The Length-Biased Lognormal Distribution And Its Application In The Analysis Of Data From Oil Field Exploration Studies, Makarand V. Ratnaparkhi, Uttara V. Naik-Nimbalkar
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The length-biased version of the lognormal distribution and related estimation problems are considered and sized-biased data arising in the exploration of oil fields is analyzed. The properties of the estimators are studied using simulations and the use of sample mode as an estimate of the lognormal parameter is discussed.

Empirical Sampling From Permutation Space With Unique Patterns, Justice I. Odiase
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The exact distribution of a test statistic ultimately guarantees that the probability of a Type I error is exactly α. Several methods for estimating the exact distribution of a test statistic have evolved over the years with inherent computational problems and varying degrees of accuracy. The unique pattern of permutations resulting from using experimental data to sample within the permutation space without the risk of repeating permutations is identified. The method presented circumvents the theoretical requirements of asymptotic procedures and the computational difficulties associated with an exhaustive enumeration of permutations. Results show that time and space complexities are drastically reduced …
