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 …

Some Contribution To Reliability Analysis Of A Consecutive-K-Out-Of N: F System., Mohammad Khanjari Sadegh Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Present day technology has been characterized by development of complex systems or equipments containing a large number of subaystems and com- ponents. Reliability, as a buman attribute, has been praised for a very long time. For technical systems, however, the reliability concept has not been applied for more than about 50 years. Reliability is the concern of all scien- tists and engineers engaged in developing a system, from design, through the manufacturing, to its ultimate use. Reliability technology has a potentially wide range of application areas like safety or risk analysis, environmental protection, quality, optimization, maintenance, engineering design, etc.For a …

The following problem about a tennis match is well—known. See Halmos [1, 2]. Consider 2n tennis players playing a single elimination match. Ask the question: what are the number of games played? The answer can be obtained in two ways. First using the geometric progression 2n-1 + 2n-2 + • • • -2+1 we find that the answer is 2n — 1. We can also explain the answer as follows: for each game played there is a loser. Thus the total number of games played is equal to the number of losers. Since there is only one winner the total …

Pattern Classification Using Genetic Algorithms., Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Pattern recognition and machine learning form a major area of research and develop- ment activity that encompasses the processing of pictorial and other non-numerical information obtained from the interaction between science, technology and society. A motivation for the spurt of activity in this field is the need for people to com- municate with the computing machines in their natural mode of communication. Another important motivation is that the scientists are also concerned with the idea of designing and making intelligent machines that can carry out certain tasks that we human beings do. The most salient outcome of these is the …

Some Problems In Estimating Finite Population Total And Variance In Survey Sampling., Saswati Bhattacharya Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The problem of drawing inference concerning the parameters of a finite population of identifiable units has been increasingly engaging the attention of statisticians. The central problem here is to devise a suitable method of selecting a sample from the population and to employ an appropriate estimator to estimate the finite population total or mean. A consider- able progress in this field of study has been made and many authors have contributed towards the development of the theory in this aspect of the problem of statistical inferenceNumerous papers have been written covering the first aspect of the problem, namely, method of …

Some Problems Of Continuum Percolation., Anish Sarkar Dr.
Doctoral Theses
The model of continuum percolation can be described as follows. We start with a homogeneous Poisson point process X. At each point of X we centre a ball with a random radius such that the radii corresponding to different points are independent of each other and also independent of the Poisson process X. In this way, the space is divided into two regiorns, the covered region or the occupied region consisting of the region which is covered by at least one ball, and the uncovered region or the vacant region which is complement of the covered region. In this dissertation …

Neuro-Fuzzy Models For Classification And Rule Generation., Sushmita Mitra Dr.
Doctoral Theses
Machine recognition [1, 2] of patterns can be viewed as a two-fold task, consisting of learning the invariant and common properties of a set of samples characterizing a class, and of deciding a new sample as a possible member of the class by noting that it has properties common to those of the set of samples. In other words, pattern recognition by computers can be described as a transformation from the measurenment space M to the feature space F and finally to the decision space D (1), i.e., M ⟶F⟶D.Here, the mapping 6 : F⟶D is the decision function and …

We advance a model of human probability judgment and apply it to the design of an extrapolation algorithm. Such an algorithm examines a person's judgment about the likelihood of various statements and is then able to predict the same person's judgments about new statements. The algorithm is tested against judgments produced by thirty undergraduates asked to assign probabilities to statements about mammals.

Notions Of Relative Ubiquity For Invariant Sets Of Relational Structures, Paul Bankston, Wim Ruitenburg
Notions Of Relative Ubiquity For Invariant Sets Of Relational Structures, Paul Bankston, Wim Ruitenburg
Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Faculty Research and Publications
Given a finite lexicon L of relational symbols and equality, one may view the collection of all L-structures on the set of natural numbers w as a space in several different ways. We consider it as: (i) the space of outcomes of certain infinite two-person games; (ii) a compact metric space; and (iii) a probability measure space. For each of these viewpoints, we can give a notion of relative ubiquity, or largeness, for invariant sets of structures on w. For example, in every sense of relative ubiquity considered here, the set of dense linear orderings on w is …

The area of sequential testing of statistical hypothesss is an important part of sequential analysis. The idea of a sequential test goes back to Dodge and Romig (1929) who cons tructed a double sampling procedure for sampling inspection. They wers motivated by the obser- vation that the double sampling plan requires a smaller number of observations on the average when compared uith the corresponding single sampling plan, Later schemes like multiple sampling vide Wlalter Bartky (1943) and interesting practical application of large scale experimente in successive stages vide Mahalanobis (1940) started comni ng up.The formal theory in sequential analysis began …

The advantages sample surveys over complete censuses are well known and seem to be fully appreaciated as is evidenced by the increasing use of sample surveys now a days as a means of collecting information.The use of probability theory to make rigorous inductive inferences has been well recognised for a long time. Such inferences can be made only when observations which form the basis of the infe- rence are generated by some chance mechanism, In traditional applica- tions, the statistician usually assume s or takes for granted some kind of chan ce mechanism behind the o bservations, where as in …
