Explicit expressions for joint moments of -dimensional elliptical distributions
Baishuai Zuo, Chuancun Yin, Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan
Inspired by Stein's lemma, we derive two expressions for the joint moments of elliptical distributions. We use two different methods to derive for any m…
Sidak-type tests for the two-sample problem based on precedence and exceedance statistics
Eugenia Stoimenova, N. Balakrishnan
This paper deals with a class of nonparametric two-sample tests for ordered alternatives. The test statistics proposed are based on the number of observations from one sample that…
Empirical phi-divergence test statistics for testing simple and composite null hypotheses
Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan, Nirian Martín, Leandro Pardo
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce first a new family of empirical test statistics for testing a simple null hypothesis when the vector of parameters of interest are de…
Pareto analysis based on records
M. Doostparast, N. Balakrishnan
Estimation of the parameters of an exponential distribution based on record data has been treated by Samaniego and Whitaker (1986) and Doostparast (2009). Recently, Doostparast and…
