Exploring Confidence Intervals In The Case Of Binomial And Hypergeometric Distributions, Irene Mojica
Exploring Confidence Intervals In The Case Of Binomial And Hypergeometric Distributions, Irene Mojica
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this thesis is to examine one of the most fundamental and yet important methodologies used in statistical practice, interval estimation of the probability of success in a binomial distribution. The textbook confidence interval for this problem is known as the Wald interval as it comes from the Wald large sample test for the binomial case. It is generally acknowledged that the actual coverage probability of the standard interval is poor for values of p near 0 or 1. Moreover, recently it has been documented that the coverage properties of the standard interval can be inconsistent even if …

Multiattribute Acceptance Sampling Plans., Anup Majumdar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Irrespective of the type of product, evaluation of conformity to specified requirements of its quality characteristics is an integral part of quality assurance. Although they form a set of necessary verification activities almost at all stages of production, these activities, known as inspection do not add value to the product on their own and are to be kept at their minimum. The sampling inspection where a portion of a collection of product units is inspected on a set of characteristics with a view to making decision about acceptance or otherwise becomes relevant in this context.The number of elements of the …
Statistical Inference For The Risk Ratio In 2x2 Binomial Trials With Stuctural Zero, Suzhong Tian
Statistical Inference For The Risk Ratio In 2x2 Binomial Trials With Stuctural Zero, Suzhong Tian
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In some statistical analyses, researchers may encounter the problem of analyzing correlated 2x2 table with a structural zero in one of the off diagonal cells. Structural zeros arise in situation where it is theoretically impossible for a particular cell to be observed. For instance, Agresti (1990) provided an example involving a sample of 156 calves born in Okeechobee County, Florida. Calves are first classified according to whether they get a pneumonia infection within certain time. They are then classified again according to whether they get a secondary infection within a period after the first infection clears up. Because subjects cannot, …
Review Of Reliability Techniques, Eugene Richard Doherty
Review Of Reliability Techniques, Eugene Richard Doherty
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In the development of any product to perform a specific function the first concern of the engineer is to design for satisfactory operation. Engineers originally approached the reliability problem by using excessive safety factors to be assured the structure or material would withstand the calculated loads and stresses. The engineer also learned from operating or testing the equipment until failures occurred and then redesigning as mistakes became apparent. These methods were time consuming and often resulted in bulky over designed products. These approaches became impractical with the advent of new technological advancements. The accelerated industrial development of aircraft, missiles, and …
