  • In this paper, when the parameter of interest is the shape parameter in Pareto distribution, we develop likelihood based inference for this parameter. Specially, we develop signed log-likelihood ratio statistic and the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic for the shape parameter. It is well-known that as sample size grows, the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic converges to standard normal distribution faster than the signed log-likelihood ratio statistic. But the computation of the modified signed log-likelihood statistic is hard or even impossible when the sufficient statistics and the ancillary statistics are not clear. In this case, one can consider an approximation to the modified signed log-likelihood statistic. Specially, when the parameter of interest is informationally orthogonal to the nuisance parameters, we propose the approximate modified signed log-likelihood statistic. Through simulation, we investigate the performances of the proposed statistics with the signed log-likelihood statistic.

  • This paper focuses on the likelihood based confidence intervals for two inverse gaussian distributions when the parameter of interest is common scale parameter. Confidence intervals based on signed loglikelihood ratio statistic and modified signed loglikelihood ratio statistics will be compared in small sample through an illustrative simulation study.

  • Small sample likelihood based inference for the shape parameter of the inverse Gaussian distribution is the purpose of this paper. When shape parameter is of interest, the signed log-likelihood ratio statistic and the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic are derived. Hsieh (1990) gave a statistical inference for the shape parameter based on an exact method. Throughout simulation, we will compare the statistical properties of the proposed statistics to the statistic given by Hsieh (1990) in term of confidence interval and power of test. We also discuss a real data example.

  • 이 논문에서는 두 개의 Maxwell분포의 모수들의 동질성을 모수비에 근거하여 검정하는 근사통계량을 제안한다. Maxwell분포의 모수비에 대한 추정량이 복잡하여 정확한 분포를 유도하기는 매우 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 하나의 대안으로 표준정규분포로 근사적으로 수렴하는 통계량을 고려해야 한다. 이 논문에서 제안된 통계량은 표준정규분포로 수렴하며, 표본의 수가 작은 경우에도 사용할 수 있다. 특히, 본 논문에서는 부호화 로그 우도비 통계량과 수정된 부호화 로그 우도비 통계량을 개발한다. 일반적으로, 수정된 부호화 로그 우도비 통계량은 로그 우도비 통계량에 비해 표준정규분포로 수렴하는 속도가 매우 빠르다. 부호화 로그 우도비 통계량은 작은 표본으로도 표준정규분포로 매우 빨리 수렴한다. 제안된 통계량들의 성질들을 모의실험을 통하여 알아보고, 제안된 통계량을 예제를 통하여 연구한다.
