We present an updated analysis of the solar neutrino problem in terms of both Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) and vacuum neutrino oscillations , with the inclusion of the preliminary data collected by the Su-perKamiokande experiment during 306.3 days of operation. In particular, the observed energy spectrum of the recoil electrons from 8 B neutrino scattering is discussed in detail and is us...

We give a characterization of the ranges of real Smirnov functions. In addition, we discuss the valence of such functions.

PURPOSE We evaluated the use of logistic regression to model the probabilities of spontaneously reported vaccine-event pairs being adverse reactions following immunization (ARFI), using disproportionality and unexpectedness of time-to-onset (TTO) distributions as predictive variables and the presence of events in the global product information as a dependent variable. METHODS We used spontane...

BACKGROUND Measurement of first and second metatarsal and toe protrusion is frequently used to explain foot problems using x-rays, osteological measurements or palpation-based tests. Length differences could be related to the appearance of problems in the foot. A test-retest design was conducted in order to establish the intra-rater reliability of three palpation-based tests. METHODS 202 feet...

Abstract: This paper deals with nonparametric inference for second order stochastic dominance of two random variables. If their distribution functions are unknown they have to be inferred from observed realizations. Thus, any results on stochastic dominance are in uenced by sampling errors. We establish two methods to take the sampling error into account. The rst one is based on the asymptotic ...

This paper proposes a new class of characteristic-function-based distribution tests for two-sample comparison, simple hypotheses, and conditional distribution assumptions of econometric models. The proposed tests are easy to compute and have χ2(2) as the asymptotic null distribution. Comparing to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) and Cramérvon Mises (CV) tests, the proposed test can flexibly account ...

This study aims to describe the STEM approach improve student learning outcomes in Voltaic Cell which was carried out form of action research. The research subjects were 27 students class XII MIPA SMAN 2 Takengon, Central Aceh. data obtained from competency test at end each cycle. Study result analyzed using statistical tests (data normality test, Kolmogorov Smirnov), and comparative tests. res...

This paper deals with the problem of goodness-of-fit tests (GFTs) for weighted generalized quasi-Lindley distribution (WGQLD) using ranked set sampling (RSS) and simple random (SRS) techniques. The are based on empirical function sample entropy. These include Kullback–Leibler, Kolomogorov–Smirnov, Anderson–Darling, Cramér–von Mises, Zhang, Liao, Shimokawa, Watson tests. critical values (CV) pow...

Tests based on the quantile regression process can be formulated like the classical Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Cr amer-von-Mises tests of goodness-oft employing the theory of Bessel processes as in ?. However, it is frequently desirable to formulate hypotheses involving unknown nuisance parameters, thereby jeopardizing the distribution free character of these tests. We characterize this situation a...
