Weak Change Detection: A Review

open access: yesMathematics
This article provides a selective review of offline change-point detection methods, with a particular emphasis on weak change-points. The study of such weak changes plays a central role in establishing the asymptotic properties of test statistics ...

One statistical test is sufficient for assessing new predictive markers

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2011
Background We have observed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is increasingly being used to evaluate whether a novel predictor should be incorporated in a multivariable model to predict risk of disease.

Backtesting expectile: Disentangling unconditional coverage and independence properties

open access: yesRisk Sciences
Under current regulations, financial institutions are required to estimate the daily Value-at-Risk (VaR) or Expected Shortfall (ES) of their trading positions. Despite being widely studied and adopted, both risk measures have theoretical limitations: VaR

Complex Parameter Rao and Wald Tests for Assessing the Bandedness of a Complex-Valued Covariance Matrix

open access: yesSignals
Banding the inverse of a covariance matrix has become a popular technique for estimating a covariance matrix from a limited number of samples. It is of interest to provide criteria to determine if a matrix is bandable, as well as to test the bandedness ...

Adaptive Detection of Range-distributed Targets in Weighted Generalized Inverse Gaussian Clutter

open access: yesLeida xuebao
In this paper, we investigate the adaptive detection of range-distributed targets in compound-Gaussian clutter, where the texture component follows a Weighted Generalized Inverse Gaussian (WGIG) distribution.

Generalised Wald Type Test of Nonlinear Restrictions

open access: yesOALib, 2005
Abstract This paper proposes a generalised Wald type tests to test the hypothesis of nonlinear restrictions. We circumvent the problem of singularity of the covariance matrix associated with the usual Wald test by proposing a generalised inverse procedure, and an alternative simple procedure which can be approximated by a suitable chi-square ...

Asymptotic Properties of the Wald-Wolfowitz Test of Randomness

open access: yesThe Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1950
The paper investigates certain asymptotic properties of the test of randomness based on the statistic $R_h = \sum^n_{i=1} x_ix_{i+h}$ proposed by Wald and Wolfowitz. It is shown that the conditions given in the original paper for asymptotic normality of $R_h$ when the null hypothesis of randomness is true can be weakened considerably.

Evaluation of Statistical Methods for Clustered Eye Data with Skewed Distribution

open access: yesOphthalmology Science
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of various analysis approaches for skewed correlated eye data from 2 eyes of a subject in the same comparison group, which is common in ophthalmology and vision research.
