos de Control por Sumas Acumuladas (SUMAC) sólo se habían deducido para el control de la media de un proceso distribuido normalmente, si bien también puede salir fuera de control por la variabilidad. Este trabajo describe cómo seleccionar los parámetros de un esquema SUMAC, para la media y desviación tipo muestrales, según la situación bajo control especificada conjuntamente por la media m0 y la desviación tipo σ0, y el estado fuera...
