We consider the problem of testing the existence of change in mean and estimating the change-point when the data are from the normal distribution. A change-point estimator using the likelihood ratio test statistic, Gombay and Horvath (1990) test statistic, and nonparametric change-point estimator using Carlstein (1988) empirical distribution are studied when there exists one change-point in the mean. A power study is done to compare the change test statistics. And a comparison study of change-point estimators for estimation capability is done via simulations with S-plus software.

A permutation test is the popular and attractive alternative to derive asymptotic distributions of dimension test statistics in sufficient dimension reduction methodologies; however, recent studies show that a bootstrapping technique also can be used. We consider two types of bootstrapping dimension determination, which are partial and whole bootstrapping procedures. Numerical studies compare the permutation test and the two bootstrapping procedures; subsequently, real data application is presented. Considering two additional bootstrapping procedures to the existing permutation test, one has more supporting evidence for the dimension estimation of the central subspace that allow it to be determined more convincingly.

For the detection on variance changes in the nonstationary time series with a unit root two types of test statistics are proposed, of which one is based on the cumulative sum of squares and the other is based on the likelihood ratio test. The properties of the cusum type test statistic are derived and the performance of two tests in small samples are compared through Monte Carlo study. It is ovserved that the test based on the cumulative sum of squares can detect a samll change in the variance faster than the one based on the likelihood ratio.

In this paper we consider the multiple unit root tests both for the regular and seasonal unit roots based on the Lagrange Multiplier(LM) principle. Unlike Li(1991)'s method, by plugging the restricted maximum likelihood estimates of the nuisance parameters in the model, we propose a Lagrange multiplier test which does not depend on the existence of the nuisance parameters. The asymptotic distribution of the proposed statistic is derived and empirical percentiles of the test statistic for selected seasonal periods are provided. The power and size of the test statistic for examined for finite samples through a Monte Carlo simularion.

Kullback-Leibler (KL) information is a measure of discrepancy between two probability density functions. However, several nonparametric density function estimators have been considered in estimating KL information because KL information is not well-defined on the empirical distribution function. In this paper, we consider the KL information of the equilibrium distribution function, which is well defined on the empirical distribution function (EDF), and propose an EDF-based goodness of fit test statistic. We evaluate the performance of the proposed test statistic for an exponential distribution with Monte Carlo simulation. We also extend the discussion to the censored case.

본 연구에서는 핵확산 감시와 관련된 이상점 탐지를 위한 일반화 우도비 검정 방법이 개발되었다. 고전적인 이상점 탐지방법들이 연속형 변수만을 고려한 반면, 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 연속형 변수, 이산형 변수, 혹은 이산형과 연속형이 혼합된 변수들에 모두 적용될 수 있다. 더우기 대부분의 고전적인 방법들에 있어서 주로 이용된 정규분포 가정을 필요로 하지 않는다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법은 일반화 우도비에 붓스트랩 방법을 적용하여 구성되었다. 모의 실험을 통하여 검정력을 고찰함으로써 제안된 검정방법의 성능을 연구하였다.

The main objective of this study is to present a new approach to obtain moment inequalities for the new better than renewal used (NBRU) class of life distributions. In order to achieve our main objective, the moment inequalities for NBRU class of life distribution using the new approach has been derived and then a new test for testing exponentiality against NBRU class based on these inequalities has been constructed. Then we calculate the Pitman asymptotic efficiency for the proposed test using some alternative distributions and comparing it with the other tests. Moreover, we make a comparison between Pittman asymptotic efficiencies (PAE's) and PAE's of some other tests. A simulation study is conducted to calculate the upper critical values and the power estimate of the proposed test for some common alternatives. Finally, we apply the suggested test to some real data.

There are many statistical methods of testing the equality of two population variances. Among them, the well-known F test is very sensitive to the normality assumption. Several other tests that do not assume normality have been proposed, but these tests usually need tables of critical values or software for hypotheses testing. McGrath and Yeh (2005) suggested a quick and compact Count Five test requiring only the calculation of the number of extreme points. Since the Count Five test uses only extreme values, this discards some information from the samples, often resulting in a degradation in power. In this paper, an alternative Count Five test using the trimmed mean is proposed and its properties are discussed for some distributions and normal mixtures.

In this study, we gave 132 high school students fifteen probabilities and nine statistics problems of the Korean College Scholastic Aptitude Test and then analyzed their answer using the classical test theory and the item response theory. Using the classical test theory (the Testian 1.0) we get the item reliability ($0.730 \sim 0.765$), and using the item response theory (the Bayesian 1.0) we get the item difficulty ( $-2.32\sim0.83$ ) and discrimination ( $0.55\sim 2.71$). From results, we find out what and why students could not understand well.

Purpose - This study measures how competitive securities broker-dealers are in the Korean financial markets. It aims to test whether the markets are perfectly competitive or monopolistic since the global financial crisis of 2008. Research design, data, and methodology - We apply the method developed by Panzar and Rosse (1987), H-statistics, which offers an index for the competitiveness as well as statistical tests. The dataset in use is retrieved mainly from the quarterly statements of the financial services companies by the Financial Statistics Information System of the Financial Supervisory Service. General information on officers and employees is utilized in addition to balance sheets and income statements of securities companies. Results - H-statistics for 2009-2015 is about 0.7 that is a robust estimate regardless of model specifications such as full trans-log, partial trans-log, and Cobb-Douglas regression equations. H-statistics for each year is also computed in similar ways in that it varies between 0.3 and 0.9. Conclusions - Since the global financial crisis, H-statistics concludes that securities broker-dealer markets in Korea is neither perfectly competitive nor monopolistic. It evidences that the markets are rather monopolistically competitive. The trend in annual H-statistics leads to the same conclusion but the result is not such stable that overall H-statistics implies.
