This paper is concerned with the asymptotic properties of the least absolute deviation estimators for nonlinear regression models. The simple and practical sufficient conditions for the strong consistency and the asymptotic normality of the least absolute deviation estimators are given. It is confirmed that the extension of these properties to wide class of regression functions can be established by imposing some condition on the input values. A confidence region based on the least absolute deviation estimators is proposed and some desirable asymptotic properties including the asymptotic relative efficiency also discussed for various error distributions. Some examples are given to illustrate the application of main results.

A new three-step quadraparametric family of eighth-order iterative methods free from second derivatives are proposed in this paper to find a simple root of a nonlinear equation. Convergence analysis as well as numerical experiments confirms the eighth-order convergence and asymptotic error constants.

A new test for testing that a life distribution is exponential against the alternative that it is harmonic new better (worse) than used in expectation upper tail HNBUET (HNWUET), but not exponential is presented based on the highly popular 'Kernel methods' of curve fitting. This new procedure is competitive with old one in the sense of Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency, easy to compute and does not depend on the choice of either the band width or kernel. It also enjoys good power.

두 변수간의 함수관계를 연구하는 회귀분석에서 모수를 추정하기 위하여 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 최소자승법이다. 그러나 최소자승법은 표본 평균처럼 약간의 이상치에도 민감하게 반응하여 강인성(robustness)을 만족하지 못함으로 새로운 추정량이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최소분위추정량과 최소분위추정량에 근거한 일차결합추정량의 점근적 성질을 연구하였다. 또한 최소자승추정량에 대해 제시된 추정량의 점근적 효율성을 구하고 모의실험을 통하여 최소분위추정량의 효율성을 조사하였다.

The main objective of this study is to present a new approach to obtain moment inequalities for the new better than renewal used (NBRU) class of life distributions. In order to achieve our main objective, the moment inequalities for NBRU class of life distribution using the new approach has been derived and then a new test for testing exponentiality against NBRU class based on these inequalities has been constructed. Then we calculate the Pitman asymptotic efficiency for the proposed test using some alternative distributions and comparing it with the other tests. Moreover, we make a comparison between Pittman asymptotic efficiencies (PAE's) and PAE's of some other tests. A simulation study is conducted to calculate the upper critical values and the power estimate of the proposed test for some common alternatives. Finally, we apply the suggested test to some real data.

Given a sequence ｛ $X_{n}$｝ of independent and identically distributed random variables with F, a sequential procedure for the p-th quantile ξ$_{P}$= $F^{-1}$ (P), 0$\beta$-protection. Some asymptotic properties for the proposed procedure and of an involved stopping time are proved: asymptotic consistency, asymptotic efficiency and asymptotic normality. From one of the results an effect of smoothing based on kernel functions is discussed. The results are also extended to the contaminated case.e.e.

In this paper we generalize and improve the refined Pickands estimator of Drees (1995) for the extreme value index. The finite-sample performance of the refined Pickands estimator is not good particularly when the sample size n is small. For each fixed k = 1,2,..., a new estimator is defined by a convex combination of k different generalized Pickands estimators and its asymptotic normality is established. Optimal weights defining the estimator are also determined to minimize the asymptotic variance of the estimator. Finally, letting k depend upon n, we see that the resulting estimator has a better finite-sample behavior as well as a better asymptotic efficiency than the refined Pickands estimator.

A new classes of life distribution, namely harmonic used better than aged in expectation in upper tail (HUBAEUT) is introduced. Testing exponentiality against this class is investigated using kernel method. The limiting null and nonnull distribution of the test statistics is normal and the null variance is calculated exactly. Selected critical values are tabulated for sample sizes of 5(1)40. Power of the test are estimated by simulation. the efficacies of the test statistics used for testing against HUBAEUT are calculated for som common alternatives and are compared to some other procedures. It is shown that proposed test is simple, has high relative efficiency and power for some commonly used alternatives. The set of real data are used as an examples to elucidate the use of the proposed test statistics for practical reliability.

In this paper, the problem of testing exponentiality against net decreasing variance residual lifetime (NDVRL) classes of life distributions is investigated. For this property a nonparametric test is presented based on kernel method. The test is presented for complete and right censored data. Furthermore, Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency (PARE) is discussed to assess the performance of the test with respect to other tests. Selected critical values are tabulated. Some numerical simulations on the power estimates are presented for proposed test. Finally, numerical examples are presented for the purpose of illustrating our test.
