In this paper, the gamma distribution has been extended by adding an extra shape parameter, we refer to the new distribution as alpha power gamma distribution. It is found that the distribution has a relatively flexible hazard rate function. The properties of the new distribution are studied, including explicit expressions for the $s^{\text{th}}$ raw moments, moment generating function and distributions of order statistics are derived. Also, the integral expressions for the entropy, mean residual life and mean waiting time are obtained. The maximum likelihood estimators of the distribution parameters under complete sample are discussed, the Fisher information matrix is derived. Then, the estimation of the parameters under the general progressive type-II censoring is studied. Finally, the real data set is used to illustrate the practicality of the proposed distribution.

Kullback-Leibler Information Consistent Estimation for Censored Data

This paper is intended as an investigation of parametric estimation for the randomly right censored data. In parametric estimation, the Kullback-Leibler information is used as a measure of the divergence of a true distribution generating a data relative to a distribution in an assumed parametric model M. When the data is uncensored, maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) is a consistent estimator of minimizing the Kullback-Leibler information, even if the assumed model M does not contain the true distribution. We call this property minimum Kullback-Leibler information consistency (MKLI-consistency). However, the MLE obtained by maximizing the likelihood function based on the censored data is not MKLI-consistent. As an alternative to the MLE, Oakes (1986, Biometrics, 42, 177–182) proposed an estimator termed approximate maximum likelihood estimator (AMLE) due to its computational advantage and potential for robustness. We show MKLI-consistency and asymptotic normality of the AMLE under the misspecification of the parametric model. In a simulation study, we investigate mean square errors of these two estimators and an estimator which is obtained by treating a jackknife corrected Kaplan-Meier integral as the log-likelihood. On the basis of the simulation results and the asymptotic results, we discuss comparison among these estimators. We also derive information criteria for the MLE and the AMLE under censorship, and which can be used not only for selecting models but also for selecting estimation procedures.     

Information amount and higher-order efficiency in estimation

By means of second-order asymptotic approximation, the paper clarifies the relationship between the Fisher information of first-order asymptotically efficient estimators and their decision-theoretic performance. It shows that if the estimators are modified so that they have the same asymptotic bias, the information amount can be connected with the risk based on convex loss functions in such a way that the greater information loss of an estimator implies its greater risk. The information loss of the maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be minimal in a general set-up. A multinomial model is used for illustration.     

Efficient Mean Estimation in Log-Normal Linear Models with First-Order Correlated Errors

In this paper, we propose a log-normal linear model whose errors are first-order correlated, and suggest a two-stage method for the efficient estimation of the conditional mean of the response variable at the original scale. We obtain two estimators which minimize the asymptotic mean squared error (MM) and the asymptotic bias (MB), respectively. Both the estimators are very easy to implement, and simulation studies show that they are perform better.     

Optimum ramp-stress accelerated life test for m identical repairable systems

This paper proposes optimum ramp accelerated life test (ALT) of m identical repairable systems using non-homogeneous power law process (PLP) under failure truncated case. An ALT with linearly increasing stress is a ramp test. In particular, a ramp test with two different linearly increasing stresses is a simple ramp test. The optimum ramp test with different stress rates is formulated by determining the proportions of test systems allocated to each stress rate using D-optimality criterion. D-optimality criterion minimizes the reciprocal of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix of the model parameters. The method developed is illustrated using two stress rates and three stress rates. It has been found that it takes much longer to obtain same estimated expected no. of failures at baseline condition than at stress levels.

知情交易者和不知情交易者的策略互动

本文利用EEOW模型结合高频交易数据,对中国股票市场上知情交易者和不知情交易者的交易策略互动进行了实证研究.研究发现:在中国股票市场上,不知情交易者的交易行为对知情交易者没有影响,但是知情交易者的交易行为却对不知情交易者有显著的影响.当预期到市场上有众多知情交易者时,不知情交易者就减少交易以降低与知情交易者发生交易的概率.这一点与传统模型中的噪声交易者假设是不一致的.本文的结论对于今后构建更加贴近实际情况的交易策略模型有很好的指导意义.     

On fixed-width confidence intervals associated with maximum likelihood estimation

A sequential procedure is proposed to determine the sample size for a fixed-width confidence interval for an unknown parameter with its maximum likelihood estimator as the center of the interval. It is established that the sequential procedure is asymptotically consistent and efficient.     

Inference for earthquake models: A self-correcting model

Questions of asymptotic inference are discussed for a point process model in which the conditional intensity function increases monotonically between events and drops by determined (nonrandom) amounts after each event. Parameter estimates are shown to be consistent and, except under the null hypothesis of a Poisson process, normally distributed. Under the null hypothesis, however, the Hessian matrix is not asymptotically constant, and the limiting distribution of the likelihood ratio statistics is not χ², but has a form related to that of the Cramer-von Mises ω² statistic for the test of goodness of fit.     

An optimum approach in target tracking with bearing measurements

We consider a two-state tracking problem with bearing measurements on a stationary target. The observer's speed is assumed constant and an optimum course is sought. An integral representing a lower bound for the Fisher information matrix is derived, and optimality of the observer's course is defined as maximizing the lower bound. The problem is solved within the framework of optimal control theory. A sufficiency theorem involving the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is invoked to determine the optimal course. It is shown that the optimal course is such that the observer proceeds at a fixed deviated angle and the optimal trajectory is a deviated pursuit curve.This work was supported by the Naval Underwater Systems Center, Newport, Rhode Island, under Contract No. N00140-85-VQ98.

线性混合模型中方差分量的估计与QR分解

在线性混合模型中, 极大似然估计是一种很重要的估计方法, 但是它常常需要通过迭代求解. 应用设计阵的QR分解, 可以把设计阵变换成上三角矩阵. 这样可以降低参与迭代运算的矩阵的阶数, 还可以减少参与运算的数据量, 从而提高运算的速度. 本文讨论了QR分解在EM算法中的应用, 并用模拟的方法验证了QR分解可以极大的提高运算的速度. 本文同时讨论了QR分解在另外一种估计方法, 即ANOVA估计中的应用.

为了提高指数分布产品可靠度的估计效率,研究了基于排序集抽样方法的极大似然估计量(Maximum likelihood estimator,MLE),证明了新MLE具有存在性、唯一性和渐近正态性,并通过排序集样本的Fisher信息得到MLE的渐近方差。针对似然方程没有显式解的问题,利用部分期望法对MLE进行修正,并给出其具体表达式。渐近相对效率和模拟相对效率的研究结果表明:排序集抽样下MLE和修正MLE的估计效率都一致高于简单随机抽样下MLE。最后,将推荐方法应用到转移性肾癌的临床研究中。
