Signed-rank tests for location in the symmetric independent component model
Nordhausen, Klaus; Oja, Hannu; Paindaveine, Davy - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 5, pp. 821-834
The so-called independent component (IC) model states that the observed p-vectorX is generated via X=[Lambda]Z+[mu], where [mu] is a p-vector, [Lambda] is a full-rank matrix, and the centered random vector Z has independent marginals. We consider the problem of testing the null hypothesis on the...

Analysis of correlated binary data under partially linear single-index logistic models
Yi, Grace Y.; He, Wenqing; Liang, Hua - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 2, pp. 278-290
Clustered data arise commonly in practice and it is often of interest to estimate the mean response parameters as well as the association parameters. However, most research has been directed to address the mean response parameters with the association parameters relegated to a nuisance role....

A weighted multivariate signed-rank test for cluster-correlated data
Haataja, Riina; Larocque, Denis; Nevalainen, Jaakko; … - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 100 (2009) 6, pp. 1107-1119
A weighted multivariate signed-rank test is introduced for an analysis of multivariate clustered data. Observations in different clusters may then get different weights. The test provides a robust and efficient alternative to normal theory based methods. Asymptotic theory is developed to find...

Occupation time theorems for one-dimensional random walks and diffusion processes in random environments
Kasahara, Yuji; Watanabe, Shinzo - In: Stochastic Processes and their Applications 119 (2009) 2, pp. 347-372
The long time asymptotics of the time spent on the positive side are discussed for one-dimensional diffusion processes in random environments. The limiting distributions under the log-log scale are obtained for the diffusion processes in the stable medium as well as for the Brox model. Similar...
