Modeling And Characterizations Of New Notions In Life Testing With Statistical Applications, Mohammad Sepehrifar
Modeling And Characterizations Of New Notions In Life Testing With Statistical Applications, Mohammad Sepehrifar
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Knowing the class to which a life distribution belongs gives us an idea about the aging of the device or system the life distribution represents, and enables us to compare the aging properties of different systems. This research intends to establish several new nonparametric classes of life distributions defined by the concept of inactivity time of a unit with a guaranteed minimum life length. These classes play an important role in the study of reliability theory, survival analysis, maintenance policies, economics, actuarial sciences and many other applied areas.

Some Nonparametric And Semiparametric Methods For Discriminant Analysis., Anil Kumar Ghosh Dr.
Some Nonparametric And Semiparametric Methods For Discriminant Analysis., Anil Kumar Ghosh Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Discriminant analysis (see e.g., Devijver and Kittler, 1982; Duda, Hart and Stork, 2000; Hastle, Tibahirani and Friedman, 2001) deals with the separation of different groups of obaervationa and allocation of a new oboervation to one of the previously delined grouga. In a J-class discriminant analysis problem, we usually hae a training sample of the form {(xk, ck) : k = 1,2,...,N}, where xk = (Ik1,Ik2,...J) is a d-dimensional measarement vector, and ca € {1,2,...,J} is its class label. On the basis of thia training sample, one aims to form a decision rule d(x) : Rd + (1,2,...,J} for clasifying the …
The Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey - Ii. Clustering Of Bright Lyman Break Galaxies: Strong Luminosity-Dependent Bias At Z = 4, Paul D. Allen, Leonidas A. Moustakas, Gavin Dalton, Emily Macdonald, Chris Blake, Lee Clewley, Catherine Heymans, Gary Wegner
The Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey - Ii. Clustering Of Bright Lyman Break Galaxies: Strong Luminosity-Dependent Bias At Z = 4, Paul D. Allen, Leonidas A. Moustakas, Gavin Dalton, Emily Macdonald, Chris Blake, Lee Clewley, Catherine Heymans, Gary Wegner
Dartmouth Scholarship
We present measurements of the clustering properties of bright (L > L*) z~4 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) selected from the Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey (ODT). We describe techniques used to select and evaluate our candidates and calculate the angular correlation function, which we find best fitted by a power law, ω(θ) =Awθ−β with Aw= 15.4 (with θ in arcsec), using a constrained slope of β= 0.8. Using a redshift distribution consistent with photometric models, we deproject this correlation function and find a comoving Mpc in a Ωm= 0.3 flat λ cosmology for iAB≤ 24.5. This corresponds to a linear bias value …

Some Contributions To Semidefine Linear Complementary Problem., D. Sampangi Raman Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This thesis is composed of chapters 1 to 5. In Chapter 1, we formally define SDLCP and give some examples of SDLCP and show that SDLCP is a special case of variational inequality problem. Also we show that LCP is indeed a special case of SDLCP. Later section of this chapter deals with definitions and notations.In Chapter 2, we are concerned with the results which have been obtained in an effort to generalize the P-matrix condition of LCP to SDLCP. It is known that a matrix M is a P-matrix if and only if M does not re verse the …
Essays On Dynamic Disequilibrium Models., Arpita Dhar Dr.
Essays On Dynamic Disequilibrium Models., Arpita Dhar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The present dissertation is devoted to the analysis of some problems of economic growth in the framework of what has been called Disequilibrium model.Studies on economic growth have been mostly confined, with few exceptions, to the analysis of equilibrium models. But in reality there are cases where the concept of equilibrium may not be relevant and hence a disequilibrium approach is needed. The present thesis is concerned with analysing some theoretical and empirical aspects of the problem of economic growth in a disequilibrium framework. At the theoretical level, the objective has been to re-examine the conclusions of some existing equilibrium …

Dartmouth Scholarship
We have used the EFAR sample of galaxies to investigate the light distributions of early-type galaxies. We decompose the two-dimensional light distribution of the galaxies in a flattened spheroidal component with a Sérsic radial light profile and an inclined disc component with an exponential light profile. We show that if we assume that all galaxies can have a spheroidal and a disc component, then the brightest, bulge-dominated elliptical galaxies have a fairly broad distribution in the Sérsic profile shape parameter nB, with a median of approximately 3.7 and with σ∼ 0.9. Other galaxies have smaller nB values. …

Contributions To Emerging Techniques In Survey Sampling., Sanghamitra Pal Dr.
Doctoral Theses
This dissertation contains seven Chapters. The contents in the respective Chapters may be briefly recounted as follows.A topic of classical interest in survey sampling is how to ensure the existence of a uniformly non-negative (UNN) unbiased estimator for the mean square error (MSE) of a homogeneous linear estimator (HLE) for a finite survey population total. Hájek (1958), Vijayan (1975), Rao and Vijayan (1977) and Rao (1979) developed a number of results which boil down to the folowing as narrated in the monograph by Chaudhuri and Stenger (1992).If there exist non-zero constants w, and the unknown values y, of the variable …

