  • 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.

  • Approximations for the null distribution of a test statistic arising in multivariate analysis to test homogeneity of variances and a mixture of two beta distributions by making use of a product of beta baseline density function and a polynomial adjustment, so called beta-polynomial density approximant, are discussed. Explicit representations of density and distribution approximants of interest in each case can easily be obtained. Beta-polynomial density approximants produce good approximation over the entire range of the test statistic and also accommodate even the bimodal distribution using an artificial example of a mixture of two beta distributions.

  • The objective of this research is to investigate the problem of goodness-of-fit testing based on nonparametric density estimation with a data-driven smoothing parameter. The small and large sample properties of a new test statistic $\hat{\lambda_a}$ is investigated. The test statistic $\hat{\lambda_a}$ is itself a smoothing parameter which is selected to minimize an estimated MISE for a truncated series estimator of the comparison density function. Therefore, this test statistic leads immediately to a point estimate of the density function th the event that $H_0$ is rejected. The limiting distribution of $\hat{\lambda_a}$ is obtained under the null hypothesis. It is also shown that this test is consistent against fixed alternatives.

  • Comparative Statistic Module(CSM) provides more reliable list of significant genes to genomics researchers by offering the commonly selected genes and a method of choice by calculating the rank of each statistical test based on the average ranking of common genes across the five statistical methods, i.e. t-test, Kruskal-Wallis (Wilcoxon signed rank) test, SAM, two sample multiple test, and Empirical Bayesian test. This statistical analysis module is implemented in Perl, and R languages.

  • A nonparametric test for the parallelisim of k regression lines against ordered alternatives is proposed. The test statistic is weighted Jonckheere-type statistic applied to slope estimators obtained from each lines. The distribution of the proposed test statistic is asymptotically distribution-free. From the viewpoint of efficiencies, the proposed test desirable properties and is more efficient than the other nonparametric tests.

  • A distribution-free rank test for parallelism of regression lines against ordered alternatives is considered. The proposed test statistic is based on the Kepner-Robinson's transformation. The null distribution of the proposed statistic is the same as that of the Wilcoxon signed rank statistic. But, the proposed procedure can be applied only to four or fewer regression lines. The results of a small-sample Monte Carlo study show that the proposed test is comparable with the parametric test in heavy tailed distributions.

  • The chi-squared test statistic is usually employed for testing independence of two categorical variables in a two-way contingency table. It is well known that, under independence, the test statistic has an asymptotic chi-squared distribution under multinomial or product-multinomial models. For the case where both margins fixed, the sampling model of the contingency table is a multiple hypergeometric distribution and the chi-squared test statistic follows the same limiting distribution. In this paper, we study the difference between the small sample and large sample distributions of the chi-squared test statistic for the case with fixed margins. For a few small sample cases, the exact small sample distribution of the test statistic is directly computed. For a few large sample sizes, the small sample distribution of the statistic is generated via a Monte Carlo algorithm, and then is compared with the large sample distribution via chi-squared probability plots and Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests.

  • This study was aimed to establish the evaluating protocol and standard assessment for genetically modified (GM) hot pepper and to find out a proper statistic method to analyze for equality of agricultural characters between GM and non-GM pepper lines. GM and non-GM hot pepper lines were cultivated in two GMO fields in the middle region of Korea and total of 52 agricultural characters were collected during the plant growing season for 4 years, 2007 to 2010. Levene's test was conducted to confirm the homogeneity of raw data before statistic analysis. Two-way ANOVA in the multivariate tests and t-test were conducted to analyze 52 agricultural characters in order to find out the equality between H15 and P2377. From the statistical analysis through two-way ANOVA, 16 out of 16 plant growth traits, 9 out of 18 green fruit traits and 7 out of 18 red fruit traits among 4 years and 9 out of 16 plant growth traits, 4 out of 18 green fruit traits and 3 out of 18 red fruit traits between H15 and P2377 have shown the statistic differences. With the same raw data of 52 agricultural characters, t-test was also conducted. Based on the result from t-test, only 1 out of 16 plant growth traits, 2 out of 18 green fruit traits and 1 out of 18 red fruit traits have shown the differences between H15 and P2377, so that it was concluded that there is no statistic difference between H15 and P2377 in terms of agricultural characters. Also, the t-test is a proper statistic method to analyze each trait between GM and its control lines in order to evaluate agricultural characters.
