Products that do not meet the specification criteria of an intended buyer represent a challenge to the producer in maximizing profits. To understand the value of the optimal process target (OPT) set at a profit-maximizing level, a model was developed by Shao et al. (1999) involving multiple...

In diagnostic medicine, there is great interest in developing strategies for combining biomarkers in order to optimize classification accuracy. A popular model that has been used for receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve modelling when one biomarker is available is the binormal model....

We investigate the nonparametric estimation of Kendall's coefficient of concordance, τ, for measuring the association between two variables under bivariate censoring. The proposed estimator is a modification of the estimator introduced by Oakes (1982), using a Horvitz-Thompson-type correction...

In this study we propose the use of the Student's t dependence function to model dependence between asset returns when … necessary, specifying the marginal distributions and their dependence. Traditionally, dependence is described by a correlation … matrix, implying the use of the dependence function inherent in the multivariate normal (Gaussian) distribution. Recent …
