On Mann–Whitney tests for comparing sojourn time distributions when the transition times are right censored
We consider the problem of comparing sojourn time distributions of a transient state in a general multistate system in two samples (groups) when the transition times are right censored. Using the reweighting principle, a two-sample Mann– Whitney type of U -statistic is constructed that compares only the uncensored sojourn times from the two distributions. A second Mann–Whitney type of statistic...
متن کاملWhereof one cannot speak: When input distributions are unknown
One of the major criticisms of probabilistic risk assessment is that the requisite input distributions are often not available. Several approaches to this problem have been suggested, including creating a library of standard empirically fitted distributions, employing maximum entropy criteria to synthesize distributions from a priori constraints, and even using ‘default’ inputs such as the tria...
متن کاملRobust tests for testing the parameters of a normal population
This article aims to provide a simple robust method to test the parameters of a normal population by using the new diagnostic tool called the “Forward Search” (FS) method. The most commonly used procedures to test the mean and variance of a normal distribution are Student’s t test and Chi-square test, respectively. These tests suffer from the presence of outliers. We introduce the FS version of...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
متن کاملEstimation of Binomial Parameters when Both n , p are Unknown
We revisit the classic problem of estimation of the binomial parameters when both parameters n, p are unknown. We start with a series of results that illustrate the fundamental difficulties in the problem. Specifically, we establish lack of unbiased estimates for essentially any functions of just n or just p. We also quantify just how badly biased the sample maximum is as an estimator of n. The...
