A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density of the lifetimes and its estimator is the integrated square error (ISE) and Hellinger distance (HD). In this paper, we focus on the right-censored ...

The problem of testing for the parametric form of the conditional variance is considered in a fully nonparametric regression model. A test statistic based on a weighted L2-distance between the empirical ...

Auxiliary information x is commonly used in survey sampling at the estimation stage. We propose an estimator of the finite population distribution function Fy(t) when x is available for all units in ...

This paper proposes a method to estimate leaf water content from reflectance in four commercial vineyard varieties by estimating the local maxima of a distance correlation function. First, it applies four ...

This paper studies properties of parameter estimators obtained by minimizing a distance between the empirical probability generating function and the probability generating function of a model for count ...

A test approach to the model selection problem based on characteristic functions (CFs) is proposed. The scheme is close to that proposed by Vuong (Econometrica 57:257–306, 1989), which is based on comparing ...

Recent years have witnessed a growing use of terrestrial laser scanners to determine the geometry of tunnels, although the companies that perform this task do not, as a rule, apply a methodology that enables ...

In this paper, we deal with the cost allocation problem arising in an inventory transportation system with a single item and multiple agents that place joint orders using an EOQ policy. In our problem, ...
