While performing statistical tests [7] the first question is which statistical test, parametric or non-parametric, is suitable. It is well known that parametric tests have much more power (probability that a statistical test will correctly reject a false null hypothesis, or a probability of avoiding a Type II error) than a non-parametric test. Hence, we should use parametric tests whenever allo...

We explore in depth the validity of a recently proposed scaling law for earthquake interevent time distributions in the case of the Southern California, using the waveform cross-correlation catalog of Shearer et al. Two statistical tests are used: on the one hand, the standard two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is in agreement with the scaling of the distributions. On the other hand, the one-sa...

A theory of matrix-valued functions from the matricial Smirnov class Nn (D) is systematically developed. In particular, the maximum principle of V.I.Smirnov, inner-outer factorization, the Smirnov-Beurling characterization of outer functions and an analogue of Frostman’s theorem are presented for matrix-valued functions from the Smirnov class Nn (D). We also consider a family Fλ = F − λI of fun...

Résumé. Le critère de découpage binaire de Kolmogorov-Smirnov nécessite un ordre total des valeurs prises par les variables explicatives. Nous pouvons ordonner des intervalles fermés bornés de nombres réels de différentes façons. Notre contribution dans cet article consiste à évaluer et à comparer des arbres de décision obtenus sur des données de type intervalle à l’aide du critère de découpage...

In this paper, we analyzed the streamflow droughts based on the Percent of Normal Index (PNI) and clustering approaches in the Kurdistan Province, Iran, over the 1981-2010. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was considered for streamflow time series and the results of K-S test indicated that streamflow time series did follow the normal distribution at the 0.05 significance level. Generally, the ...

This paper provides test procedures to determine whether the probability distribution underlying a set of non-negative valued samples belongs to the Increasing Failure Rate Average (IFRA) class or the New Better than Used (NBU) class. Membership of a distribution to one of these classes is known to have implications which are important in reliability, queuing theory, game theory and other disci...
