  • For modeling(skewed) semicircular data, we derive a new exponential family of distributions. We extend it to the l-axial exponential family of distributions by a projection for modeling any arc of arbitrary length. It is straightforward to generate samples from the l-axial exponential family of distributions. Asymptotic result reveals that the linear exponential family of distributions can be used to approximate the l-axial exponential family of distributions. Some trigonometric moments are also derived in closed forms. The maximum likelihood estimation is adopted to estimate model parameters. Some hypotheses tests and confidence intervals are also developed. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is adopted for a goodness of t test of the l-axial exponential family of distributions. Samples of orientations are used to demonstrate the proposed model.

  • In man cases, the measurement error variances may be functions of the unknown true values or related covariate. In some cases, the measurement error variances increase in proportion to the value of predictor. This paper develops estimators of the parameters of a linear measurement error variance function under stratified multistage random sampling design and additional conditions. Also, this paper evaluates and compares the power of an asymptotically unbiased test with that of an asymptotically biased test. The proposed method are applied to blood sample measurements from the U.S. Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES III)

  • In this thesis. we estimated the good reliability coefficient ${\beta}$$\sub$k/ that is unbiased, consistent and more efficient than Cronbach's ${\alpha}$$\sub$k/ in splitting of a test into several formats of subtests and several properties of ${\beta}$$\sub$k/ are also represented. The tables of coefficients of skewness and kurtosis are represented to test the significance of departures from normality. We got the cumulative normal plots of z'from the distribution which is departed from normality using the Bock's approximation procedure and we finally enumerated the transformed standardized scores z'and a new raw score X' which enable us to proceed further evaluation procedures depending on our assessment policy.

  • This paper presents a modified entropy-based test of fit for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The test is based on the entropy difference of the unknown data-generating distribution and the inverse Gaussian distribution. The entropy difference estimator used as the test statistic is obtained by employing Vasicek's sample entropy as an entropy estimator for the data-generating distribution and the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator as an entropy estimator for the inverse Gaussian distribution. The critical values of the test statistic empirically determined are provided in a tabular form. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the proposed test with the previous entropy-based test in terms of power.

  • The objective of this paper is to estimate the aerodynamic derivatives of a single turbo-prop aircraft at a specified flight condition for the best deduction of the dynamic characteristics using modified maximum likelihood estimation method whcih is known to be unbiased, efficient, and consistent. The flight test data necessary to the estimation of aerodynamic derivatives is obtained by implementing the six degree of freedom nonlinear flight simulation to consider the effects of several control input types, control deflection amplitudes, and intensity of turbulence. The simulated data is added with the measurement noise, which is regarded as the actual flight test data.

  • The Design of Experiment (DOE) is a most practical technique when establishing an optimal condition for production technology in Six Sigma innovation project. This research proposes the assessment of properties of error terms, such as normality, equal variance, unbiasedness and independence. The properties of six nonparametric ranking techniques for checking normality assumption are discussed as well as run test which is used to identify the randomness, and to check unbiased assumption. Furthermore, Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics and ARIMA (p,d,q) process are discussed to identify the serial correlation.

  • We furnished some properties of fuzzy testing of independence for correlation in a bivariate normal distribution by agreement index. First we present some restriction of the fuzzy data, define fuzzy sample correlation coefficient and agreement index for testing hypothesis with acceptance or rejection degree. Also, we show that UMP unbiased fuzzy test and drawing conclusions the fuzzy test.

  • This study was done to estimate the effect of progeny numbers and pedigree depth on the accuracy of the estimated breeding value (EBV) using best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) method in Hanwoo. The experiment groups (sire = 100, 200, and 300; progeny = 4 and 8) were made by random sampling and by genetic evaluation of the following traits: Body weight (BW), carcass weight (CW), eye muscle area (EMA), back fat thickness (BFT) and marbling score (MS9). As a result of the genetic evaluation, the accuracy of the EBV was roughly 30 - 60% with 4 progenies, and the accuracy of the EBV increased by about 50 - 75% with 8 progenies. In the other words, when the number of progenies increased from 4 to 8, the accuracy of the EBV simultaneously increased by about 15 - 20%. Moreover, when the number of sires was higher, variations in the accuracy of the EBV within the groups for each trait decreased. Therefore, this result indicates that not only the number of progeny but also the number of sires can affect the accuracy of the EBV. Consequently, collecting information on the progeny and careful management of that information are very important things in the Hanwoo breeding system. Therefore, the EBV can show more precise results when conducting genetic evaluations.

  • This research is for comparison of test statistics for homogeneity when the data is collected based on complex sample design. The survey data based on complex sample design does not satisfy the condition of independency which is required for the standard Pearson multinomial-based chi-squared test. Today, lots of data sets ara collected by complex sample designs, but the tests for categorical data are conducted using the standard Pearson chi-squared test. In this study, we compared the performance of three test statistics for homogeneity between two populations using data from the 2009 customer satisfaction evaluation survey to the service from Gyeongsangnam-do regional offices of education: the standard Pearson test, the unbiasedWald test, and the Pearsontype test with survey-based point estimates. Through empirical analyses, we fist showed that the standard Pearson test inflates the values of test statistics very much and the results are not reliable. Second, in the comparison of Wald test and Pearson-type test, we find that the test results are affected by the number of categories, the mean and standard deviation of the eigenvalues of design matrix.

  • This article considers the power performance of the tests in unbalanced two way mixed linear models with one fixed factor. The generalized least squares (GLS) F statistic testing no differences among the effects of the levels of the fixed factor is estimated using Henderson's method III, minimum norm quadratic unbiased estimator (MINQUE) with prior guess 1, maximum likelihood (ML) and resticted maximum likelihood (REML). We investigate the power performance of these test statistics. It can be shown, through simulation, that the GLS F statistics using four estimators produce similar type I error rates and power performance.
