Sample entropy (Vasicek, 1976) has poor performance, and several nonparametric entropy estimators have been proposed as alternatives. In this paper, we consider a piecewise uniform density function based on quantiles, which enables us to evaluate entropy in each interval, and study the poor performance of the sample entropy in terms of the poor estimation of lower and upper quantiles. Then we propose some improved entropy estimators by simply modifying the quantile estimators, and compare their performances with some existing estimators.

This paper provides sufficient conditions which ensure the strong consistency of regression quantiles estimators of nonlinear regression models. The main result is supported by the application of an asymptotic property of the least absolute deviation estimators as a special case of the proposed estimators. some example is given to illustrate the application of the main result.

We shall propose several estimators and confidence intervals for the scale parameter in a uniform distribution with the presence of a unidentified outlier and obtain biases and mean squared errors for their proposed estimators. And we shall numerically compare the performances for the proposed several estimators of the sclae parameter. Also, we shall compare lengths of confidence intervals of the scale parameter in a uniform distribution through Monte Carlo methods.

We propose a class of hierarchical Bayes estimators of the error variance under the relative squared error loss in balanced fixed-effects two-way analysis of variance models. Also we provide analytic expressions for the risk improvement of the hierarchical Bayes estimators over multiples of the error sum of squares. Using these expressions we identify a subclass of the hierarchical Bayes estimators each member of which dominates the best multiple of the error sum of squares which is known to be minimax. Numerical values of the percentage risk improvement are given in some special cases.

Sufficient conditions are given under which a generalized class of kernel-type estimators allows asymptotic approximation on the modulus of continuity. This generalized class includes sample distribution function, kernel-type estimator of density function, and an estimator that may apply to the censored case. In addition, an application is given to asymptotic normality of recursive density estimators of density function at an unknown point.

In this paper, we consider the asymptotic properties of regression quantile estimators for the nonlinear regression model when dependent variables are subject to censoring time, and propose the sufficient conditions which ensure consistency and asymptotic normality for regression quantile estimators in censored nonlinear regression model. Also, we drive the asymptotic relative efficiency of the censored regression model with respect to the ordinary regression model.

Computational algorithms to calculate M-estimators and rank estimators of regression parameters from left-truncated and right-censored data are developed herein. In the case of M-estimators, new statistical methods are also introduced to incorporate leverage assements and concomitant scale estimation in the presence of left truncation and right censoring on the observed response. Furthermore, graphical methods to examine the residuals from these data are presented. Two real data sets are used for illustration.

When the available sample is multiply Type-II censored, the maximum likelihood estimators of the location and the scale parameters of two- parameter exponential distribution do not admit explicitly. In this case, we propose some estimators which are linear functions of the order statistics and also propose some estimators by approximating the likelihood equations appropriately. We compare the proposed estimators by the mean squared errors.

This paper is concerned with the strong consistency of the $L_1$-norm estimators for the nonlinear regression models when dependent variables are subject to censoring, and provides the sufficient conditions which ensure the strong consistency of $L_1$-norm estimators of the censored regression models.

This paper deals with a robust subset selection procedure based on Hodges-Lehmann estimators of location parameters. An improved formula for the estimated standard error of Hodges-Lehmann estimators is considered. Also, the degrees of freedom of the studentized Hodges-Lehmann estimators are investigated and it is suggested to use 0.8n instead of n-1. The proposed procedure is compared with the other subset selection procedures and it is shown to have good effciency for heavy-tailed distributions.
