Tests for Two-Sample Location Problem Based on Subsample Quantiles [PDF]
This paper presents a new class of test procedures for two-sample location problem based on subsample quantiles. The class includes Mann-Whitney test as a special case. The asymptotic normality of the class of tests proposed is established.

Performance Analysis of Gini Correlator for Detecting Known Signals in Impulsive Noise
Detection of known signals embedded in additive noise is a fundamental problem in signal processing. For normally distributed noise, it is well known that the popular matched filter detector (MFD) is optimal.

The increase in urban population has required cities to rethink their strategies for minimising greenhouse gas impacts and adapting to climate change. While urban design and planning policy have been guided by principles such as walkability (to reduce ...

On Hodges and Lehmann's "$6/\pi$ result" [PDF]
While the asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of Wilcoxon rank-based tests for location and regression with respect to their parametric Student competitors can be arbitrarily large, Hodges and Lehmann (1961) have shown that the ARE of the same Wilcoxon ...

Pitman Efficiency Lower Bounds for Multivariate Distribution-Free Tests Based on Optimal Transport
Distribution-free tests such as the Wilcoxon rank sum test are popular for testing the equality of two univariate distributions. Among the important reasons for their popularity are the striking results of Hodges-Lehmann (1956) and Chernoff-Savage (1958), where the authors show that the asymptotic (Pitman) relative efficiency of Wilcoxon's test with ...

Estimating rainfall and water balance over the Okavango River Basin for hydrological applications [PDF]
A historical database for use in rainfall-runoff modeling of the Okavango River Basin in Southwest Africa is presented. The work has relevance for similar data-sparse regions.

Moderate deviations of minimum contrast estimators under contamination [PDF]
Since statistical models are simplifications of reality, it is important in estimation theory to study the behavior of estimators also under distributions (slightly) different from the proposed model.

Beech wood treated with polyglycerol succinate: a new effective method for its protection and stabilization [PDF]
This paper deals with an original and non-biocidal chemical treatment consisting of a vacuum/pressure impregnation step of beech wood with a water-borne mixture made from heat-activated condensation of succinic anhydride (SA) and glycerol (G).

Efficient vs. structured biodiversity inventories: reptiles in a Mexican dry scrubland as a case study [PDF]
Many sampling methods allow the study of species richness and diversity in biological communities, but it is not known whether a single method can determine both the number and diversity of species in an unbiased and efficient way. Here we assess whether

Pitman Efficiencies of Kolmogorov-Smirnov Tests
A comparison, by means of Pitman asymptotic efficiency, is made between the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the locally most powerful rank and the locally asymptotically most powerful (Neyman) test for testing two-sided shifts in the two-sample problem under the assumption that the true distribution is different from the one assumed.
