  • Dwivedi, Srivastava and Hall(1980) derived the first and second moments of generalized ridge estimators. In this paper we consider the $m^{th}$ moment of a generalized ridge estimator and tabulate tis skewness measure.

  • We propose a robust regression estimator which has both a high breakdown point and a bounded influence function. The main contribution of this article is to present a weight function in the generalized M (GM)-estimator. The weighting schemes which control leverage points only without considering residuals cannot be efficient, since control leverage points only without considering residuals cannot be efficient, since these schemes inevitably downweight some good leverage points. In this paper we propose a weight function which depends both on design points and residuals, so as not to downweight good leverage points. Some motivating illustrations are also given.

  • Parameters and quantiles of the 2-parameter generalized Pareto distribution were estimated using the methods of regular moments, modified moments, probability weighted moments, linear moments, maximum likelihood, and entropy for Monte Carlo-generated samples. The performance of these seven estimators was statistically compared, with the objective of identifying the most robust estimator. It was found that in general the methods of probability-weighted moments and L-moments performed better than the methods of maximum likelihood estimation, moments and entropy, especially for smaller values of the coefficient of variation and probability of exceedance.

  • The minimum disparity estimators introduced by Lindsay and Basu (1994) are studied empirically. An extensive simulation in this paper provides a location estimate of the small sample and supplies empirical evidence of the estimator performance for the univariate contaminated normal model. Empirical results show that the minimum generalized negative exponential disparity estimator (MGNEDE) obtains high efficiency for small sample sizes and dominates the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and the minimum blended weight Hellinger distance estimator (MBWHDE) with respect to efficiency at the contaminated model.

  • Rotation design is a sampling technique to reduce response burden and to estimate the population characteristics varying in time. Park and Kim(1999) discussed a generation of one-level rotation design which is called as {{{{r_1^m ~-r_2^m-1}}}} design has more applicable form than existing before. In the structure of {{{{r_1^m ~-r_2^m-1}}}} design, we derive the exact variances of generalized composite estimators for level, change and aggregate level characteristics of interest, and optimal coefficients minimizing their variances. Finally numerical examples are shown by the efficiency of alternative designs relative to widely used 4-8-4 rotation design. This is continuous work of Part Ⅰ studied by Park and Kim(1999).

  • This article deals with the method of ML among the methods of estimating m gene frequenecies in the Generalized ABO-like Blood Group Systems and with the statistical testing about the differencies of gene frequencies by using these estimators. Especially, the generalization about the Homogeneity testing problem is tried and thus it enables us to test of Homogeneity of m gene frequencies. Finally, in the example, ML estimator is compared with other estimators suggested by Bernstein method, by adjusted Bernstein method and by modified Bernstein method, and statistical testing in the above is carried out by using orthogonal partitioning.

  • Procrustes analysis is a useful technique useful to measure, compare shape differences and estimate a mean shape for objects; however it is based on a least squares criterion and is affected by some outliers. Therefore, we propose two generalized Procrustes analysis methods based on M-estimation and least median of squares estimation that are resistant to object outliers. In addition, two algorithms are given for practical implementation. A simulation study and some examples are used to examine and compared the performances of the algorithms with the least square method. Moreover since these resistant GPA methods are available for higher dimensions, we need some methods to visualize the objects and mean shape effectively. Also since we have concentrated on resistant fitting methods without considering shape distributions, we wish to shape analysis not be sensitive to particular model.

  • This paper presents a generalized truncated least, squares adaptive algorithm and a two-stage design method. The proposed algorithm is directly derived from the normal equation of the generalized truncated least squares method (GTLSM). The special case of the GTLSM, the truncated least squares (TLS) adaptive algorithm, has a distinct features which includes the case of minimum steps estimator. This algorithm seemed to be best in the deterministic case. For real applications in the presence of disturbances, the GTLS adaptive algorithm is more effective. The two-stage design method proposed here combines the adaptive control system design with a conventional control design method and each can be treated independently. Using this method, the validity of the presented algorithms are examined by the simulation studies of an indirect adaptive control.

  • Kriging is a nonparametric regression method used in geostatistics for estimating curves and surfaces for spatial data. It may come as a surprise that the Kriging estimator, normally derived as the best linear unbiased estimator, is also the solution of a particular variational problem. Thus, Kriging estimators can also be interpreted as generalized smoothing splines where the roughness penalty is determined by the covariance function of a spatial process. We build off the early work by Silverman (1982, 1984) and the analysis by Cox (1983, 1984), Messer (1991), Messer and Goldstein (1993) and others and develop an equivalent kernel interpretation of geostatistical estimators. Given this connection we show how a given covariance function influences the bias and variance of the Kriging estimate as well as the mean squared prediction error. Some specific asymptotic results are given in one dimension for Matern covariances that have as their limit cubic smoothing splines.
