In this thesis, a new test statistic is proposed for testing exponentiality against New Better than Used (NBU) alternatives. Our test statistic, which is based on a quadratic function of the order statistics from the sample, is readily applied in the case of small sample. Also, Our test statistic is more simple than the test statistic of Hollander and Proschan(1972).

In this paper, we propose the two-sample test statistic using Wilcoxon signed rank test on ranked-set sampling(RSS) and obtain the asymptotic relative efficiencies(ARE) of the proposed test statistic with respect to Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on simple random sampling(SRS), the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on RSS, sign statistic on RSS and Wilcoxon signed rank test on SRS. From the simulation works, we compare the powers of the proposed test statistic, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon statistic on RSS, the usual two-sample t statistic, sign statistic on RSS, where the underlying distributions are uniform, normal, double exponential, logistic and Cauchy distributions.

We derive a test statistic for the general linear test in the ridge regression model. The exact distribution for the test statistic is too difficult to derive; therefore, we suggest an approximate reference distribution. We use numerical studies to verify that the suggested distribution for the test statistic is appropriate. A asymptotic result for the test statistic also is considered.

This paper proposes a new nonparametric test for testing the null hypothesis that the MRL is constant against the alternative hypothesis that the MRL is decreasing (increasing) for ramdomly censored data. The proposed test statistic is a L-statistic, and we use L-statistic theory to establish its asymptotic normality of the test statistic. We discuss the efficiency loss due to censoring and also calculate the asymptotic relative efficiencies of our test statistic with respect to the Chen, Hollander and Langberg's test for several alternatives.

Ranked-set sampling is useful when measurements are destructive or costly to obtain but ranking of the observations is rel-atively easy. The Wilcoxon signed rank test statistic based on the ranked-set sample is considered. We compared the asymptotic relative efficiencies of the RSS Wilcoxon signed rank test statistics with respect to the SRS Wilcoxon signed rank test statistic and the RSS sign test statistic. Throughout the ARE's the proposed test statistic is superior to the SRS Wilcoxxon signed rank test statistic and the RSS sign test statistic.

A survival variable is a nonnegative random variable X with distribution function F and a survival function (equation omitted)=1－F. This variable is said to be New Better than Used of specified age $t_{0}$ if (equation omitted) for all $\chi$$\geq$0 and a fixed to. We propose the test for $H_{0}$ : (equation omitted) for all $\chi$$\geq$0 against $H_1$：(equation omitted) for all $\chi$$\geq$0 when the specified age $t_{0}$ is unknown but can be estimated from the data when $t_{0}$=${\mu}$, the mean of F, and also when $t_{0}$=$\xi_p$, the pth percentile of F. This test statistic, which is based on a linear function of the order statistics from the sample, is readily applied in the case of small sample. Also, this test statistic is more simple than the test statistic of Ahmad's test statistic (1998). Finally, the performance of this test is presented.

In this paper a nonparametric test for the parallelism of k regression lines against ordered alternatives, when the independent variables are positive and all regression lines have a common intercept is proposed. The proposed test is based on a Jonckheere-type statistic applied to residuals. Under some conditions the proposed test statistic is asymptotically distribution-free. The small-sample powers of our test are compared with other tests by a Monte Carlo study. The simulation results show that the proposed test has significantly higher empirical powers than the other tests considered in this paper.

This paper proposes the two-sample comparison us-ing sign test based on ranked-set sample(RSS). We investigate the asymptotic properties of the proposed test statistic and compare the asymptotic relative efficiencies of the proposed test statistic with re-spect to Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test statistic based on RSS and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test statistic based on the simple random sample(SRS).

Testing normality is very important because the most common assumption is normality in statistical analysis. We propose a new plot and test statistic to goodness-of-fit test for normality based on the generalized Lorenz curve. We compare the new plot with the Q-Q plot. We also compare the new test statistic with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS), Cramer-von Mises (CVM), Anderson-Darling (AD), Shapiro-Francia (SF), and Shapiro-Wilks (W) test statistic in terms of the power of the test through by Monte Carlo method. As a result, new plot is clearly classified normality and non-normality than Q-Q plot; in addition, the new test statistic is more powerful than the other test statistics for asymmetrical distribution. We check the proposed test statistic and plot using Hodgkin's disease data.

In this paper, we consider the c-sample location problem for ordered alternatives using median ranked ordering-set samples(MROSS). We propose the test statistic using the median of samples that have the same ranked order in each cycle of ranted ordering-set sample(ROSS). We obtain the asymptotic property of the proposed test statistic and Pitman efficiency with respect to other test statistic. In simulation study, our proposed test statistic has good powers for some underlying distributions we consider.