Statistical Study Of Solar Radio Bursts, Gelu-Marius Nita
Dissertations
The peak flux distribution of 40 years of solar radio burst data recorded by NOAA, as a function of frequency and time over a wide range of frequencies, was investigated to quantify the potential impact of radio bursts on wireless systems. Tables of fit parameters, which can be used to find burst occurrence rates in a number of frequency ranges, are presented. The typical power-law index of number density distribution, -1.8, is similar to that found in many hard X-ray studies. Significant changes were found in power-law index with frequency. The results may be useful for designers of current and …

Some Issues On Time Varying Risk Premium In Arch-M Model., Samarjit Das Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Since the 1970's it has been observed in many economies that financial and macroeconomic variables like equity prices, treasury bill rates and exchange rates have become more and more volatile in nature. This may be due tumor flexible monetary policies pursued in these countries as well as due to their increasing exposure towards various international developments. Accordingly, economic agents are facing increasingly more and more risky environment. Re- searchers as well as professional economists in the area of capital and business finance have, therefore, been increasingly attracted in recent years towards studying the effect of risk and uncertainty on asset …

Agricultural producers and consumers are asking for more information. Scientists need new tools to evaluate variation. They need help with sampling - numbers of …
Size And Power Considerations For Testing Loglinear Models Using Divergence Test Statistics, Noel A. Cressie, L Pardo, M Del Carmen Pardo
Size And Power Considerations For Testing Loglinear Models Using Divergence Test Statistics, Noel A. Cressie, L Pardo, M Del Carmen Pardo
Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)
In this article, we assume that categorical data are distributed according to a multinomial distribution whose probabilities follow a loglinear model. The inference problem we consider is that of hypothesis testing in a loglinear-model setting. The null hypothesis is a composite hypothesis nested within the alternative. Test statistics are chosen from the general class of divergence statistics. This article collects together the operating characteristics of the hypothesis test based on both asymptotic (using large-sample theory) and finite-sample (using a designed simulation study) results. Members of the class of power divergence statistics are compared, and it is found that the Cressie-Read …
Spatial Statistics In The Presence Of Location Error With An Application To Remote Sensing Of The Environment, Noel A. Cressie, John Kornak
Spatial Statistics In The Presence Of Location Error With An Application To Remote Sensing Of The Environment, Noel A. Cressie, John Kornak
Faculty of Informatics - Papers (Archive)
Techniques for the analysis of spatial data have, to date, tended to ignore any effect caused by error in specifying the spatial locations at which measurements are recorded. This paper reviews the methods for adjusting spatial inference in the presence of data-location error, particularly for data that. have a continuous spatial index (geostatistical data). New kriging equations are developed and evaluated based on a simulation experiment. They are also applied to remote-sensing data from the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer instrument on the Nimbus-7 satellite, where the location error is caused by assignment of the data to their nearest grid-cell centers. …
Gauss' Method Of Least Squares: An Historically-Based Introduction, Belinda B. Brand
Gauss' Method Of Least Squares: An Historically-Based Introduction, Belinda B. Brand
LSU Master's Theses
This work presents Gauss' justification of the method of least squares, following the treatment given by Gauss himself in "Theoria Combinationis Observationum Erroribus Minimis Obnoxiae," where the main idea is to show that the least squares estimate is the unbiased linear estimate of minimum variance. (Actually, we present Gauss' argument both in his terminology and translated into matrix terminology.) We show how this contrasts with Gauss' earlier justfication in "Theoria Motus Corporum Coelestium" which was based on the assumption of a normal distribution of errors, and yielded the estimate of maximum likelihood. We present as a background the development from …
A Simulation Study Of The Impact Of Forecast Recovery For Control Charts Applied To Arma Processes, John N. Dyer, B. Michael Adams, Michael D. Conerly
A Simulation Study Of The Impact Of Forecast Recovery For Control Charts Applied To Arma Processes, John N. Dyer, B. Michael Adams, Michael D. Conerly
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Forecast-based schemes are often used to monitor autocorrelated processes, but the resulting forecast recovery has a significant effect on the performance of control charts. This article describes forecast recovery for autocorrelated processes, and the resulting simulation study is used to explain the performance of control charts applied to forecast errors.

Slippage And Change Point Problem With Directional Data., Arnab Kumar Laha Dr.
Slippage And Change Point Problem With Directional Data., Arnab Kumar Laha Dr.
Doctoral Theses
In this thesis we develop statistical methods for dealing with two problems namely (1) THE SLIPPAGE PROBLEM and (2) THE CHANGE POINT PROB- LEM in the set-up of directional data. In this chapter, we provide an intro- duction to these problems and discuss the importance of the present work. The slippage problem is basically a problem to detect whether any unspecified observation in a given random sample comes from a distribution different from that for all the other remaining observations. This can also be viewed as a problem of outlier detection or that of spuriosity. This problem assumes great importance …
