A Study of Robustness of Preliminary Tests in Conditionally Specified Regression Models
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1983-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The selection of variables in regression analysis is usually done by using
preliminary tests. When it is doubtful whether the regression coefficients of a set of ...
Estimating Transition Probabilities from Aggregate Samples Augmented by Haphazard Recaptures
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1995)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Transition probabilities provide a convenient summary of changes in a categorical trait over time in a population. The difficulties of estimating such probabilities ...
Interval Estimation of the Noncentrality Parameter of A Gamma Distribution
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1984-09)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Asymptotic confidence interval for the noncentrality parameter of a Gamma distribution (or Chi-squared distribution) is derived. An algorithm for
computing the ...
A Further Look at the Comparison of Normal Percentile Estimators
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1978-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: For the purpose of making a pairwise comparison of point estimators of normal percentiles, a twofold technique is introduced which basically examines ,(a) the "odds" ...
On the Relative Behavior of Point Estimators Based on a Decomposition of Mean Absolute Error
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1978-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Let [see pdf for notation] be a family of probability density functions indexed by the parameter [see pdf for notation]. We assume at least one of the
[see pdf for ...
On the Relative Behavior Of Estimators of Reliability/Survivability
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1978-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Based on a decomposition of mean absolute error, a twofold technique is introduced whereby a pairwise comparison of point estimators of reliability/survivability ...
Tennis, Geometric Progression, Probability and Basketball
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1999-03)
The following problem about a tennis match is well—known. See Halmos [1, 2]. Consider 2n tennis players playing a single elimination match. Ask the question: what are the number of games played? The answer can be obtained ...
