Selection and ranking procedures based on likelihood ratios

Chotai, Jayanti January 1979 (has links)
This thesis deals with random-size subset selection and ranking procedures• • • )|(derived through likelihood ratios, mainly in terms of the P -approach.Let IT , . .. , IT, be k(> 2) populations such that IR.(i = l, . . . , k) hasJ_ K. — 12the normal distribution with unknwon mean 0. and variance a.a , where a.i i i2 . . is known and a may be unknown; and that a random sample of size n^ istaken from . To begin with, we give procedure (with tables) whichselects IT. if sup L(0;x) >c SUD L(0;X), where SÎ is the parameter space1for 0 = (0-^, 0^) ; where (with c: ß) is the set of all 0 with0. = max 0.; where L(*;x) is the likelihood function based on the total1sample; and where c is the largest constant that makes the rule satisfy theP*-condition. Then, we consider other likelihood ratios, with intuitivelyreasonable subspaces of ß, and derive several new rules. Comparisons amongsome of these rules and rule R of Gupta (1956, 1965) are made using differentcriteria; numerical for k=3, and a Monte-Carlo study for k=10.For the case when the populations have the uniform (0,0^) distributions,and we have unequal sample sizes, we consider selection for the populationwith min 0.. Comparisons with Barr and Rizvi (1966) are made. Generalizai<j<k Jtions are given.Rule R^ is generalized to densities satisfying some reasonable assumptions(mainly unimodality of the likelihood, and monotonicity of the likelihoodratio). An exponential class is considered, and the results are exemplifiedby the gamma density and the Laplace density. Extensions and generalizationsto cover the selection of the t best populations (using various requirements)are given. Finally, a discussion oil the complete ranking problem,and on the relation between subset selection based on likelihood ratios andstatistical inference under order restrictions, is given. / digitalisering@umu

Estimating the Difference of Percentiles from Two Independent Populations.

Tchouta, Romual Eloge 12 August 2008 (has links) (PDF)
We first consider confidence intervals for a normal percentile, an exponential percentile and a uniform percentile. Then we develop confidence intervals for a difference of percentiles from two independent normal populations, two independent exponential populations and two independent uniform populations. In our study, we mainly focus on the maximum likelihood to develop our confidence intervals. The efficiency of this method is examined via coverage rates obtained in a simulation study done with the statistical software R.

Propriétés arithmétiques et statistiques des fonctions digitales restreintes

Shawket, Zaid Esmat 22 July 2011 (has links)
Dans ce travail nous étudions les propriétés arithmétiques et statistiques d'une nouvelle classe de fonctions de comptage des chiffres appelées fonctions digitales restreintes. Nous présentons tout d'abord les principales propriétés des suites engendrées par une substitution ou un $q$-automate ainsi que la suite célèbre de Thue-Morse et ses généralisations, puis nous comparons ces notions avec celle de fonction digitale restreinte.Nous étudions ensuite les sommes d'exponentielles associées à ces fonctions digitales restreintes ainsi que leur application d'une part à l'étude de la répartition modulo 1 des fonctions digitales restreintes et d'autre part à l'étude des propriétés statistiques des suites arithmétiques définies par des fonctions digitales restreintes.Dans la dernière partie de ce travail on étudie la représentation géométrique de ces sommes d'exponentielle à la lumière des travaux antérieurs de Dekking et Mendès-France ce qui nous conduit à énoncer plusieurs problèmes ouverts. / In this work we study the arithmetic and statistic properties of a new class of digital counting functions called restricted digital functions. We first present the main properties of sequences generated by a substitution or a $q$-automate followed by presenting the famous Thue-Morse sequence and its generalizations, then we compare these notions with the one of the restricted digital function.We then study the exponential sums associated with these restricted digital function and their implementation on the one hand to the study of uniform distribution modulo 1 of these restricted digital functions and on the other, to the study of the statistical properties of the arithmetic sequences defined by restricted digital functions.In the last part of this work we study the geometric representation of these exponential sums in the light of previous works of Dekking and Mendès-France which leads us to announce several open problems.

