Testing for normality has always been a center of practical and theoretical interest in statistical research. In this paper a test statistic for bivariate normality is proposed. The underlying idea is to investigate all the possible linear combinations that reduce to the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis and compare the order statistics of them with the theoretical normal quantiles. The suggested statistic is invariant with respect to nonsingular matrix multiplication and vector addition. We show that the limit distribution of an approximation to the suggested statistic is represented as the supremum over an index set of the integral of a suitable Gaussian Process. We also simulate the null distribution of the statistic and give some critical values of the distribution and power results.

Large sample properties of Life-Table estimator are discussed for interval censored bivariate survival data. We restrict out attention to the situation where response times within pairs are not distinguishable and the univariate survival distribution is the same for any individual within any pair.

In this paper, we consider two components system having Marshall-Olkin's bivariate exponential model. For the bivariate random censorship, we obtain maximum likelihood estimators of parameters and system reliability. And we propose the methods of homogeniety and independence tests using asymptotic normality. Also we compute the estimators and p-values of the testings through Monte Carlo simulation.

If normality of an observed data is not a viable assumption, we can carry out normal-theory analyses by suitable transforming data. Power transformation by Box and Cox, one of the transformation methods, is derived the power which maximized the likelihood function. But it doesn't induces the closed form in mathematical analysis. In this paper, we compose some R the syntax of which is easier than other statistical packages for deriving the power with using numerical methods. Also, by using R, we show the transformed data approximately distributed the normal through Q-Q plot in univariate and bivariate cases with some examples. Finally, we present the value of a goodness-of-fit statistic(AD) and its p-value for normal distribution. In the similar procedure, this method can be extended to more than bivariate case.

Accelerated life testing of product is commonly used to reduced test time and costs. In this papers is considered when the product is a two component system with lifetimes following the bivariate exponential distribution of Sarkar(1987) using inverse power rule model. Also we derived the maximum likelihood estimators of parameters for asymptotic normality. We compare the mean square error of the proposed estimator for the life distribution under use conditions stree through Monte Carlo simulation.

In this paper, we generalizes Kim and Bickel(2003)'s statistic for bivariate normality to that of multinormality, applying Fattorini(1986)'s method. Fattorini(1986) generalized Shapiro-Wilk's statistic for univariate normality to multivariate cases. The proposed statistic could be considered as an approximate statistic to Fattorini(1986)'s. It can be used even for a big sample size. Power performance of the proposed test is assessed in a Monte Carlo study.

상수원이 오염되고 사람들이 수돗물 수질을 불신함에 따라 이에 대한 회피 행동(averting behavior)으로서 생수소비가 급증하고 있다. 본 논문은 모수적(parametric) 모형과 반모수적(semi-parametric) 모형을 운용하여 생수소비 행태를 설명하는 이변량모형(bivariate model)을 분석하고자 한다. 주된 분석목적은 모수적 모형과 관련된 암묵적인 제약이 반모수적 모형을 통해 완화될 수 있음을 보이는 것이다. 모수적 모형에서 가정되는 이변량 정규성(normality)의 가정에 대한 검정결과, 이 가정은 통계적으로 유의하게 기각되었으며 모수적 모형 대반모수적 모형에 대한 정형검정 결과도 모수적 모형을 유의하게 기각하였다. 또한 반모수적 모형이 모수적 모형보다 생수소비행태에 대한 설명력이 더 높았다. 따라서, 반모수적 모형이 모수적 모형에서 요구되는 제약적인 가정을 하지 않으면서도 자료와 보다 잘 부합하는 결과를 가져올 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

In this paper, we obtain maximum likelihood estimators for $P(X_{1}\;<\;X_{2})$ in the Marshall and Olkin's bivariate exponential model with bivariate censored data. The asymptotic normality of the estimator is derived. Also we propose approximate testing for $P(X_{1}\;<\;X_{2})$ based on the M.L.E. We compare the test powers under vsrious conditions through Monte Carlo simulation.

Higher sigma quality level is generally perceived by customers as improved performance by assigning a correspondingly higher satisfaction score. The process capability indices and the sigma level $Z_{st}$ ave been widely used in six sigma industries to assess process performance. Most evaluations on process capability indices focus on statistical estimation under normal process which may result in unreliable assessments of process performance. In this paper, we consider statistical estimation for bivariate VPCI(Vector-valued Process Capability Index) $C_{pkl}=(C_{pklx},\;C_{pklx})$ under Marshall and Olkin (1967)'s bivariate exponential process. First, we derive some limiting distribution for statistical inference of bivariate VPCI $C_{pkl}$. And we propose two asymptotic normal confidence regions for bivariate VPCI $C_{pkl}$. The proposed method may be very useful under bivariate exponential process. A numerical result based on our proposed method shows to be more reliable.

In a parametric sample selection model, the distribution assumption is critical to obtain consistent estimates. Conventionally, the normality assumption has been adopted for both error terms in selection and main equations of the model. The normality assumption, however, may excessively restrict the true underlying distribution of the model. This study introduces the $S_U$-normal distribution into the error distribution of a sample selection model. The $S_U$-normal distribution can accommodate a wide range of skewness and kurtosis compared to the normal distribution. It also includes the normal distribution as a limiting distribution. Moreover, the $S_U$-normal distribution can be easily extended to multivariate dimensions. We provide the log-likelihood function and expected value formula based on a bivariate $S_U$-normal distribution in a sample selection model. The results of simulations indicate the $S_U$-normal model outperforms the normal model for the consistency of estimators. As an empirical application, we provide the sample selection model for car ownership and a car expense relationship.
