The design of constant‐stress accelerated life‐test (CSALT) is important in reliability estimation. In reliability studies, practitioners usually rely on underlying distribution to design CSALTs.

Likelihood-based estimation and prediction for a measles outbreak in Samoa
Prediction of the progression of an infectious disease outbreak is important for planning and coordinating a response. Differential equations are often used to model an epidemic outbreak's behaviour but are challenging to parameterise. Furthermore, these

Propensity score weighting under limited overlap and model misspecification [PDF]
Propensity score weighting methods are often used in non-randomized studies to adjust for confounding and assess treatment effects. The most popular among them, the inverse probability weighting, assigns weights that are proportional to the inverse of ...

Environmental public good provision under robust decision making [PDF]
We study public good provision in a two-country dynamic setup with environmental externalities. In this framework, we examine robust decision making under potential misspecification of the process that describes the evolution of the environmental ...

This study presents an empirical method of modeling the nonnegativity of dependent variables using truncated logistic and normal disturbance distributions. The method is applied in estimating a ranch land hedonic price function.

Bootstrap confidence sets under model misspecification [PDF]
A multiplier bootstrap procedure for construction of likelihood-based confidence sets is considered for finite samples and a possible model misspecification. Theoretical results justify the bootstrap validity for a small or moderate sample size and allow

Specifying Turning Point in Piecewise Growth Curve Models: Challenges and Solutions
Piecewise growth curve model (PGCM) is often used when the underlying growth process is not linear and is hypothesized to consist of phasic developments connected by turning points (or knots or change points).

Model misspecification in approximate Bayesian computation: consequences and diagnostics
We analyse the behaviour of approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) when the model generating the simulated data differs from the actual data‐generating process, i.e. when the data simulator in ABC is misspecified. We demonstrate both theoretically and in
