On Some Optimal Tests In Finite Mixtures: Constructions And Applications., Chandranath Pal Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Mixtures of distributions are now-a-days playing very important roles in both theoretical and applied statistics. There is an abundance of real-life situations where mixture distributions are being extensively used for modelling data and drawing inference. Several books and monographs on mixtures have so far been published, e.g., Everitt and Hand (1981), Titterington et al. (1985), McLachlan and Basford (1988), McLachlan (1997) etc., which cover a wide area on different aspects of mixture distributions and their applications. The book by Titterington et al. (1985, pp. 16-21), in particular, contains a comprehensive list of references on direct applications of finite mixtures in …

Hierarchical Modeling For Integrated Environmental Assessments, Raymond O'Connor, Deidre Mageean
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The distribution of biotic resources over large spatial extents is often a function of climate, of land-use, and of the demographics of the human population but these different classes of independent variables have different spatial scales for their action. One approach to the integration of these effects across scales is to use hierarchical models that incorporate contingencies and constraints in effects. This project seeks to develop such a modeling paradigm by use of classification and regression trees (CART). The hexagonal grid of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program is used as the spatial grid, with about …
Statistical Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates For Accelerated Lifetime Data Under The Weibull Model, Mahmoud A. Yousef
Statistical Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates For Accelerated Lifetime Data Under The Weibull Model, Mahmoud A. Yousef
Doctoral Dissertations
Pipe rehabilitation liners are often installed in host pipes that lie below the water table. As such, they are subjected to external hydrostatic pressure. The external pressure leads to early deformation in the liners, which could ultimately lead to its failing or buckling before its expected service lifetime is achieved. Experiments involving long term buckling behavior of liners are typically accelerated lifetime testing procedures. In an accelerated testing procedure a liner is subjected to a constant external hydrostatic pressure and observed until it fails or for a certain time, t whichever occurs first. Liners that do not fail at time …

The simplest and the most common way of comparing two random variables is through their means and variances. It may happen that in some cases the median of X is larger than the median of Y, while the mean of X is smaller than the mean of Y. However, this confusion will not arise if the random variables are stochastically ordered. Similarly, the same may happen if one would like to compare the variability of X with that of Y based only on numerical measures of variability. Besides, these characteristics of distributions might not exist in some cases. In most …
Heckman's Methodology For Correcting Selectivity Bias : An Application To Road Crash Costs, Margaret Giles
Heckman's Methodology For Correcting Selectivity Bias : An Application To Road Crash Costs, Margaret Giles
Research outputs pre 2011
Aggregate road crash costs are traditionally determined using average costs applied to incidence figures found in Police-notified crash data. Such data only comprise a non-random sample of the true population of road crashes, the bias being due to the existence of crashes that are not notified to the Police. The traditional approach is to label the Police-notified sample as 'non-random' thereby casting a cloud over data analyses using this sample. Heckman however viewed similar problems as 'omitted variables' problems in that the exclusion of some observations in a systematic manner (so-called selectivity bias) has inadvertently introduced the need for an …
