This study examined the ambiguous using the terminology of statistics at mathematics textbook of highschool in Korea and proposed the correct using of sampling error and sampling distribution of sample mean with consistency. And this paper proposed that the concept of error have to teach in context of sampling action in school mathematics.

This article coined a general class of estimators for various measures in normal population when some' a priori' or guessed value of standard deviation a is available in addition to sample information. The class of estimators is primarily defined for a function of standard deviation. An unbiased estimator and the minimum mean squared error estimator are worked out and the suggested class of estimators is compared with these classical estimators. Numerical computations in terms of percent relative efficiency and absolute relative bias established the merits of the proposed class of estimators especially for small samples. Simulation study confirms the excellence of the proposed class of estimators. The beauty of this article lies in estimation of various measures like standard deviation, variance, Fisher information, precision of sample mean, process capability index $C_{p}$, fourth moment about mean, mean deviation about mean etc. as particular cases of the proposed class of estimators.

Bayesian probability models for finite populations are considered assuming so-called the super-population. We find the posterior distribution of population mean by a new approach, using the concept of pivotal quantity for the small sample case. A large sample theory is also treated throught the concept of asymptotically pivotal quantity.

In this paper, we find the second derivative of mean busy cycle with respect to a parameter of inter-arrival time distribution. We show that this derivative can be estimated from single sample path. We do the similar thing for the mean number of arrivals during busy cycle.

It has been known that the exponentiated exponential distribution can be used as a possible alternative to the gamma distribution or the Weibull distribution in many situations. But the maximum likelihood method does not admit explicit solutions when the sample is multiply censored. So we derive the approximate maximum likelihood estimators for the location and scale parameters in the exponentiated exponential distribution that are explicit function of order statistics. We also compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error for various censored samples.

Many tests for multivariate normality are based on the spherical coordinates of the scaled residuals of multivariate observations. Moore and Stubblebine's (1981) Pearson chi-square test is based on the radii of the scaled residuals, or equivalently the sample Mahalanobis distances of the observations from the sample mean vector. The chi-square statistic does not have a limiting chi-square distribution since the unknown parameters are estimated from ungrouped data. We will derive a simple closed form of the Rao-Robson chi-square test statistic and provide a self-contained proof that it has a limiting chi-square distribution. We then provide an illustrative example of application to a real data with a simulation study to show the accuracy in finite sample of the limiting distribution.

For Type-II censored sample, we propose three modified entropy estimators based on the Vasieck's estimator, van Es' estimator, and Correa's estimator. We also propose the goodness-of-fit tests of the Weibull distribution based on the modified entropy estimators. We simulate the mean squared errors (MSE) of the proposed entropy estimators and the powers of the proposed tests. We also compare the proposed tests with the modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cramer-von-Mises tests which were proposed by Kang et al. (2003).

Chandrasekar et al. (2004) introduced a generalized Type-II hybrid censoring. In this paper, we propose generalized doubly Type-II hybrid censoring. In addition, this paper presents the statistical inference on the scale parameter for the half logistic distribution when samples are generalized doubly Type-II hybrid censoring. The approximate maximum likelihood(AMLE) method is developed to estimate the unknown parameter. The scale parameter is estimated by the AMLE method using two di erent Taylor series expansion types. We compar the AMLEs in the sense of the mean square error(MSE). The simulation procedure is repeated 10,000 times for the sample size n = 20; 30; 40 and various censored samples. The $AMLE_I$ is better than $AMLE_{II}$ in the sense of the MSE.

We consider the problem of estimating the scale and shape parameter of the Weibull distribution based on censored samples. we propose the approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs) of the scale and shape parameters in the Weibull distribution based on Type-II censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of mean squared error (MSE).