Distribution of reflection points of periodic billiard trajectories in a strictly convex table

Han, Xurui 03 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire de maîtrise porte sur les billards mathématiques et la distribution des points de réflexion des trajectoires périodiques d’une table de billard strictement convexe. Un billard mathématique est un système dynamique généré par le mouvement libre d’une particule à l’intérieur d’un domaine dont la frontière est parfaitement réfléchissante. Une question d’intérêt particulier dans l’étude des billards mathématiques est celle de ses trajectoires périodiques. Nous considérons le cas des billards planaires strictement convexes. Il est connu que les points de réflexion des trajectoires périodiques de période n faisant un tour de table sont équidistribués par rapport à une mesure naturelle sur la frontière. Nous montrons ce résultat par une méthode nouvelle et relativement élémentaire utilisant la théorie de Lazuktin [12]. Dans le premier chapitre, nous donnons une description précise de la dynamique des billards et une brève introduction à la théorie de Lazuktin, aux applications de torsion et aux caustiques. Dans les chapitres 2 à 4, nous développons chacun des concepts précédents et expliquons comment ceux-ci sont liés aux billards. Le chapitre 5 est consacré à la preuve de notre résultat principal, divisée en deux parties. Nous concluons en donnant une annexe sur la théorie de la mesure. / This master’s thesis is concerned with mathematical billiards and distribution of reflection points of periodic trajectories of a strictly convex billiard table. A mathematical billiard is a dynamical system generated by the free motion of a particle inside of a domain with a perfectly reflecting boundary. A question of particular interest in the study of mathematical billiards is that of its periodic trajectories. We consider the case of planar strictly convex billiards. It is known that the reflection points of periodic trajectories of period n making one turn around the table are equidistributed with respect to a natural measure on the boundary. We show this result by a new and relatively elementary method using Lazuktin’s theory [12]. In the first chapter, we give a precise description of billiard dynamics and a brief introduction of Lazuktin’s theory, twist mappings and caustics. In Chapter 2 to 4, we elaborate each of the previous concepts and explain how they are related to billiards. Chapter 5 is dedicated to the proof of our main result, divided into two parts. We conclude by giving an appendix about measure theory.

Introduction to Probability Theory

Chen, Yong-Yuan 25 May 2010 (has links)
In this paper, we first present the basic principles of set theory and combinatorial analysis which are the most useful tools in computing probabilities. Then, we show some important properties derived from axioms of probability. Conditional probabilities come into play not only when some partial information is available, but also as a tool to compute probabilities more easily, even when partial information is unavailable. Then, the concept of random variable and its some related properties are introduced. For univariate random variables, we introduce the basic properties of some common discrete and continuous distributions. The important properties of jointly distributed random variables are also considered. Some inequalities, the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem are discussed. Finally, we introduce additional topics the Poisson process.

