Algunos biomarcadores pueden proporcionar mejor informacion que otros y en muchos casos, mas de uno puede ser necesario. Cuando se utilizan varios biomarcadores para hacer clasificacion, se presenta dependencia entre ellos. En este trabajo se estima el area bajo la curva caracteristica de operacion (ABCOR) para establecer la capacidad clasificadora de dos biomarcadores en un procedimiento para diagnostico clinico. Se estudia mediante copulas (FGM y Gumbel-Barnett) la dependencia entre pruebas y se estima la respectiva area bajo la curva, asumiendo tres niveles para cada estructura de dependencia. En la literatura revisada los autores asumen un modelo normal para representar el comportamiento de los biomarcadores utilizados para el diagnostico clinico. Hay situaciones en las que no es posible asumir este modelo porque no es adecuado para uno o ambos biomarcadores. El metodo estadistico propuesto no depende de un supuesto distribucional para los biomarcadores utilizados en el procedimiento de diagnostico y tampoco es necesario considerar una dependencia lineal fuerte o moderada entre ellos.","PeriodicalId":54477,"journal":{"name":"Revista Colombiana De Estadistica","volume":"29 1","pages":"315-344"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91194431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Un metodo es propuesto para encontrar los valores de los hiperparametros de una distribucion a priori no conjugada. Los siguientes escenarios son considerados para ensayos Bernoulli: cuatro distribuciones a priori (Beta, Kumaraswamy, Gamma Truncada y Weibull Truncada) y cuatro escenarios para el proceso generador. Dos condiciones necesarias, pero no suficientes fueron identificadas para asegurar la existencia de un vector de valores para los hiperparametros. La distribucion a priori Weibull Truncada fue la que peor desempeno presento.

In addition, non-linearity and the relationship with other time series are prominent behaviors of several, of such series. In this paper, we consider the modeling of multiplicative seasonal threshold autoregressive processes with exogenous input (TSARX), which explicitly and simultaneously incorporate multiplicative seasonality and threshold nonlinearity. Seasonality is modeled to be stochastic and regime dependent. The proposed model is a special case of a threshold autoregressive process with exogenous input (TARX). We develop a procedure based on Bayesian methods to identify the model, estimate parameters, validate the model and calculate forecasts. In the identification stage of the model, we present a statistical test of regime dependent multiplicative seasonality. The proposed methodology is illustrated with a simulated example and applied to economic empirical data.","PeriodicalId":54477,"journal":{"name":"Revista Colombiana De Estadistica","volume":"26 1","pages":"251-284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81679804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The same anomalies are addressed in thepresent corrigendum. The outcome of the corrigendum will provide basic guidelines for the academia and reviewers of various journals to match thenumerical results with the shape of the probability distribution under study. The results will also emphasize the fact that code writing is a cumbersome process and due diligence be exercised in executing the codes using any programming language.

We establish a local asymptotic normality property– with respect to intercept μ, regression coefficient β, the scale parameter σ of the error, and the parameter b of panel superdiagonal bilinear model (which is the parameter of interest)– for a given density f1 of the error terms. Rank-based versions of optimal parametric tests are provided. This result, which allows, by Hajek’s representation theorem, the construction of locally asymptotically optimal rank-based tests for the null hypothesis b = 0 (absence of panel superdiagonal bilinear model). These tests –at specified innovation densities f1– are optimal (most stringent), but remain valid under any actual underlying density. From contiguity, we obtain the limiting distribution of our test statistics under the null and local sequences of alternatives. The asymptotic relative efficiencies, with respect to the pseudo-Gaussian parametric tests, are derived. A Monte Carlo study confirms the good performance of the proposed tests.","PeriodicalId":54477,"journal":{"name":"Revista Colombiana De Estadistica","volume":"153 7 1","pages":"143-171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83130198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
