  • A simple method is proposed to detect the number of change points with jump discontinuities in nonparamteric regression functions. The proposed estimators are based on a local linear regression fit by the comparison of left and right one-side kernel smoother. Also, the proposed methodology is suggested as the test statistic for detecting of change points and the direction of jump discontinuities.

  • A nonparametric test for testing the parallelism of regression lines against ordered alternatives is proposed. The proposed test statistic is based on a linear combination of robust slope estimators. It is a modified version of the Adichie's test statistics based on scores. A snail-sample Monte Carlo study shows that the proposed test is compatible with the Adichie's test.

  • We, in this paper, propose a nonparametric estimator of bivariate mean residual life function based on Lin and Ying's (1993) bivariate survival function estimator of paired failure times under univariate censoring and prove the uniform consistency and the weak convergence result of this estimator. Through Monte Carlo simulation, the performances of the proposed estimator are tabulated and are illustrated with the skin grafts data.

  • We treat the problem of estimating reliability R = P[Y < X] in the stress-strength model in which a unit of strength X is subfected to enviromental stress Y./ In this paper several nonparametric approaches to estimation of R are analyzed and compared by simulations.

  • Kernel estimator is very popular in nonparametric density estimation. In this paper we propose an estimator which reduces the bias to the fourth power of the bandwidth, while the variance of the estimator increases only by at most moderate constant factor. The estimator is fully nonparametric in the sense of convex combination of three kernel estimators, and has good numerical properties.

  • In this paper we review a bi-aspect nonparametric test for the two-sample problem under the location translation model and propose a new one to accommodate a more broad class of underlying distributions. Then we compare the performance of our proposed test with other existing ones by obtaining empirical powers through a simulation study. Then we discuss some interesting features related to the bi-aspect test with a comment on a possible expansion for the proposed test as concluding remarks.

  • 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.

  • We investigate the unbiasedness and consistency as the statistical properties of density estimators. We show histogram, kernel density estimation, and local adaptive smoothing as density smoothing in this paper. Also, the early and recent research on nonparametric density estimation is described and discussed.

  • Several statistical methods are introduced 1=o analyze the accelerated failure time data. Most frequently used method is the log-linear approach with parametric assumption. Since the accelerated failure time experiments are exposed to many environmental restrictions, parametric log-linear relationship might not be working properly to analyze the resulting data. The models proposed by Buckley and James(1979) and Stute(1993) could be useful in the situation where parametric log-linear method could not be applicable. Those methods are introduced in accelerated experimental situation under the thermal acceleration and discussed through an illustrated example.

  • This paper is concerned with the development of a nonparametric procedure for the statistical inference about the nonlinear regression parameters. A confidence region and a hypothesis testing procedure based on a class of signed linear rank statistics are proposed and the asymptotic distributions of the test statistic both under the null hypothesis and under a sequence of local alternatives are investigated. Some desirable asymptotic properties including the asymptotic relative efficiency are discussed for various score functions.
