For testing homogeneity of scale parameters aginst ordered alternatives, some nonparametric test statistics based on pairwise ranking method are proposed. The proposed tests are distribution-free. The asymptotic distributions of the proposed statistcs are also investigated. It is shown that the Pitman efficiencies of the proposed rank tests are the same as those of the corresponding two-sample rank tests in the scale problem. A small-sample Monte Carlo study is also performed. The results show that the proposed tests are robust and efficient.

An asymptotically distribution-free procedure is proposed for paralleism of k regression lines against umbrella alternatives. Asymptotic properties are discussed, and comparative results relative to Kim and Lim(1994)'s tests show that our procedure is generally more powerful.

An adaptive distribution-free test is proposed for testing the equality of k independent distributions against unrestricted alternatives. In this paper, several rank-sum test statistics are considered as teh components of the adaptive one. The emprical powers of the adaptive testing procedure are compared to those of the classical F test and the component tests through a Monte Carlo study. The results show that the adaptive test has good power properties over a wide class of underlying distributions.

In this paper, we consider the problem of constructing the lower cofidence intervals for the reliability P(X < Y z,w), where the stress X and the strength Y are the random variables with explanatory variables z and w, respectively. As an estimator of the reliability, a Mann-Whitney type statistic is considered. It is shown that under regularity conditions, the proposed estimator is asymptotically normal. Based on the result, the distribution free lower confidence intervals are constructed.

The Finite Element Method is applied to the determination of the deformed bulge profile and strain distribution during upset forming of cylindrical billets. From the results of simulation, the bulging along the z-axis becomes more severe with increasing eight reduction, and with increasing friction at the die-material interface. The present method can be used for the simple prediction of the deformed shape and strain distribution in upset forging of cylindrical billets with dissimilar fictional conditions at the die-material interfaces.

Absolute Lorenz curve plays an important role for measuring absolute income inequality. Properties of absolute Lorenz curve are listed. Asymptotically distribution free and consistent tests have been proposed for comparing two absolute Lorenz curves in the whole interval [P1, P2] where 0 < P1 < P2 < 1. Absolute Lorenz ordering has been discussed for some distributions.

Gene classification can involve complex order-restricted inference. Examining gene expression pattern across groups with order-restriction makes standard statistical inference ineffective and thus, requires different methods. For this problem, Roy's union-intersection principle has some merit. The M-estimator adjusting for outlier arrays in a microarray study produces a robust test statistic with distribution-insensitive clustering of genes. The M-estimator in conjunction with a union-intersection principle provides a nonstandard robust procedure. By exact permutation distribution theory, a conditionally distribution-free test based on the proposed test statistic generates corresponding p-values in a small sample size setup. We apply a false discovery rate (FDR) as a multiple testing procedure to p-values in simulated data and real microarray data. FDR procedure for proposed test statistics controls the FDR at all levels of ${\alpha}$ and ${\pi}_0$ (the proportion of true null); however, the FDR procedure for test statistics based upon normal theory (ANOVA) fails to control FDR.

During the manufacture of FGM plates, defects such as porosities can appear. Those can change the entire behavior of these plates. This paper aims to investigate the free vibration characteristics of porous functionally graded (FG) plates resting on elastic foundations. The Young's modulus of the plate is assumed to vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law formulation, and the Poisson ratio is held constant. Different types of porosity distribution rates are considered. To examine the accuracy of the present formulation, several comparison studies are investigated. Effects of variation of porosity distribution rate, foundation parameter, power-law index and thickness ratio on the fundamental frequency of plates have been investigated.

This paper proposes free warranty interval for repairable items when the failure types of item are considered. Failure types are classified into major failure and minor failure. If major failure occurs during warranty period, the item is replaced and if minor failure occurs during warranty period, the item is minimally repaired. This paper determines the optimum free warranty interval which minimizes total expected cost of the free warranty cost model. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has weibull distribution.

The free trade zone would be evaluated at the point of granting exceptions of lease and disposal of land and manufactory, the organic relationship of the Manufacture and distribution, the reduction of rental value for foreign investment company and tax refund or exemption for customs duty that can be able to extend and draw new foreign investment enterprises. But despite of these, Free Trade zone, taking it in all its bearings, I considered its institutional problems and tried to find betterment of this.
