The stuttering generalized Waring distribution is introduced and shown to arise through two urn genesis schemes. Its probability generating function and moments are derived and some potential applications are discussed

The paper considers the problem of selecting one of two not necessarily nested competing regression models based on comparative evaluations of their abilities in each of two different issues: The first pertains to viewing the problem as a “best-fitting” model determination problem in the...

In this paper, an evaluation method is suggested for selecting one of two competing models based on certain predictive ability ratings. The main focus is on the case of linear models that are not necessarily nested. In the context of such models, the test procedure is based on a sample statistic...

With the notion of success in a series of trials extended to refer to a run of like outcomes, several new distributions are obtained as the result of sampling from an urn without replacement or with additional replacements. In this context, the hypergeometric, negative hypergeometric,...
