In this paper some different sorts of confidence intervals are considered for the scale parameter of the Burr type XII distribution based on the upper record values. In this regard, the coverage probability is adopted as a measure of improvement when the endpoints are the same for all types of...

For the linear regression model , we assume that for a given positive definite scale matrix , the error vector has a multivariate normal distribution and has the inverted Wishart distribution. For under an orthogonal sub-space restriction , we propose restricted unbiased, preliminary test and...

Recently, many researchers have considered the use of heavy-tailed models for processing multiplicative economic and business data for validity of robustness. As a reliable justification, fat-tailed models contain outliers and extreme values reasonably well. In this paper, we assume in the...

In a partial linear model, some non-stochastic linear restrictions are imposed under a multicollinearity setting. Semiparametric ridge and non-ridge type estimators, in a restricted manifold are defined. For practical use, it is assumed that the covariance matrix of the error term is unknown and...

A new mixture representation is given for a generalized multivariate t distribution. It is used to derive expressions for characteristic function and distribution of quadratic forms.

The product moments of existing and new noncentral bimatrix variate beta distributions with bounded domain are derived. From these, exact expressions for the distributions of statistics are obtained by using the Mellin transform. These distributions add value to multivariate statistical analysis...

In this short note the closed form of the soft wavelet shrinkage estimator is derived, extending the work of Huang (2002) for the scale mixture of normal distributions.
