  • Given a random sample of size N (unknown) with density f(x│$\theta$), suppose that only n observations which lie outside a region r are recorded. On the basis of n observation, the Bayes estimators of $\theta$ and N are considered and their asymptotic expansions are developed to find the third order asymptotic properties with those of the maximum likelihood estimators and the Bayes modal estimators. The asymptotic m.s.e.'s of these estimators are expressed. An example is given to illustrate the results obtained.

  • 지금까지 비율(proportion)에 대한 신뢰구간의 근사적 추정량(approximate estimator)에 대한 여러 기법들이 제안되었으나, 시뮬레이션 결과에 대한 coverage 분석을 수행할 경우에는 정규분포에 기반 한 신뢰구간 추정량이 주로 이용되었다. 그 이유는 정규분포에 대한 근사법이 다른 근사법들 보다 실제 구현하는데 쉽게 여겨졌기 때문이다. 하지만, 최근에 arcsin 변환에 기반한 coverage 분석을 위한 근사법이 [12]에서 시뮬레이션 수행 시에 최종결과에 요구되는 정확도의 조절과 비율을 추정하기 위해서 사용되었다. 본 논문에서는 세 개의 신뢰구간 추정량 근사법(정규분포 기반 근사법, arcsin 변환 기반 근사법, 그리고 F-분포 기반 근사법)을 비교 분석하였다. 세 신뢰구간에 대한 추정량을 단일 프로세서와 다중 프로세서 상에서 참조모델(reference model)로 M/M/1/$\infty$와 W/D/l/$\infty$ 큐잉 시스템을 활용하여 정상상태(steady-state)에서의 평균치를 추정하는 시뮬레이션에 적용하였다.

  • 회귀모형의 대표적인 추정법인 최소제곱법은 오차항의 분포가 정규분포를 따르고 이상치가 없는 상황에서는 최적이지만, 자료가 회귀모형의 가정을 만족하지 않을 경우 또는 이상치를 포함하는 경우와 같이 자료가 오염된 상황에서는 왜곡된 추정 결과를 준다. 따라서 이상치에 민감한 최소제곱법의 단점을 보완하기 위해 다양한 로버스트 추정방법이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는 MLE를 기반으로 제안된 M 추정량, 순서형 통계량을 기반으로 제안된 L 추정량, 잔차의 순위를 기반으로 제안된 R 추정량 계열에서 높은 붕괴점 또는 높은 효율을 갖는 대표적인 추정량들을 다양한 모의실험을 통해 비교 연구하였다. 추정량의 성능을 비교하는데 효율성 뿐만 아니라 편의, 분산을 포함한 분포를 살펴보았다. 그 결과 실제 데이터 적용에는 MM 추정량과 GR 추정량이 좋은 성능을 가진 것으로 보였다.

  • The shrinkage preliminary test ridge regression estimators (SPTRRE) based on Wald (W), Likelihood Ratio (LR) and Lagrangian Multiplier (LM) tests for estimating the regression parameters of the multiple linear regression model with multivariate Student's t error distribution are considered in this paper. The quadratic biases and risks of the proposed estimators are compared under both null and alternative hypotheses. It is observed that there is conflict among the three estimators with respect to their risks because of certain inequalities that exist among the test statistics. In the neighborhood of the restriction, the SPTRRE based on LM test has the smallest risk followed by the estimators based on LR and W tests. However, the SPTRRE based on W test performs the best followed by the LR and LM based estimators when the parameters move away from the subspace of the restrictions. Some tables for the maximum and minimum guaranteed efficiency of the proposed estimators have been given, which allow us to determine the optimum level of significance corresponding to the optimum estimator among proposed estimators. It is evident that in the choice of the smallest significance level to yield the best estimator the SPTRRE based on Wald test dominates the other two estimators.

  • Exponential distribution plays a key role in engineering reliability and its applications. The exponential failure model has been studied for years. This article introduces two new preliminary test estimators for the reliability function (R(t)) in complete and censored samples from the exponential model with the use of a prior estimation (${\theta}_0$) of the mean (${\theta}$). The proposed preliminary test estimators are studied and compared numerically with the existing estimators. Computer-intensive calculations for bias and relative efficiency show that for, different values of levels of significance and for varying constants involved in the proposed estimators, the proposed estimators are far better than classical and existing estimators.

  • The least informative (favorable) distributions, minimizing Fisher information for a multivariate location parameter, are derived in the parametric class of the exponential-power spherically symmetric distributions under the following characterizing restrictions; (i) a bounded variance, (ii) a bounded value of a density at the center of symmetry, and (iii) the intersection of these restrictions. In the first two cases, (i) and (ii) respectively, the least informative distributions are the Gaussian and Laplace, respectively. In the latter case (iii) the optimal solution has three branches, with relatively small variances it is the Gaussian, them with intermediate variances. The corresponding robust minimax M-estimators of location are given by the $L_2$-norm, the $L_1$-norm and the $L_{p}$ -norm methods. The properties of the proposed estimators and their adaptive versions ar studied in asymptotics and on finite samples by Monte Carlo.

  • A new redescending M-estimating function is introduced. The estimators by this new redescending function attain the same level of robustness as the existing redescending M-estimators, but have less asymptotic variances than others except few cases. We have focused on estimating a location parameter, but the method can be extended for a scale estimation.

  • The simplicity and wide application of Greenberg et al. (1971) prompts to propose a set of alternative estimators of population total for multi-character surveys that elicit simultaneous information on many. sensitive study variables. The proposed estimators take into account the already known rough value of the correlation coefficient between Y(the characteristic under study) and p(the measure of size). These estimators are biased, but it is expected that the extent of bias will be smaller, since the proposed estimators are suitable for situations in between those optimum for the usual estimators and the estimators based on multi-characters for no correlation. The relative efficiency of the proposed estimators has been studied under a super population model through empirical study. It has been found through simulation study that a choice of an unrelated variable in the Greenberg et al. (1971) model could be made based on its correlation with the auxiliary variable used at estimation stage in multi-character surveys.

  • The Bayes estimators of the parameters included in the complementary Weibull reliability model are obtained. In the process of deriving Bayes estimators, the scale and shape parameters of the complementary Weibull distribution are considered to be independent random variables having prior exponential distributions. The maximum likelihood estimators of the desired parameters are derived. Further, the least square estimators are obtained in closed forms. Simulation study is made using Monte Carlo method to make a comparison among the obtained estimators. The comparison is made by computing the root mean squared errors associated to each point estimation. Based on the numerical study, the Bayes procedure seems better than the maximum likelihood and least square procedures in the sense of having smaller root mean squared errors.
