Decompositions Of Signed-Graphic Matroids, Dan Slilaty, Hongxun Qin Aug 2007

Decompositions Of Signed-Graphic Matroids, Dan Slilaty, Hongxun Qin

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We give a decomposition theorem for signed graphs whose frame matroids are binary and a decomposition theorem for signed graphs whose frame matroids are quaternary.


Step-Up Simultaneous Tests For Identifying Active Effects In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Samuel S. Wu, Weizhen Wang Feb 2007

Step-Up Simultaneous Tests For Identifying Active Effects In Orthogonal Saturated Designs, Samuel S. Wu, Weizhen Wang

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

A sequence of null hypotheses regarding the number of negligible effects (zero effects) in orthogonal saturated designs is formulated. Two step-up simultaneous testing procedures are proposed to identify active effects (nonzero effects) under the commonly used assumption of effect sparsity. It is shown that each procedure controls the experimentwise error rate at a given alpha level in the strong sense.


On The Direction Of Pitchfork Bifurcation, Xiaojie Hou, Philip Korman, Yi Li Jan 2007

On The Direction Of Pitchfork Bifurcation, Xiaojie Hou, Philip Korman, Yi Li

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

We present an algorithm for computing the direction of pitchfork bifurcation for two-point boundary value problems. The formula is rather involved, but its computational evaluation is quite feasible. As an application, we obtain a multiplicity result.

A Comparison Of Graphical Methods For Assessing The Proportional Hazards Assumptions In The Cox Model, Inger Persson, Harry J. Khamis Jan 2007

A Comparison Of Graphical Methods For Assessing The Proportional Hazards Assumptions In The Cox Model, Inger Persson, Harry J. Khamis

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

Six graphical procedures to check the assumption of proportional hazards for the Cox model are described and compared. A new way of comparing the graphical procedures using a Kolmogorov-Smirnov like maximum deviation criterion for rejection is derived for each procedure. The procedures are evaluated in a simulation study under proportional hazards and five different forms of nonproportional hazards: (1) increasing hazards, (2) decreasing hazards, (3) crossing hazards, (4) diverging hazards, and (5) nonmonotonic hazards. The procedures are compared in the two-sample case corresponding to two groups with different hazard functions. None of the procedures under consideration require partitioning of the …


Projective-Planar Signed Graphs And Tangled Signed Graphs, Dan Slilaty Jan 2007

Projective-Planar Signed Graphs And Tangled Signed Graphs, Dan Slilaty

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

A projective-planar signed graph has no two vertex-disjoint negative circles. We prove that every signed graph with no two vertex-disjoint negative circles and no balancing vertex is obtained by taking a projective-planar signed graph or a copy of −K5" role="presentation" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; line-height: normal; font-size: 16.2px; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; position: relative;">−K5 and then taking 1-, 2-, and 3-sums with balanced signed grap
