In this article we develop a power computation code in the R language which provides an easy to use tool to researchers in designing Shewhart control charts. It enables researchers to use different existing and newly introduced sensitizing rules and runs rules schemes designed for Shewhart-type...

In this paper, we propose a generalized version of Adachi’s (Psychometrika 74:667–683, <CitationRef CitationID="CR1">2009</CitationRef>) Joint Procrustes Analysis (GJPA), in order to transform the principal component score and loading matrices obtained for multiple data sets of the same size. The transformation is made so that...</citationref>

In recent years, adaptive Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have become a standard tool for Bayesian parameter estimation. In adaptive MCMC, the past iterations are used to tune the proposal distribution of the algorithm. The same adaptation mechanisms can be used in Simulated Annealing...

Taking into account that the BDS test—which is used as a misspecification test applied to standardized residuals from the GARCH(1,1) model—is characterized by size distortion and departure from normality in finite samples, this paper obtains the critical values for the finite sample...

In this paper, we consider the prediction problem in two-sample case and study the non-parametric predicting future progressively Type-II censored order statistics based on observed <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k$$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mi>k</mi> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-records from the same distribution. Also, prediction intervals for progressively Type-II censored...</equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation>

Soltani and Shirvani (Comput Stat 25:155–161, <CitationRef CitationID="CR5">2010</CitationRef>) provided a characterization and a simulation method for truncated stable random variables when the characteristic exponent <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\alpha \ne 1 $$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, and left the case <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\alpha =1$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> open. The case of <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\alpha =1$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> is treated in this article....</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></citationref>

This paper discusses a recent development in partial least squares (PLS) path modeling, namely goodness-of-fit indices. In order to illustrate the behavior of the goodness-of-fit index (GoF) and the relative goodness-of-fit index (GoF<Subscript>rel</Subscript>), we estimate PLS path models with simulated data, and...</subscript>

This article studies the robustness of confidence interval construction for the intraclass kappa statistic based on a dichotomous response when the assumption of marginal homogeneity across two raters is violated. Two methods of construction are considered: the goodness-of-fit approach and the...

In this paper a comparison of two concepts of neighbourhoods of spatial areas—physical and socio-economical—is presented. The former usually concerns their location on an administrative map and a possible community of borders, the latter—a similarity in terms of a composite social or...

Nonparametric copula models are based on observations whose distributions are generally unknown. Estimation of these copula models is based on pseudo-observations consisting of the ranked data. To determine distributional properties (e.g., the variance) of the models and their estimators,...