Από τις τυχαίες γωνίες στις περιοδικές κατανομές

Παπαδοπούλου, Γεωργία 07 June 2013 (has links)
Η εκπόνηση της συγκεκριμένης Μεταπτυχιακής Εργασίας, εξετάζει, καταρχήν, την έννοια της πιθανότητας και τις βασικές ιδιότητές της, όπως την τυχαία μεταβλητή και τη συνάρτηση κατανομής. Παράλληλα όμως, παρουσιάζει στοιχεία βασικών διακριτών και συνεχών κατανομών, όπως της κανονικής, της ομοιόμορφης, της Poisson, και άλλων κατανομών της γραμμικής στατιστικής. Στη συνέχεια, αναφέρεται στις βασικές έννοιες της περιγραφικής στατιστικής, όπως οργάνωση και γραφική αναπαράσταση στατιστικών δεδομένων, ομαδοποίηση παρατηρήσεων, ιστόγραμμα συχνοτήτων, καθώς και περιγραφικά μέτρα γραμμικών δεδομένων. Κυρίως, όμως, η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μία γενική επισκόπηση των στατιστικών μεθόδων παρουσίασης και ανάλυσης των περιοδικών δεδομένων. Με τον όρο "περιοδικά δεδομένα", εννοούμε τυχαίες διευθύνσεις και κατευθύνσεις προσανατολισμού. Η παρουσίασης των τυχαίων γωνιών, των γραφικών αναπαραστάσεων των περιοδικών δεδομένων καθώς και των περιγραφικών μέτρων - μέτρα θέσεως, διασποράς, λοξότητας, κυρτώσεως - θα μας οδηγήσουν σε μία καλύτερη προσέγγιση, κατανόηση των περιοδικών κατανομών. Επιπλέον, θα παρουσιαστούν αναλυτικά οι βασικές περιοδικές κατανομές, ομοιόμορφη και Von Mises κατανομή. Όμως, θα εξεταστούν και άλλες κατανομές μονοκόρυφες ή πολυκόρυφες, όπως οι περιελιγμένες κατανομές , η συνημίτονο και η καρδιοειδής κατανομή, οι λοξές κατανομές κ.ά. Τέλος, η εργασία θα αναφερθεί σε μία οικογένεια συμμετρικών περιοδικών κατανομών που προτάθηκε από τον κύριο Παπακωνσταντίνου και αποτελεί επέκταση της καρδιοειδούς κατανομής,σύμφωνα με εργασία των επιστημόνων Toshihiro Abe,Arthur Pewsey,Kunio Shimizu, παρέχοντας σημαντικά πλεονεκτήματα σε σχέση με άλλες οικογένειες κατανομών. / The preparation of this thesis examines, in principle,the concept of probability and its basic properties, such as the random variable and distribution function and presents data of basic discrete and continuous distributions, including normal, uniform, the Poisson, and other distributions of linear statistics. Then it refers to the basic concepts of descriptive statistics, such as the organization and the graphic representation of statistical data, grouping observations Frequency histogram as well as descriptive measures of linear data. Mostly, though, this study represents an overview of statistic methods of presentation and analysis of periodic data. By the term "periodic data" we mean random addresses and directions orientation. The presentation of random angles, graphic representations of periodic data and descriptive measures - measures of location, dispersion, skewness and kurtosis - will lead us to a better approach and understanding of periodic distributions. Furthermore, we present in detail the basic periodic distributions, the uniform and the Von Mises distribution. But other unimodal and multimodal distributions will be examined such as wrapped distributions, the cosine and cardioid distribution, skewed distributions, etc. Finally, this thesis will mention a family of symmetric periodic distributions proposed by Mr. Papakonstantinou and an extension of the cardioid distribution, according to the paper published by the scientists Toshihiro Abe,Arthur Pewsey and Kunio Shimizu, where significant advantages are provided over other families of distributions.

On the distribution of the values of arithmetical functions / Sur la répartition des valeurs des fonctions arithmétiques

Hassani, Mehdi 08 December 2010 (has links)
La thèse concerne différents aspects de la répartition des fonctions arithmétiques.1. Deshouillers, Iwaniec et Luca se sont récemment intéressés à la répartition modulo 1 de suites qui sont des valeurs moyennes de fonctions multiplicatives, par exemple phi(n)/n où phi est la fonction d'Euler. Nous étendons leur travail à la densité modulo 1 de suites qui sont des valeurs moyennes sur des suites polynômiales, typiquement n^2+1.2. On sait depuis les travaux de Katai, il y a une quarantaine d'années que la fonction de répartition des valeurs de phi(p-1)/(p-1) (où p parcourt les nombres premiers) est continue, purement singulière, strictement croissante entre 0 et 1/2. On précise cette étude en montrant que cette fonction de répartition a une dérivée infinie à gauche de tout point phi(2n)/(2n). / Abstract
