We study the problem of independence and conditional independence tests between categorical covariates and a continuous response variable, which has an immediate application in genetics. Instead of estimating the conditional distribution of the response given values of covariates, we model the conditional distribution of covariates given the discretized response (aka “slices”). By assigning a p...

This paper provides the practitioner with a method of ascertaining when the concentration parameter in a simultaneous equations model is small. We provide some exact distribution theory for a proposed statistic and show that the statistic possesses the minimal desirable characteristics of a test statistic when used to test that the concentration parameter is zero. The discussion is then extende...

computing or determining the amount of maximum flood debit in watershed is one of the main important parts of hydrological research in river improvement. in this regard it is necessary to be distinguished peak of flood flow and its hydrograph for favorable return period. this needs to have long time statistic and leminograph tools in study research area. in this study with the comparison of ava...

MOTIVATION The parametric F-test has been widely used in the analysis of factorial microarray experiments to assess treatment effects. However, the normality assumption is often untenable for microarray experiments with small replications. Therefore, permutation-based methods are called for help to assess the statistical significance. The distribution of the F-statistics across all the genes on...

Adequate separation of effects of possible multiple linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on mapping QTLs is the key to increasing the precision of QTL mapping. A new method of QTL mapping is proposed and analyzed in this paper by combining interval mapping with multiple regression. The basis of the proposed method is an interval test in which the test statistic on a marker interval is made to ...

This paper sums up the applications of statistic models such as ARCH-family models, cointegration theory and Granger causality etc in oil price time series analysis and introduces the method of data mining combined with statistic knowledge to analysis oil price time series. In addition, the paper also explains advantages, functions, relevant technologies of this method and its potential applica...
