چکیده

This presentation looks at two statistics that can be used in developing new tests of discordancy in circular samples from von Mises distribution. We derive the approximate distributions for both statistics. Consequently, an alternative test of discordancy is proposed based on the circular distance between sample points. The advantage of the test is that it allows users to detect any possible outliers in both univariate circular data and circular regression model for bivariate circular data. For illustration, the test is applied on two real circular data sets.

A New Discordancy Test in Circular Data Using Spacings Theory

In this paper, we propose a new test of discordancy based on spacing theory in circular data. The test should provide a good alternative to existing tests of discordancy for detecting single or wellseparated multiple outliers. On top of that, the new method can be generalized to identify a patch of outliers in data. The percentage points are calculated and the performance is examined. We first ...

Geographical Patterns of HIV Sero-Discordancy in High HIV Prevalence Countries in Sub-Saharan Africa

INTRODUCTION Variation in the proportion of individuals living in a stable HIV sero-discordant partnership (SDP), and the potential drivers of such variability across sub Saharan Africa (SSA), are still not well-understood. This study aimed to examine the spatial clustering of HIV sero-discordancy, and the impact of local variation in HIV prevalence on patterns of sero-discordancy in high HIV p...

Comparative Performance of Four Single Extreme Outlier Discordancy Tests from Monte Carlo Simulations

Using highly precise and accurate Monte Carlo simulations of 20,000,000 replications and 102 independent simulation experiments with extremely low simulation errors and total uncertainties, we evaluated the performance of four single outlier discordancy tests (Grubbs test N2, Dixon test N8, skewness test N14, and kurtosis test N15) for normal samples of sizes 5 to 20. Statistical contaminations...

PREDICTION OF SLOPE STABILITY STATE FOR CIRCULAR FAILURE: A HYBRID SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE WITH HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM

The slope stability analysis is routinely performed by engineers to estimate the stability of river training works, road embankments, embankment dams, excavations and retaining walls. This paper presents a new approach to build a model for the prediction of slope stability state. The support vector machine (SVM) is a new machine learning method based on statistical learning theory, which can so...

A HYBRID SUPPORT VECTOR REGRESSION WITH ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM IN ESTIMATION OF SAFETY FACTOR FOR CIRCULAR FAILURE SLOPE

Slope stability is one of the most complex and essential issues for civil and geotechnical engineers, mainly due to life and high economical losses resulting from these failures. In this paper, a new approach is presented for estimating the Safety Factor (SF) for circular failure slope using hybrid support vector regression (SVR) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The ACO is combined with the S...
