In this paper, the likelihood ratio approach is applied for measuring evidence provided by record data in favor of a hypothesis against an alternative under a random sampling scheme. Explicit expressions for probabilities of observing strong and weak evidences are derived. Asymptotic behaviors...

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify hospital organizational characteristics consistently associated with adherence to multiple clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). We examined the relationship between organizational and patient population characteristics and adherence to three...

A new multiple testing procedure, called the FDR<Subscript> L </Subscript> procedure, was proposed by Zhang et al. (Ann Stat 39:613–642, <CitationRef CitationID="CR12">2011</CitationRef>) for detecting the presence of spatial signals for large-scale 2D and 3D imaging data. In contrast to the conventional multiple testing procedure, the FDR<Subscript> L </Subscript> procedure...</subscript></citationref></subscript>

The b-value of the Gutenberg–Richter’s frequency–magnitude relation and the p-value of the modified Omori law, which describes the decay rate of aftershock activity, were investigated for more than 500 aftershocks in the Aksehir-Afyon graben (AAG) following the 15 December 2000...

This paper proposes three new panel unit root tests based on Zaykin et al. (2002)’s truncated product method. The first one assumes constant correlation between p-values and the latter two use sieve bootstrap that allows for general forms of cross-section dependence in the panel units. Monte...
