TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed the notions of minimax and maximin distance sets (designs) intended for use in the selection-of-sites problem when the underlying surface is modeled by a prior distribution and observations are made without error.

TL;DR: A brief review of modes of statistical inference for causal effects can be found in this paper for a volume honoring I.J. Good's extensive and creative contributions to statistics, which is a volume dedicated to his life and work.

TL;DR: “Applying the theory of personal probability naively one quickly comes to the conclusion that randomization is without value for statistics, but closer examination of the road to this untenable conclusion does lead to new insights into the role and limitations of randomization.

TL;DR: A simple hypothetical example from the field of reliability to illustrate a belief function measure of uncertainty, associated with a network based knowledge structure, effectively defines an artificial analyst capable of making uncertain judgements.

TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotic power of the two-sided one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (KS) is investigated and compared with the power of some other goodness of fit tests (EDF tests).

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized Pitman nearness criterion for comparing estimators when the criterion for accuracy is based on a loss function is developed, and the generalized criterion is then used with invariance to find best estimators of a location or scale parameter.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hazard rate of random vectors coming from a strictly stationary sequence satisfying any one of the four standard mixing modes of mixing is established under the assumption that the random vectors are uniformly distributed.

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence structure of the order statistics of a pair of rv's is reviewed and extended, and conditions for the covariance of two order statistics to be multivariate totally positive of order 2 (MTP2) are given.

TL;DR: In this article, conditions under which conditional probability distributions approach each other and approach certainty as available data increase were investigated, and the authors showed that the topology under which the set of distributions is compact plays an important part in determining the extent to which consensus can be achieved.

TL;DR: The use of ‘personal’ in my title indicates an extremal point on a spectrum the other end of which bears the label ‘universal’, where context is set by the knowledge, beliefs and purposes held in common by a defined specialist group.

TL;DR: In this article, the empirical distribution function used in the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is redefined in such a way that it becomes a function of a parameter called delta Monte Carlo simulations are conducted for small sample sizes (n≤25) in order to determine those values of delta that lead to improvements in power.

TL;DR: The Subset Complement Addition Upper Bound (SCAUB) as discussed by the authors is an extension of Hunter's improved Bonferroni bounds that produces upper bounds for probabilities of unions of n events given that probabilities of union and intersections of subsets including up to k events are known.

TL;DR: For a two-level experimental design with a given number, N = 2q, of runs and a specified resolution R, what is the maximum number, k, of factors that can be accomodated as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a smooth kernel estimator Rn(p) is proposed for nonparametric estimation of a population quantile ξp and its derivative ∂ξ p ∂p.

TL;DR: In this article, it is argued that such causes should guide much preformal thinking about what to include in formal statistical models, especially of dynamic phenomena, and that statistical measurement of causal effects is facilitated by good statistical design, including randomization where feasible.

TL;DR: In this paper, sufficient and necessary conditions for the asymptotic normality of L -statistics were derived for trimming fixed fractions, vanishing fractions and fixed numbers of observations.

TL;DR: New recursive formulas are obtained that directly give the isotonic regression without the use of any algorithm for a given function, defined on a finite set, with given weight function with respect to the simple ordering on the set.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the use of the notion of Ds-optimality for certain response surface designs, such as the central composite design, two variable equiradial design and the Box-Behnken design.

TL;DR: In this paper, the A-and D-optimal designs for n ≥ 3 (mod 4) were constructed by deleting s−4 specified rows of a Hadamard matrix of order N−3 and then augmenting it by s−1 specified rows for 5≤s≤8.

TL;DR: In this article, an extension of the exact tests for testing hypotheses concerning the variance components in an unbalanced random two-way model can be found for models that are unbalanced only with respect to the last stage of their associated designs.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for combining moment estimates of a parameter common through strata is developed, which derives new and known examples including the Mantel-Haenszel estimator.

TL;DR: In this article, the setting the clock back to zero invariance property of a family of life distributions was defined, which ensures that the conditional distribution of the additional time of survival of a living organism or an industrial item, given that it has survived x 0 units, remains in the family.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method of deriving explicit estimators by approximating the likelihood equations appropriately is presented, and approximate expressions for the variances and covariance of these estimators are derived.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider families of real valued random variables which form a stationary autoregressive process with infinite order and show that such models are locally asymptotically normal.

TL;DR: A design consistent regression estimator as mentioned in this paper provides the means for constructing a finite population parameter estimate that is conditionally unbiased under a model, yet resistant to model failure (i.e., design consistent).

TL;DR: In this paper, terraces and sequencing are used to construct two-dimensional neighbor designs in which row, column, and diagonal neighbors are accounted for, and columns are generated from terraces, then juxtaposed (with appropriate borders) in such a way that row and diagonal neighbours are balanced or nearly balanced.

TL;DR: In this article, the weak convergence of the r -th (( n − r )- th ) order statistics of n independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables (r.v.'s) X 1, X 2,…, X n, where the sample size n is a positive integer valued r.v.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the merits of various multipliers (convergence factors) employed in the Fourier synthesis of electron micrographs is made, and an estimate of the error of the improved image is constructed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an explicit algorithm for optimally finding a single defective in a contaminated set and use this to derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the pairwise testing algorithm to be the optimal nested algorithm.
