Inference based on ratio of two independent Poisson rates is common in epidemiological studies. We study the performance of a variety of unconditional method of variance estimates recovery (MOVER) methods of combining separate confidence intervals for two single Poisson rates to form a...

The choice of distribution is often made on the basis of how well the data appear to be fitted by the distribution. The inverse Gaussian distribution is one of the basic models for describing positively skewed data which arise in a variety of applications. In this paper, the problem of interest...

In multivariate spatial point patterns' statistical analysis, conventional summary statistics can only detect the dependence between two types of points, and cannot be used to detect the dependence among three types of points. New summary statistics are proposed which can be used to detect the...
