چکیده

We introduce estimation and test procedures through divergence optimization for discrete or continuous parametric models. This approach is based on a new dual representation for divergences. We treat point estimation and tests for simple and composite hypotheses, extending maximum likelihood technique. An other view at the maximum likelihood approach, for estimation and test, is given. We prove existence and consistency of the proposed estimates. The limit laws of the estimates and test statistics (including the generalized likelihood ratio one) are given both under the null and the alternative hypotheses, and approximation of the power functions is deduced. A solution to the irregularity problem of the generalized likelihood ratio test, of the number of components in a mixture, is given, and a new test, based on χ-divergence on signed finite measures and duality technique, is proposed.

Estimation and tests of independence in copula models via divergences

We introduce new estimates and tests of independence in copula models with unknown margins using φ-divergences and the duality technique. The asymptotic laws of the estimates and the test statistics are established both when the parameter is an interior point or not.

Validation of drop plate technique for bacterial enumeration by parametric and nonparametric tests

Drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. The objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. For bacterial enumeration...

12 Effect of Bank Privitization on liquidity of the Iranian Banking System

Privatization means assigning the ownership and management of the state firms to the private sector. Following this, it is expected that the efficiency of firms will increase, and so the firms gain more benefits. In the present paper, the performance of the state, private and privatized banks have been compared through studying the effects of privatization on the performance of banking system i...
