  • In this thesis the following studies have been tried: 1. To estimate reliability and validity of the items of scholastic achievment tests that had been tested by the evaluation service centers. 2. To smooth the sample frequency distribution of observed scores and to estimate the frequency distribution of observed scores approximating to the Negative Hypergeometric Distribution.

  • Two-piece double exponential distribution (TPDE) with one piece $(X \leq 0)$ having the scale parameter $\theta_1$ while the other piece (X>0) having $\theta_2$ is considered here. Distribution of the sum of n-independent variables from such a distribution is obtained. Special cases of this distribution are also treated. Next, distribution of the ratio of two independent (TPDE) variables is derived. As an extension, distribution of $x_1/x_2x_3$ is expressed terms of hypergeometric functions. A small table gives the power of the test regarding double exponential against (TPDE).

  • For a two-parameter Pareto distribution, the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimateors(UMVUE) for the function of the two parameters are expressed in terms of confluent hypergeometric function. The variance of the UMVUE is also expressed in terms of hypergeometric function of several variables. UMVUE's for the ${\gamma}th$ moment about zero and several useful parametric functions, and their variances are obtained as special cases. The estimators of Baxter(1980) and Saksena and Johnson(1984) are special cases of our estimator.

  • We shall consider estimations of an exponetiated parameter of the exponentiated Pareto distribution with known scale and threshold parameters. A quotient distribution of two independent exponentiated Pareto random variables is obtained. We also derive the distribution of the ratio of two independent exponentiated Pareto random variables.

  • In testing the partial association between two variables after controlling for the S levels of a third factor, the Mantel and Haenszel (1959) statistic is often used. Since the statistic is based on the asymptotic distribution of the sum X of S hypergeometric variates, a guideline for the minimum requirements for the application of the statistic is useful. Mantel and Fleiss (1980) developed a criterion based on the guideline for the Pearson's $X^2$ statistic. The criterion requires the distance from the expected value to the closer bound of X to be at least five. The Mantel-Fleiss (MF) criterion was studied through a simulation using the hypergeometric sampling scheme. The criterion is not satisfactory. The size of statistic exceeded nominal 0.05 level nearly 1/5 of the cases even when the criteion is met. However, the results show that the statistic is much more unstable and conservative when the criterion is not met.

  • We consider estimation of the right-tail probability in a log-Laplace random variable, As we derive the density of ratio of two independent log-Laplace random variables, the k-th moment of the ratio is represented by a special mathematical function. and hence variance of the ratio can be represented by a psi-function.
