Misclassification errors in single stage cluster sampling are considered where a binary variable is under study. The expectation and variance of the estimator is derived assuming correlated response errors. It is shown ...

In this paper the time that the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) took to return from IDPs Camps to their ancestral homes in Northern Uganda was modeled using parametric methods. A retrospective dataset was collected ...

In this paper, attempt to study effects of extreme observations on two estimators of finite population total theoretically and by simulation is made. We compare the ratio estimate with the local linear polynomial estimate ...

In this article an application of a kernel based nonparametric approach in constructing a large sample nonparametric confidence interval for a shift parameter is considered. The method is illustrated using the Cauchy ...

Some general asymptotic methods of estimating the quantile function, Q(ξ), 0>ξ>1 of location-scale families of distributions based on a few selected order statistics are considered, with applications to some non-regular ...

This article develops a Bayesian test for equality of scale parameters of several exponential distributions. The null distribution of the test statistic is approximated by the chi-square distribution using heuristic reasoning ...
