  • A diagnostic tool for testing homogeneity for random effects is proposed in unbalanced linear mixed model based on score statistic. The finite sample behavior of the test statistic is examined using Monte Carlo experiments examine the chi-square approximation of the test statistic under the null hypothesis.

  • A test based on score statistic is derived for detecting homoscedasticity of errors in unbalanced random effects linear model. A small simulation study is performed to investigate the finite sample behaviour of the test statistic which is known to have an asymptotic chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis.

  • We propose a nonparametric test procedure for the K-sample problem with grouped data. We construct the test statistics using the scores derived for the linear model based on likelihood ratio principle and obtain asymptotic distribution. Also we illustrate our procedure with an example. Finally we discuss some concluding remarks.

  • We consider a two sample rank test for a bivariate mixture distribution based on Johnson's quantile score. The test statistic is simple to calculate and the exact distribution under the null hypothesis is obtained. A numerical example is given.

  • This paper deals with the problem of testing the existence of change in mean and estimating the change-point using nonparametric bootstrap technique. A test statistic using Gombay and Horvath (1990)'s functional form is applied to derive a test statistic and nonparametric change-point estimator with bootstrapping idea. Achieved significance level of the test is calculated for the proposed test to show the evidence against the null hypothesis. MSE and percentiles of the bootstrap change-point estimators are given to show the distribution of the proposed estimator in simulation.

  • In this paper, we considered three methods for outlier identification sample surveys. First, we studied method of handling and adjusting outliers in normal population. Second, we studied existing methods using mean, maximum and minimum and proposed a test using of median which well reflects characteristic of data regardless of sampling distribution. Finally, we showed our test using median works better than Dixon and mean test through simulation.

  • In this paper we consider the problem of parameter change based on the cusum test proposed by Lee et al. (2003). The cusum test statistic is constructed utilizing the estimator minimizing density-based divergence measures. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the test statistic has the limiting distribution of the sup of standard Brownian bridge. Simulation results demonstrate that the cusum test is robust when there arc outliers.

  • In this research, we propose a nonparametric test procedure for the right censored and grouped data under the additive hazards model. For deriving the test statistics, we use the likelihood principle. Then we illustrate proposed test with an example and compare the performance with other procedure by obtaining empirical powers. Finally we discuss some interesting features concerning the proposed test.

  • In this paper, we consider the problem of testing for parameter changes in time series models based on a sequential test. Although the test procedure is well-established for the mean and variance change, a general parameter case has not been discussed in the literature. Therefore, we develop a sequential test for parameter changes in a more general framework.

Asymptotic Relative Efficiency of t-test Following Transformations

  • The two-sample t-test is not expected to be optimal when the two samples are not drawn from normal populations. According to Box and Cox (1964), the transformation is estimated to enhance the normality of the tranformed data. We investigate the asymptotic relative efficiency of the ordinary t-test versus t-test applied transformation introduced by Yeo and Johnson (1997) under Pitman local alternatives. The theoretical and simulation studies show that two-sample t-test using transformed date gives higher power than ordinary t-test for location-shift models.
