Based on an approximation to a transformed gamma density function by the standard normal density, numerical information for the standard normal density is prepared in advance, and the calculation is performed with reference to that information. An improvement via a squeezing method is proposed to reduce the computational burden and time. The algorithm's acceptance rate for generating truncated gamma variables is very high and almost 1 when the truncated distribution is unimodal. Numerical experiments for one- and two-sided truncated domain cases are conducted to measure the execution time, including the parameter setup time. Compared with existing truncated gamma variate generators, the proposed method performs better when the distribution is unimodal and the shape parameter is equal to or greater than 3.3.Keywords: Acceptance-rejection algorithmshape parametersqueezingtruncated gamma distributionMathematics Subject Classifications: 65C0565C1062-08 Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis research was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Numbers JP19H00588 and JP20K19751.","PeriodicalId":50040,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135480026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multicomponent stress–strength reliability parameter is obtained using both the Bayesian and the classical approaches when component-wise each unit follows a power Lindley distribution. To estimate the multicomponent stress–strength reliability parameter under the classical approach, the method of maximum likelihood and the asymptotic confidence interval estimation method are used as point and interval estimation methods, respectively. Under the Bayesian paradigm, the reliability parameter is estimated under the linear exponential loss function using the Lindley approximation, the Tierney–Kadane approximation and the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques and subsequently highest posterior density credible intervals are obtained. To validate the efficacy of the proposed estimation strategies, a simulation study is carried out. Finally, two real-life data sets are re-analysed for illustrative purposes.KEYWORDS: Power Lindley distributionprogressive censoringmulticomponent stress–strength reliabilitymaximum likelihood estimationBayesian estimation AcknowledgementsThe authors are grateful to the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editor and the learned reviewers for their insightful and constructive comments that led to possible improvements in the earlier version of this article.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":50040,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation","volume":"299 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135475070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we propose two types of regularized robust estimation methods. The first estimator adopts the ideas of reproducing kernel Hilbert space, least absolute deviation and group Lasso techniques. Based on the first method, the second estimator applies the pre-whitening technique and estimates the error covariance function by using functional principal component analysis. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the performance of the proposed methods in small sample sizes. The method is also applied to the Canadian weather data set, which consists of the daily average temperature and precipitation observed by 35 meteorological stations across Canada from 1960 to 1994.

For over-dispersed data fitting to the generalized linear models, we describe the simultaneous inference method in assessing a sequence of estimable functions based on the root using the quasi-likelihood estimation of the regression coefficients. A new method for deriving the limiting distributions of the score function and the root under a list of mild regularity conditions is presented. This approach has a close connection to the asymptotic normality of the root in general linear models that it provides a heuristic analogy for classroom presentation. Hence, researchers can routinely estimate quantiles based on the limiting distribution of the root for simultaneous inference. We apply the percentile bootstrap method to estimate the quantiles as a resampling-based alternative. As will be shown, the simultaneous test based on both the approximation methods above is anti-conservative in designs with small sample sizes. We propose the simultaneous testing method using Efron's bias-corrected percentile bootstrapping procedure as an improvement. In small-sample designs, we demonstrate through the simulation study that the proposed method provides a viable alternative to the large-sample and the percentile bootstrap approximation methods. Moreover, the proposed method persists in controlling the familywise error rate in simultaneous testing for highly over-dispersed data from substantially small-sample designs, where the percentile-t bootstrap method provides a liberal test.Keywords: Simultaneous inferencequasi-likelihood functionspercentile bootstrapbias-corrected percentile bootstraprobustness of validityover-dispersion AcknowledgmentsThe author would like to thank two anonymous referees for providing insightful comments, which have helped the author improve the article.

It assumes that the same frailty is shared by all individual members within the families. Also, it is believed that all the individuals in the population are susceptible to the event of interest and will eventually experience the event. This may not always be the situation in reality. There may be a certain fraction of the population which is non-susceptible for an event and hence may not experience the event under study. Non-susceptibility is modelled by frailty models with compound frailty distribution. Further, susceptibility may be different for different families. This can be attained by randomizing the parameter of frailty distribution. This paper incorporates both the things, non-susceptibility and different susceptibility for different families by considering compound negative binomial distribution with random probability of susceptibility as frailty distribution. The inferential problem is solved in a Bayesian framework using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. The proposed model is then applied to a real-life data set.Keywords: Bayesian estimationbeta distributioncompound negative binomial distributionshared frailtygeneralized exponential distributionMCMC algorithm AcknowledgmentsThe author is thankful to the Editor and the Referees for their comments and suggestions for improvements.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).FundingAuthor hasn't received any grant for research.","PeriodicalId":50040,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation","volume":"54 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135868188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
