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 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 ...
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 ...
