In this paper, a new extension of Lindley distribution has been introduced. Certain characterizations based on truncated moments, hazard and reverse hazard function, conditional expectation of the proposed distribution are presented. Besides, these characterizations, other statistical/mathematical properties of the proposed model are also discussed. The estimation of the parameters is performed through different classical methods of estimation. Bayes estimation is computed under gamma informative prior under the squared error loss function. The performances of all estimation methods are studied via Monte Carlo simulations in mean square error sense. The potential of the proposed model is analyzed through two data sets. A modified goodness-of-fit test using the Nikulin-Rao-Robson statistic test is investigated via two examples and is observed that the new extension might be used as an alternative lifetime model.

This paper introduces doubly Winsorized Poisson auto-model by truncating the support of a Poisson random variable both from above and below, and shows that this model has a same form of negpotential function as regular Poisson auto-model and one-way Winsorized Poisson auto-model. Strategies for maximum likelihood estimation of parameters are discussed. In addition to exact maximum likelihood estimation, Monte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation may be applied to this model.

In this paper the support vector method is presented for the probability density function estimation when the sample observations are contaminated with random noise. The performance of the procedure is compared to kernel density estimates by the simulation study.

In this paper, we discuss simple ways of implementing non-basic kernel density estimators which typically ceed extra pilot estimation. The methods utilize order statistics at the pilot estimation stages. We focus mainly on bariable lacation and scale kernel density estimator (Jones, Hu and McKay, 1994), but the same idea can be applied to other methods too.

Wavelets constitute a new orthogonal system which has direct application in density estimation. We introduce a brief wavelet density estimation and summarize some asymptotic results. An application to mixture normal distributions is implemented with S-Plus.

The Bayes estimation of the proportion in successive occasions sampling with randomized response model is discussed by means of Acceptance Rejection sampling. Bayesian estimation of transition probabilities in two successive occasions is suggested via Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm and its applicability is represented in a numerical example.

We investigate density estimation problem in the L$^{\infty}$ norm and show that the iii optimal minimax rates are achieved for smooth classes of weakly dependent stationary sequences. Our results are then applied to give uniform convergence rates for various problems including the Gibbs sampler.

Maximum likelihood estimation of Cholesky decomposition is considered under normality assumption. It is shown that maximum liklihood estimation gives a Cholesky decomposition of the sample covariance matrix. The joint distribution of the maximum likelihood estimators is derived. The ussual algorithm for a Cholesky decomposition is shown to be equivalent to a maximumlikelihood estimation of a Cholesky root when the underlying distribution is a multivariate normal one.

Considerable progress on the problem of data-driven bandwidth selection in kernel density estimation has been made recently. The goal of this paper is to provide an introduction to the methods currently available, with discussion at both a practical and a nontechnical theoretical level. The main setting considered here is global bandwidth kernel estimation, but some recent results on variable bandwidth kernel estimation are also included.

This paper is concerned with the detection of multiple change-points in linear regression models. The proposed procedure relies on the local estimation for global change-point estimation. We propose a multiple change-point estimator based on the local least squares estimators for the regression coefficients and the split measure when the number of change-points is unknown. Its statistical properties are shown and its performance is assessed by simulations and real data applications.
