Modeling financial phenomena with diffusion processes is a commonly used methodology in the area of modern finance. Recently, various types of diffusion models have been suggested to explain the specific financial processes, and their related inference methodology have been also developed. In particular, likelihood methods for the efficient and accurate inference have been explored in various ways. In this paper, we review the mathematical properties of an approximated likelihood method, which is obtained by linearizing the drift coefficient of a diffusion process.

일반화 감마분포(generalized gamma distribution)에서 지표모수(index parameter)에 대한 추론은 생존시간(lifetime)과 관련한 모형의 선택문제에서 매우 중요하다. 이에 대한 정확한(exact) 추론법은 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 점근적(asymptotic) 검정법으로 소표본에서도 우도비 검정에 비해 효율이 뛰어난 Bartlett 검정을 제안하고, 이의 요율적 수행을 위한 대체 모형으로 부터의 누율계산(cumulant computation) 법을 제시하였다. 또한 실제자료에 대해 본 논문에서 제시한 누율계산과정을 이용하여 Bartlett 검정을 실시한 결과 기존의 우도비 검정과는 상당히 큰 차이가 남을 확인하였다. 따라서 모형의 선택 등의 문제에서 제안된 방법은 소표본의 경우에 더욱 효율적이라 할 수 있다.

We consider the step stress life testing which has been developed in order to perform the life testing of the units whose normal life time is long within a reasonable amount of time. The models suggested for statistical analysis of the data obtained form the stress life testing are reviewed and a model which contains these models in some respect is suggested. The statistical inference based on the suggested model is done using maximum likelihood and weighted least square estimates. Finally we review the design of the simple step stress life testing and extend the result to the censoring case.
