In survival studies, current status data are frequently encountered when some individuals in a study are not successively observed. This paper considers the problem of simultaneous variable selection and parameter estimation in the high-dimensional continuous generalized linear model with...

Time trend resistant fractional factorial experiments have often been based on regular fractionated designs where several algorithms exist for sequencing their runs in minimum number of factor-level changes (i.e. minimum cost) such that main effects and/or two-factor interactions are orthogonal...

Motivated from extreme value (EV) analysis for large non-metallic inclusions in engineering steels and a real data set, the benefit of choosing a multivariate EV approach is discussed. An extensive simulation study shows that the common univariate setup may lead to a high proportion of...

In life-testing and survival analysis, sometimes the components are arranged in series or parallel system and the number of components is initially unknown. Thus, the number of components, say <italic>Z</italic>, is considered as random with an appropriate probability mass function. In this paper, we model the...

Five sampling schemes (SS) for price index construction - one cut-off sampling technique and four probability-proportional-to-size (<italic>pps</italic>) methods - are evaluated by comparing their performance on a homescan market research data set across 21 months for each of the 13 classification of individual...

In this paper we address the evaluation of measurement process quality. We mainly focus on the evaluation procedure, as far as it is based on the numerical outcomes for the measurement of a single physical quantity. We challenge the approach where the 'exact' value of the observed quantity is...

The Shewhart <italic>R</italic> control chart and <italic>s</italic> control chart are widely used to monitor shifts in the process spread. One fact is that the distributions of the range and sample standard deviation are highly skewed. Therefore, the <italic>R</italic> chart and <italic>s</italic> chart neither provide an in-control average run length (ARL) of...

Probability plots allow us to determine whether a set of sample observations is distributed according to a theoretical distribution. Plotting positions are fundamental elements in statistics and, in particular, for the construction of probability plots. In this paper, a new plotting position to...

Nowadays, sensory properties of materials are subject to growing attention both in an hedonic point of view and in an utilitarian one. Hence, the formulation of the foundations of an instrumental metrological approach that will allow for the characterization of visual similarities between...

Modern technologies are frequently used in order to deal with new genomic problems. For instance, the <monospace>STRUCTURE</monospace> software is usually employed for breed assignment based on genetic information. However, standard statistical techniques offer a number of valuable tools which can be successfully used...
