On Some Optimal Tests In Finite Mixtures: Constructions And Applications., Chandranath Pal Dr. Nov 2001

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 …


Statistical Properties Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates For Accelerated Lifetime Data Under The Weibull Model, Mahmoud A. Yousef Apr 2001

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 …


Stochastic Comparision And Dependence Among Order Statistics,Spacing And Concomitants Of Order Statistics., Baha-Eldin Khaledi Dr. Mar 2001

Stochastic Comparision And Dependence Among Order Statistics,Spacing And Concomitants Of Order Statistics., Baha-Eldin Khaledi Dr.

Doctoral Theses

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 …
