The comparison results indicate that the estimators developed here can be highly more efficient than their SRS counterpart in some certain circumstances.

We study the probability that one beta-distributed random variable exceeds the maximum of two others, allowing all three to have general parameters.

The results are applied to derive the moments of the maximum of two independent beta-distributed random variables and to find inner products of incomplete beta functions. Restricted to positive integer parameters, our results are applied to determine an expected exit time for a conditioned random walk and also to a combinatorial problem of enumerating strings comprised of three different letters, subject to constraints.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44289493","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}

It is, however, difficult to obtain reliable results using standard statistical inference when some responses are missing.

A Monte Carlo EM (MCEM)-based technique was adopted to deal with this situation. In addition to estimation, MCEM likelihood ratio tests (LRTs) are developed to test fixed effects in crossover models with missing data. Intensive simulation studies were conducted prior to analyzing gene expression data.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43356823","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 unified skew-scale mixture of normal (SUSMN) distributions are subsequently discussed as a special case. As a subclass of SUSMN distributions, the class of unified skew-symmetric generalized hyperbolic (SUSGH) distributions are studied in detail.

Although some attempts have been made to deal with Z-valued time series, these models do not provide enough flexibility in modeling some specific integers (e.g. 0, ±1). A symmetric Skellam INGARCH(1,1) model was proposed in the literature, but it only considered zero-mean processes, which limits its application. We first extend the symmetric Skellam INGARCH model to an asymmetric version, which can deal with non-zero-mean processes. Then we propose a modified Skellam model which adopts a careful treatment on integers 0 and ±1 to satisfy a special feature of the data. Our models are easy-to-use and flexible. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate unknown parameters and the log-likelihood ratio test statistic is provided for testing the asymmetric model against the modified one. Simulation studies are given to evaluate performances of the parametric estimation and log-likelihood ratio test. A real data example is also presented to demonstrate good performances of newly proposed models.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42589973","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 change point tool has been used in statistical models to detect when these changes occur. This paper presents a model based on a Bayesian approach that describes the behavior of extreme data regarding river quota, which may present more than one change point. In each one of the regimes, the GEV distribution is adjusted and each GEV parameter of each regime is written in function of presence of covariates. In the applications proposed here, the results showed that the model was able to accurately estimate the actual amount of change points in the series, and also showed that it was extremely important to consider them in the analysis, since it was verified that after the change of regime, the levels of return have changed considerably. The results were also able to show which months the occurrence of an extreme event is greater.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":"35 1","pages":"85-100"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45786525","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}

It is of great significance to quality control engineers as it quantifies the relation between the actual performance of the process and the pre-set specifications of the product. Most of the traditional PCIs performed well when process follows the normal behaviour. In this article, we consider a process capability index, $C_{pk}$, suggested by Kane (Journal of Quality Technology 18 (1986) 41–52) which can be used for normal random variables. The objective of this article is three fold: First, we address different methods of estimation of the process capability index $C_{pk}$ from frequentist approaches for the normal distribution. We briefly describe different frequentist approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimators, least squares and weighted least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators, Cramer–von-Mises estimators, Anderson–Darling estimators and Right-Tail Anderson–Darling estimators and compare them in terms of their mean squared errors using extensive numerical simulations. Second, we compare three parametric bootstrap confidence intervals (BCIs) namely, standard bootstrap, percentile bootstrap and bias-corrected percentile bootstrap. Third, we consider Bayesian estimation under squared error loss function using normal prior for location parameter and inverse gamma for scale parameter for the considered model. Monte Carlo simulation study has been carried out to compare the performances of the classical BCIs and highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals of $C_{pk}$ in terms of average widths and coverage probabilities. Finally, two real data sets have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.","PeriodicalId":51242,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41350479","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}
