  • We compare methods for detecting influential observations that have a large influence on the likelihood ratio test statistics that the two sets of variables are uncorrelated with one another. For this purpose we derive results of the deletion diagnostic, the influence function, the standardized influence matrix and the local influence. An illustrative example is given.

  • Suppose one is given a vector X of a finite set of quantities $X_i$ which are independent Poisson random variables. A null hypothesis $H_0$ about E(X) is to be tested against an alternative hypothesis $H_1$. A quantity $\sum\limits_{i}w_ix_i$ is to be computed and used for the test. The optimal values of $W_i$ are calculated for three cases: (1) signal to noise ratio is used in the test, (2) normal approximations with unequal variances to the Poisson distributions are used in the test, and (3) the Poisson distribution itself is used. The above three cases are considered to the situations that are without background noise and with background noise. A comparison is made of the optimal values of $W_i$ in the three cases for both situations.

  • We propose a criterion for testing homogeneity of matrix intraclass covariance matrices of K multivariate normal populations, It is based on a variable transformation intended to propose and develop a likelihood ratio criterion that makes use of properties of eigen structures of the matrix intraclass covariance matrices. The criterion then leads to a simple test that uses an asymptotic distribution obtained from Box's (1949) theorem for the general asymptotic expansion of random variables.

  • The distributional properties of R = X/(X + Y) and related estimation procedures are derived when X and Y are independent and identically distributed according to the Weibull or Levy distribution. The work is of interest in biological and physical sciences, econometrics, engineering and ranking and selection.

  • In statistical diagnostics a large number of influence measures have been proposed for identifying outliers and influential observations. However it seems to be few accounts of the influence diagnostics on test statistics. We study influence analysis on the likelihood ratio test statistic whether the two sets of variables are uncorrelated with one another or not. The influence of observations is measured using the case-deletion approach, the influence function. We compared the proposed influence measures through two illustrative examples.

  • As we shall dene an exponentiated complementary power function distribution, we shall consider moments, hazard rate, and inference for parameter in the distribution. And we shall consider an inference of the reliability and distributions for the quotient and the ratio in two independent exponentiated complementary power function random variables.

  • Exercise of complete control on all aspects of any manufacturing / fabrication process is very difficult, leading to uncertainties in the material properties and geometric dimensions of structural components. This is especially true for laminated composites because of the large number of parameters associated with its fabrication. When the basic parameters like elastic modulus, density and Poisson's ratio are random, the derived response characteristics such as deflections, natural frequencies, buckling loads, stresses and strains are also random, being functions of the basic random system parameters. In this study the basic elastic properties of a composite lamina are assumed to be independent random variables. Perturbation formulation is used to model the random parameters assuming the dispersions small compared to the mean values. The system equations are analyzed to obtain the mean and the variance of the plate natural frequencies. Several application problems of free vibration analysis of composite plates, employing the proposed method are discussed. The analysis indicates that, at times it may be important to include the effect of randomness in material properties of composite laminates.

  • The proportional likelihood ratio order is an extension of the likelihood ratio order for the non-negative absolutely continuous random variables. In addition, the Lindley distribution has been over looked as a mixture of two exponential distributions due to the popularity of the exponential distribution. In this paper, we first recalled the above concepts and then obtained various properties of the Lindley distribution due to the proportional likelihood ratio order. These results are more general than the likelihood ratio ordering aspects related to this distribution. Finally, we discussed the proportional likelihood ratio ordering in view of the weighted version of the Lindley distribution.

  • For the Change-point problem in a sequence of binomial variables we consider the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of unknown change-point. Its asymptotic distribution is quite limited in the case of binomial variables with different numver of trials at each time point. Hinkley and Hinkley (1970) gives an asymptotic distribution of the MLE for a sequence of Bernoulli random variables. To find the asymptotic distribution a numerical method such as bootstrap can be used. Another concern of our interest in the inference on the change-point and we derive confidence sets based on the liklihood ratio test(LRT). We find approximate confidence sets from the bootstrap distribution and compare the two results through an example.
