A Survey of Certain K-Sample Test Procedures with Applications to LPR-5 Data
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1979-07)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When dealing with k independent samples, it is frequently of interest to jointly assess the underlying population distributions. Usually such an
assessment is ...
Structural Inference on Reliability in a Lognormal Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1975-12)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The theory of structural inference, as developed by Fraser (1968), is based on a group-theoretic approach using invariant Haar measures to
Fisher's fiducial theory. ...
On the Discrimination Between the Lognormal and the Weibull Distributions With Applications to Offshore Oil/Gas Lease Bids
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1980-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The competitive sealed bids on an individual offshore oil and gas lease are often assumed to follow a lognormal distribution (Brown, 1969). However, under the ...
The Convolution of Generialized-F Distributions
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1981-01)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The generalized-F variate is the ratio of two independent gamma
variates, and its distribution includes as special cases such
distributions as the inverted beta, ...
Offshore Oil/Gas Lease Bidding and the Weibull Distributions
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1980-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: It is the purpose of this paper to study the use of the Weibull distribution as an acceptable model for the distribution of the bids on a lease. A multi-sample test ...
On the Comparison of Estimators in a Rectangular Distribution
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1979-01)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Given two estimators ^1 and ^2 of an unknown parameter ^, Pitman (1937) has suggested calling ^1 a "closer" estimator of ^ than is ^2 if [see pdf for notations] for ...
A Monte Carlo Power Study of k-Sample Tests for Exponentiality
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1979-12)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Suppose one has a collection of k independent samples where the ith sample size is [see pdf for notation]. Let [see pdf for notation] denote the
ordered observations ...
Efficiency Contours for Estimators of Reliability in a 2-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When there are available several point estimators of some parametric function, it would seem desirable to make a comparison among the estimators based on some measure ...
Efficiency in Estimation of Mean Time to Failure in a Two-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When comparing two point estimators of some parametric function,
Pitman-closeness efficiency gives the "odds" in favor of one of
the estimators being closer to ...
Estimation of the Guarantee Time in a Two-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-01)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: There are available several classical point estimators of the guarantee time (location parameter) in a two-parameter exponential failure model. For the purpose of ...
