2. 1. Methods for interval-censored data and testing for stochastic dominance

   Author : Angel G. Angelov; Magnus Ekström; Maria Karlsson; Bengt Kriström; Per Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interval-censored data; Informative censoring; Self-selected intervals; Questionnaire-based studies; Maximum likelihood; Permutation test; Two-sample test; Stochastic dominance; Four-decision test; Statistics; statistik;

   Abstract : This thesis includes four papers: the first three of them are concerned with methods for interval-censored data, while the forth paper is devoted to testing for stochastic dominance.In many studies, the variable of interest is observed to lie within an interval instead of being observed exactly, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. Contributions to generalized Wilcoxon rank tests

   Author : Marie-Louise Öhman; Hans Nyquist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Censored data rank sum tests; Gehan s test; Generalized Wilcoxon test; Jackknifing; Two sample problem; Simulation; Survival data; Variance estimation; Influence function; Gross error sensitivity; Sensitivity curve; Misclassification; Statistics; computer and systems science; Statistik; data- och systemvetenskap; Statistics; statistik;

   Abstract : In unbalanced small sample size problems with right censorings, the variance estmators of linear rank statistics, may be biased. This is the case with the commonly applied variance estimators for the generalized Wilcoxon rank test statistics of Gehan and Prentice. READ MORE

5. 3. Nonparametric Statistical Inference for Entropy-type Functionals

   Author : David Källberg; Oleg Seleznjev; Timo Koski; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; entropy estimation; Rényi entropy; divergence estimation; quadratic density functional; U-statistics; consistency; asymptotic normality; Poisson convergence; stationary m-dependent sequence; inter-point distances; entropy maximizing distribution; two-sample problem; approximate matching; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we study statistical inference for entropy, divergence, and related functionals of one or two probability distributions. Asymptotic properties of particular nonparametric estimators of such functionals are investigated. We consider estimation from both independent and dependent observations. READ MORE

6. 4. Aspects of analysis of small-sample right censored data using generalized Wilcoxon rank tests

   Author : Marie-Louise Öhman; Hans Nyquist; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Censored generalized Wilcoxon rank test statistics; Variance estimation; Jackknifing; Influence function; Gross error sensitivity; Break-Down point; Sensitivity curve; Location parameter estimation; Product-Limit estimator and Monte-Carlo Simulation; Statistics; computer and systems science; Statistik; data- och systemvetenskap; Statistics; statistik;

   Abstract : The estimated bias and variance of commonly applied and jackknife variance estimators and observed significance level and power of standardised generalized Wilcoxon linear rank sum test statistics and tests, respectively, of Gehan and Prentice are compared in a Monte Carlo simulation study. The variance estimators are the permutational-, the conditional permutational- and the jackknife variance estimators of the test statistic of Gehan, and the asymptotic- and the jackknife variance estimators of the test statistic of Prentice.

7. 5. On Confidence Intervals and Two-Sided Hypothesis Testing

   Author : Måns Thulin; Silvelyn Zwanzig; Burkhardt Seifert; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Statistics; Matematisk statistik;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of a summary and six papers, dealing with confidence intervals and two-sided tests of point-null hypotheses.In Paper I, we study Bayesian point-null hypothesis tests based on credible sets. A decision-theoretic justification for tests based on central credible intervals is presented. READ MORE
