This paper deals with the problem of estimating the autoregressive random coefficient of a first-order random coefficient autoregressive time series model applied to panel data of time series. The autoregressive random coefficients across individual units are assumed to be a random sample from a truncated normal distribution with the space (-1, 1) for stationarity. The estimates of random coefficients are obtained by an empirical Bayes procedure using the estimates of model parameters. Also, a Monte Carlo study is conducted to support the estimation procedure proposed in this paper. Finally, we apply our results to the economic panel data in Liu and Tiao(1980).

The exact cause of the system's failure is often unknown in the masked system lifetime data. In such type of data, there are two observable quantities, namely (i) the systems time to failure and (ii) the set of systems components that contains the component, which might cause the system to fail. Our objective in this paper is to use the maximum likelihood procedure in the presence of masked data to make inference for the reliability of the system's components. We assume a multi-component series system where each component has a constant failure rate. Different cases that permit for closed form solutions of point estimates are considered. The results obtained in this paper generalize other published results.

We evaluate the accuacy and precision of maximum likelihood estimation procedures for infectivity of HIV in partner studies. This is achieved by applying the oricedyre typothetical samples generated by computer. One hundred samples were generated with various combinations of parameters. The estimation procedure was found to be quite accurate. in addition it was found that the power of the test for equality of infectivities for two types of contact depends on sample size and length of observation period but not on the number of observations made on each subject. Tests based on a model for the infectivity had higher power than standard methods for comparing proportions.

The Box-Cox transformation is a well known family of power transformation that brings a set of data into agreement with the normality assumption of the residuals and hence the response variable of a postulated model in regression analysis. This paper proposes a new method for estimating the Box-Cox transformation using maximization of the Sample Entropy statistic which forces the data to get closer to normal as much as possible. A comparative study of the proposed procedure with the maximum likelihood procedure, the procedure via artificial regression estimation, and the recently introduced maximization of the Shapiro-Francia W' statistic procedure is given. In addition, we generate a table for the optimal spacings parameter in computing the Sample Entropy statistic.

An algorithm based on EM procedure which finds maximum likelihood estimators in a nonlinear regression with censored data is proposed, and asymptotic properties of the estimator are investigated in detail. Some numerical examples are also given.

본 연구에서는 혼합모형의 추론을 위한 벌점-최대우도추정량의 빠른 계산절차를 제안하다. 제안된 절차는 벌점-최대우도추정량을 위한 추정방정식에서 헷시안 행렬을 화살촉형태를 지닌 희소행렬을 통하여 근사 시킴으로써 계산속도의 향상을 가져왔다. 두 가지 가상실험을 통하여 제안된 근사식을 사용함으로써 얻게되는 계산시간의 감소와 동시에 이를 위하여 지불하여야 하는 근사오차에 대하여 살펴보았다.

In the first-order moving average model, we present the exact likelihood equations as function of variance, correlation and parameters of coefficients in the orthogonally transformed model. Existence of maximum likelihood estimates for these unknowns are studied and a computational method is provided. (Because of the limited space Ive do not present the computer program which is written in FORTRAN.) 40 sets of generated data and economic data are used to demonstrate, and few of them are presented in the Appendix. A numerical comparison of MLE with the efficient estimate proposed by Durbin is presented in the particular case.

The maximum likelihood(ML) estimation of the scale parameters of an exponential distribution based on progressive Type II censored samples is given. The sample is multiply censored (some middle observations being censored); however, the ML method does not admit explicit solutions. In this paper, we propose multiply progressive Type II censoring. This paper presents the statistical inference on the scale parameter for the exponential distribution when samples are multiply progressive Type II censoring. The scale parameter is estimated by approximate ML methods that use two different Taylor series expansion types ($AMLE_I$, $AMLE_{II}$). We also obtain the maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) of the scale parameter under the proposed multiply progressive Type II censored samples. We compare the estimators in the sense of the mean square error(MSE). The simulation procedure is repeated 10,000 times for the sample size n = 20 and 40 and various censored schemes. The $AMLE_{II}$ is better than MLE and $AMLE_I$ in the sense of the MSE.

This paper considers the estimation of the parameters of a normal population from which a sample which has been censored at a known point is obtained. Simple estimators are presented which are given in closed forms. It is shown that maximum likelihood estimators are obtained by using the estimation procedure iteratively. Some computer simulation results are given.

본 연구에서는 generalized logistic(GL) 분포의 최우도 추정량(maximum likelihood estimate)에 대한 불확실성 추정을 위하여 사용되는 관측정보행렬(observed information matrix)과 Fisher 정보행렬(Fisher information matrix)의 정확도를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 타 분포형에 대한 기존의 연구결과에서 표본의 크기가 클 경우 매개변수 추정시 관측정보행렬이 동시에 추정되어 계산시간도 단축되고 Fisher 정보행렬의 정확도와도 차이도 거의 없어 관측정보행렬의 사용이 추천된 바 있으나, 최근 사용이 증가되고 있는 GL 분포에 대한 연구결과는 아직 전무한 실정이며 기존 연구문헌의 결과를 토대로 구체적인 연구 없이 관측정보행렬을 사용하고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 모의실험을 수행하였으며, 모의 결과 최우도법에 의한 매개변수의 분산 및 공분산은 기존의 연구 결과와 비슷한 결과를 보이나, quantile에 대한 불확실성 추정에는 관측정보행렬보다 Fisher 정보행렬의 사용이 더 적절할 것으로 판단되었다.
