Robust Estimation Methods in Random Intercept Model: A Comparative Study [PDF]
Random Intercept regression models are used in modeling grouped data where the observations are correlated in each group. This paper present a comperative sinulation study between parametric and two robust estimation methods to assess the influence of

Matched Pairs with Binary Outcomes
Comparison of two treatments in matched pairs is a powerful general method for improving precision. When the outcome is binary the formulation in terms of logistic comparisons leads to an analysis in which concordant pairs, that is pairs in which both ...

A Testing for New Renewal Better than Used Class of Survival Functions [PDF]
A U-statistic is derived for testing exponentiality against new renewal better (worse) than used. For this class of life distributions, a nonparametric procedure (U-statistic) is presented in this investigation. Selected critical values are tabulated for

On Optimal and Asymptotic Properties of a Fuzzy L2 Estimator
A fuzzy least squares estimator in the multiple with fuzzy-input–fuzzy-output linear regression model is considered. The paper provides a formula for the L2 estimator of the fuzzy regression model. This paper proposes several operations for fuzzy numbers

Goodness of Fit Approach for Testing Exponential Better than Used in Convex for Life Distributions [PDF]
Test statistic is derived for testing exponentiality against exponential better (worse) than used in convex EBUC (EWUC). Selected critical values are tabulated for sample size n=5(1)25(5) 50.

Two symmetric and computationally efficient Gini correlations
Standard Gini correlation plays an important role in measuring the dependence between random variables with heavy-tailed distributions. It is based on the covariance between one variable and the rank of the other. Hence for each pair of random variables,

Testing Exponentiality Against UBAC Using Kernel Methods [PDF]
In this paper, the problem of testing exponentiality against used better than aged in convex ordering classes of life distributions is investigated. For this property a nonparametric test is presented based on kernel method.
