For estimating the distribution functionF of a population, the empirical or sample distribution functionF

has been studied extensively. Qin and Lawless (1994) have proposed an alternative estimator
for estimatingF in the presence of auxiliary information under a semiparametric model. They have also proved the point-wise asymptotic normality
of
. In this paper, we establish the weak convergence of
to a Gaussian process and show that the asymptotic variance function of
is uniformly smaller than that ofF

Let T(
) be a linear function of concomitants of order statistics, whereT (·) denotes a statistical functional depending on some distribution function (df)F and
is an estimator ofF. Under an auxiliary model approach we consider statistics of the form
, where
denotes a weighted empirical df and
a finite population df (t denotes a triangular array). The results can be used to estimate income inequality in finite populations and especially when
the survey is based on some design.

Even the finite sample null distribution of the proposed test criterion is independent of unknown (,), and the asymptotic null distribution is normal, as well as the distribution under local (contiguous) alternatives. The proposed tests are consistent against a general class of (nonparametric) alternatives, including the case of F having heavier (or lighter) tails than F
0. A simulation study illustrates a good performance of the tests.

We consider the sample survey type problem of estimating the proportionp of a finite population of sizeN having a given attribute by the proportion
of successes in a random sample (with or without replacement) of sizer from the population. Our main result indicates that
is always at least a 91.0% confidence interval (C.I.) for the parameterp. We show that
is at least as large under the hypergeometric model of simple random sampling without replacement as it is under the corresponding
binomial model of random sampling with replacement. The significance of our main result is that it is a good, easily stated
accuracy rule, holding for allr, N, andp, which can easily be understood by the layman when assessing accuracy of the estimator
and discussing the relationship between accuracy and sample size. 相似文献

The exact density of the statistic ln
, where
and
denote, respectively, the arithmetic and the geometric means of a random sample from a two-parameter gamma distribution,
is obtained in a computable form using the technique of the inverse Mellin transform. This statistic is related to the maximum

A proof is offered for the best possible version of the following Gauss type characterization of normality: LetF () be a family of distribution functions with translation parameter such thatF (0) has a densityf with certain regularity properties, and letM{1, 2, ...}. If the mean of every sample of any sizemM is a maximum likelihood estimate of , thenF (0) is normal with zero expectation. While in the best prior version of this theorem,f satisfies a continuity assumption andM={2, 3}, here no regularity condition is needed, andM can be any of the sets {3}, {4}, .... 相似文献

The run length distribution of
charts with unknown process variance is analized using numerical integration. Both traditional
chart limits and a method due to Hillier are considered. It is shown that setting control limits based on the pooled standard
deviation, as opposed to the average sample standard deviation, provides better run length performance due to its smaller
mean square error. The effect of an unknown process variance is shown to increase the area under both tails of the run length
distribution. If Hillier’s method is used instead, only the right tail of the run length distribution is increased. Collani’s
model for the economic design of
charts is extended to the case of unknown process variance by writing his standardized objective function in terms of average
run lengths. 相似文献

Summary LetE denote the generating function of a non-degenerate probability distribution on the positive integers, letF be a non-degenerate distribution function, and let be a real valued function on the interval (0, 1]. In the present paper the solutions (E, F, ) of the functional equationE(F(x)/E()=F(x+()), –<x<+, (0, 1] are given. It is shown that ifF is symmetric about zero,E andF belong to a solution of the functional equation if and only ifF is a logistic distribution andE is the generating function of a geometric distribution. 相似文献

The problem of simultaneous estimation of the mean and variance of a normal distribution has been studied. We propose a semi-circular region
n
={(a,b)':b>0} of radiusd, which has approximately a preassigned coverage probability. Asymptotic efficiency and asymptotic consistency (asd0) of our proposed sequential procedures have been proved.Research partially supported by U.S. Army Research Grant No. DAAG29-76-G-0038. 相似文献

This paper deals with the estimation of survivor function
using optimally selected order statistics when the sample sizen is large. We use the estimates (μ*,σ*) based on the optimum set of order statistics
for largen and fixedk (≤n) such that the estimate
has optimum variance property. The asymptotic relative efficiency of such an estimator is compared with the one based on
the complete sample. The general theory of the problem and specific details with respect to a two-parameter Normal, Logistic,
Exponential and Pareto distributions is considered as an example. 相似文献

Let ζ
t
be the number of events which will be observed in the time interval [0;t] and define
as the average number of events per time unit if this limit exists. In the case of i.i.d. waiting-times between the events,E[ζ
t
] is the renewal function and it follows from well-known results of renewal theory thatA exists and is equal to 1/τ, if τ>0 is the expectation of the waiting-times.
This holds true also when τ = ∞.A may be estimate by ζ

. Both estimators converage with probability 1 to 1/τ if theX
i are i.i.d.; but the expectation of

is in general a positively biased estimator ofA. For a stationary renewal process, ζ

t
/t has this property only iff(x) is of the exponential type and only for this type the numbers of events in consecutive time intervals [0,t], [t, 2t], ... are i.i.d. random variables for arbitraryt > 0. 相似文献

Let X (r, n, m, k), 1 r n, denote generalized order statistics based on an absolutely continuous distribution function F. We characterize all distribution functions F for which the following linearity of regression holds
E(X(r+l,n,m,k) | X(r,n,m,k))=aX(r,n,m,k)+b.We show that only exponential, Pareto and power distributions satisfy this equation. Using this result one can obtain characterizations of exponential, Pareto and power distributions in terms of sequential order statistics, Pfeifers records and progressive type II censored order statistics.
