  • Sometimes a researcher with a view of conventional significance testing rejects his/her hypothesis, even through it could have not been rejected with a smaller sample. This can be a logical dilemma for a researcher who wants to "prove" a hypothesis rather than to show discrepancy from a null hypothesis. In this study, a new testing paradigm called equivalence testing via confidence interval will be developed so that it is suitable for the purpose of statistical proof.cal proof.

  • Normality is one of the most common assumptions made in sampling and statistical inference procedures without suffering from lack of attention. Its results may lead to an invalid conclusion. We present several testing procedures that can be used to evaluate the effects of departure from normality using concrete examples by hand or with the aid of Minitab. The goal is to influence prospective teachers in order to learn statistical concepts and techniques for testing normality on the basis of the didactical theory.

  • The choice if constants that define a life testing procedure is considered in terms of the test termination time (censoring time) and the number of items to be tested subject to a given range of variance of the expected life time, where the failure time of life testing is exponentially distributed.

  • A testing procedure is considered to the problem of testing whether there exists a shift in scale at an unknown time point whem a fixed number of observations are drawn successively in time. A test statistic based on squared ranks test for equal variances is suggested and its aymptotic distrbution is dereived. Small sample power comparisons are performed.

  • It is demonstrated that many standard nonparametric test such as the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, the Fisher-Yates test, the Savage test and the median test are admissible for a two-sample nonparametric testing problem. The admissibility of the Kruskal-Wallis test is demonstrated for a nonparametric one-way layout testing problem.

  • This paper consider the testing problem of grouped heteroscedasticity in the linear regression model. We provide the Lagrange Multiplier(LM), Wald, Likelihood Ratio (LR) test statistis for testing of grouped heteroscedasticity. Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to study the performance of these tests.

  • In this paper we consider the Bayesian hypothese testing for independence and symmetry in Freund's bivariate exponential model with censored data In Bayesian testing problem we use the noninformative priors for parameters which are improper and are defined only up to arbitrary constants. And we use the recently proposed hypotheses testing criterion called the intrinsic Bayes factor. Also we derive the arithmetic and median intrinsic Bayes factors and use these results of analyze some data sets.

  • We consider the step stress life testing which has been developed in order to perform the life testing of the units whose normal life time is long within a reasonable amount of time. The models suggested for statistical analysis of the data obtained form the stress life testing are reviewed and a model which contains these models in some respect is suggested. The statistical inference based on the suggested model is done using maximum likelihood and weighted least square estimates. Finally we review the design of the simple step stress life testing and extend the result to the censoring case.

  • When test outcomes of units are dichotomous and he infection rate is small group testing is more efficient that noe-to-one testing in estimating the true p and classifying units as infected or not. In this paper two-sided hypothesis testing and confidence intervals are derived based on the UMP(uniformly most powerful) unbiased test. The UMP unbiased approach is compared with Thompson's and Bhattacharyya et al.'s approaches by computing the length of confidence intervals and capture probabilities and shown to have a number of desirable properties. Unequal allocation one of advantages of the proposed approach is also mentioned.

  • In this paper, Bayesian hypothesis testing procedures are proposed under the non-informative prior distributions, which can be thought as the Bayesian counterparts of the classical ones in the sense of using the concept of significance level. The performances of proposed procedures are compared with those of classical procedures through several examples.
