  • Using the normalized sample Lorenz curve which is introduced by Kang and Cho (2001), we propose the test statistics for testing of normality that is very important test in statistical analysis and compare the proposed test with the other tests in terms of the power of test through by Monte Carlo method. The proposed test is more power than the other tests except some cases

  • Consider the regression model $Y_i=g(x_i)+e_i\;for\;i=1,\;2,\;{\ldots},\;n$, where: (1) $x_i$ are fixed design points, (2) $e_i$ are independent random errors with mean zero, (3) g($\cdot$) is unknown regression function defined on [0, 1]. Under $Y_i$ are censored randomly, we discuss the asymptotic normality of the weighted kernel estimators of g when the censored distribution function is known or unknown.

  • This research presents an implementation strategy of Process Capability Index (PCI) according to the types of process characteristics. The types of process feature are classified as four perspectives of variation range, time period, error position, and process stage. The paper examines short-term or long-term PCI, within or between variation, position of precision or accuracy, and inclusion of measurement or calibration stage. Moreover, the study proposes normality test of unilateral PCI.

  • A chi-squared test of multivariate normality is suggested which is oriented for detecting deviations from elliptical symmetry. We derive the limiting distribution of the test statistic via a central limit theorem on empirical processes. A simulation study is conducted to study the accuracy of the limiting distribution in finite samples. Finally, we compare the power of our method with those of other popular tests of multivariate normality under a non-normal distribution.

  • This paper examines regularity and normality in soft separation axioms for soft bitopological ordered spaces and their relationships with other properties. The findings expand our understanding of bitopological ordered spaces. Previous research, such as Al-Shami's work [3], has established distinctions between separation axioms in topological ordered spaces, which are more effective in describing these spaces' properties.

  • In this paper, we consider Jarque-Bera (JB) normality test for the innovations of ARMA-GARCH models. In financial applications, JB test based on the residuals are routinely used for the normality of ARMA-GARCH innovations without a justification. However, the validity of JB test should be justified in advance of the actual practice (Lee et al., 2009). Through the simulation study, it is found that the validity of JB test depends on the shape of test statistic. Specifically, when the constant term is involved in ARMA model, a certain type of residual based JB test produces severe size distortions.

  • Testing for normality has always been an important part of statistical methodology. In this paper a test statistic for multivariate normality is proposed. The underlying idea is to investigate all the possible linear combinations that reduce to the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis and compare the order statistics of them with the theoretical normal quantiles. The suggested statistic is invariant with respect to nonsingular matrix multiplication and vector addition. We show that the limit distribution of an approximation to the suggested statistic is representable as the supremum over an index set of the integral of a suitable Gaussian process.

  • Testing for normality has always been a center of practical and theoretical interest in statistical research. In this paper a test statistic for bivariate normality is proposed. The underlying idea is to investigate all the possible linear combinations that reduce to the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis and compare the order statistics of them with the theoretical normal quantiles. The suggested statistic is invariant with respect to nonsingular matrix multiplication and vector addition. We show that the limit distribution of an approximation to the suggested statistic is represented as the supremum over an index set of the integral of a suitable Gaussian Process. We also simulate the null distribution of the statistic and give some critical values of the distribution and power results.

  • This paper investigates the effects of non-normality on the performance of univariate and multivariate cumulative sum(CUSUM) control charts for monitoring the process mean. In-control and out-of-control average run lengths of the charts are examined for the univariate/multivariate lognormal and t distributions. The effects of the reference value and the correlation coefficient under the non-normal distributions are also studied. Simulation results show that the CUSUM charts with small reference values are robust to non-normality but those with moderate or large reference values are sensitive to non-normal data especially to process data from skewed distributions. The performance of the chart to detect mean shift of a process is not invariant to the direction of the shift for skewed distributions.

  • We study the normality of the maximum partial likelihood estimators for the proportional hazard model with informative censored data. The proposed models cover the cases in which the times to a primary event may be informatively or randomly censored and the times to a secondary event may be randomly censored. To estimate the parameters and to check the normality of the parameters in the model, we adopt the partial likelihood and counting process to use the martingale central limit theorem. Simulation studies are performed to examine the normality of the MPLE's for the five cases in which they depend upon the proportions of randomly censored and informative censored data.
