This paper provides a method of obtaining a lower bound on the probability of correct selection for a two-stage selection procedure. The resulting lower bound sharpens that by Tamhane and Bechhofer (1979) for the normal means problem with a common known variance. The design constants associated with the lower bound are computed and the results of the performance comparisons are given.

Meta-analysis provides a way of integrating several independent studies of interest. Since small studies with statistically significant results are more likely to be published, publication bias, which is a special case of selection bias, often occurs in meta analysis. Conditional likelihood and weighted estimating equation have been proposed to deal with publication bias, but they require to specify a correct selection probability model. In contrast, the pairwise pseudolikelihood approach can correct publication bias without fully specifying the correct selection probability model, but its performance in meta-analysis was not investigated. In this paper, we perform a numerical study about whether the pairwise pseudolikelihood approach is effective for solving publication bias arising from typical meta-analysis settings.

When we select the t best out of k populations in the indifference zone formulation, a lower confidence bound on the probability of a correct selection is derived for families with monotone likelihood ratio. The result is applied to the normal means problem when the variance is common, and to the normal variances problem. Tables to implement the confidence bound for the normal variances problem are provided.

Web services instances can be classified into two categories, namely trusted and untrusted from users. A web service with high throughput (TP) and low response time (RT) instance values is a trusted web service. Web services are not trustworthy due to the mismatch in the guaranteed instance values and the actual values achieved by users. To perform web services selection from users' attained TP and RT values, we need to verify the correct prediction of trusted and untrusted instances from invoked web services. This accurate prediction of web services instances is used to perform the selection of web services. We propose to construct fuzzy rules to label web services instances correctly. This paper presents web services selection using a well-known machine learning algorithm, namely REPTree, for the correct prediction of trusted and untrusted instances. Performance comparison of REPTree with five machine learning models is conducted on web services datasets. We have performed experiments on web services datasets using a ten k-fold cross-validation method. To evaluate the performance of the REPTree classifier, we used accuracy metrics (Sensitivity and Specificity). Experimental results showed that web service (WS1) gained top selection score with the (47.0588%) trusted instances, and web service (WS2) was selected the least with (25.00%) trusted instances. Evaluation results of the proposed web services selection approach were found as (asymptotic sig. = 0.019), demonstrating the relationship between final selection and recommended trust score of web services.

In this paper we consider the problem of the model selection/discrimination among three different positively skewed lifetime distributions. Lindley, Weibull, and gamma distributions have been used to effectively analyze positively skewed lifetime data. This paper assesses how much closer the Lindley distribution gets to Weibull and gamma distributions. We consider three techniques that involve the likelihood ratio test, asymptotic likelihood ratio test, and minimum Kolmogorov distance as optimality criteria to diagnose the appropriate fitting model among the three distributions for a given data set. Monte Carlo simulation study is performed for computing the probability of correct selection based on the considered optimality criteria among these families of distributions for various choices of sample sizes and shape parameters. It is observed that overall, the Lindley distribution is closer to Weibull distribution in the sense of likelihood ratio and Kolmogorov criteria. A real data set is presented and analyzed for illustrative purposes.

In this paper, we propose two selection procedures for selecting populations better than a control population. The bestness is defined in terms of location parameter. One of the procedures is based on two-sample linear rank statistics whereas the other one is based on a comparatively simple statistic, and is useful when testing time is expensive so that an early termination of an experiment is desirable. The proposed selection procedures are seen to be strongly monotone. Performance of the proposed procedures is assessed through simulation study.

A bootstrap method is used to correct the apparent downward bias of a naive plug-in bootstrap model selection criterion, which is shown to enjoy a high degree of accuracy. Comparison of bootstrap method with the asymptotic method is made through an illustrative example.

Six sigma is an innovative management movement which provides improved business process by adapting the paradigm and the trend of market and customers. Suitable selection of six sigma project could highly reduce the costs, improve the quality, and enhance the customer satisfaction. There are existing studies on the selection of Six Sigma projects, but few studies have been conducted to select the correct project under an incomplete information environment. The purpose of this study is to propose the application of integrated MCDM techniques for correct project selection under incomplete information. The project selection process of six sigma involves four steps as follows: 1) determination of project selection criteria 2) calculation of relative importance of team member's competencies 3) assessment with project preference scale 4) finalization of ranking the projects. This study proposes the combination methods by applying group fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), an easy defuzzified number of Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (TrFN) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA). Both of the weight of project selection criteria and the relative importance of team member's competencies can be evaluated by group fuzzy AHP. Project preferences are assessed by easy defuzzified scale of TrFN in case of incomplete information.)

We consider nonparametric procedures for the selection and ranking problems. Tukey's generalized lambda distribution is condidered as the distribution for the score function because the distribution can approximate many well-known contionuous distributions. Also we compare these procedures in terms of efficiency, defined by the ratio of a probability of a correct selection divided by the expected selected subset size.

we propose two methods which separate the variable selection step and the split-point selection step. We call these two algorithms as CHITES method and F&CHITES method. They adapted some of the best characteristics of CART, CHAID, and QUEST. In the first step the variable, which is most significant to predict the target class values, is selected. In the second step, the exhaustive search method is applied to find the splitting point based on the selected variable in the first step. We compared the proposed methods, CART, and QUEST in terms of variable selection bias and power, error rates, and training times. The proposed methods are not only unbiased in the null case, but also powerful for selecting correct variables in non-null cases.
