Diagnostic tests for the distribution of random effects in multivariate mixed effects model
Meintanis, Simos G.; Allison, James S.; Santana, Leonard (Taylor & Francis, 2016)Fourier methods are proposed for testing the distribution of random effects in classical and robust multivariate mixed effects models. The test statistics involve estimation of the characteristic function of random effects. ... -
Modified tests for exponentiality in the presence of Type II right censored data
Cockeran, Marike; Santana, Leonard; Allison, James S. (Wiley, 2019)The exponential distribution is one of the most popular choices of model, especially in survival analysis and reliability theory. Typically, to test the hypothesis that the underlying distribution of lifetimes are exponentially ... -
Two new data-dependent choices of m when applying the m-out-of-n bootstrap to hypothesis testing
Allison, James S.; Santana, Leonard; Swanepoel, Jan W.H. (Taylor & Francis, 2011)The traditional non-parametric bootstrap (referred to as the n-out-of-n bootstrap) is a widely applicable and powerful tool for statistical inference, but in important situations it can fail. It is well known that by using ...
