In this article, we partially solve a conjecture by Kochar and Korwar (1996) [9] in relation to the normalized spacings of the order statistics of a sample of independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. In the case of a sample of size n=3, they proved the ordering...

This paper studies how to identify influential observations in the functional linear model in which the predictor is functional and the response is scalar. Measurement of the effects of a single observation on estimation and prediction when the model is estimated by the principal components...
