Modern Mathematical, Management, And Statistical Sciences, III: Advances In Theory & Application

by Edward J. Dudewicz (Editor)

Bringing together contributors from the fields of mathematics, statistics, management, business, and information technology, the editors (from Syracuse U., U. of Maryland-College Park, and U. of Kentucky) present eight papers from researchers in India, Canada, the United States, and Portugal. Examples of topics discussed include the approximations of point availability functions for a two- unit standby system using Gamma distributions, development of classes of subset selection procedures for location parameters, procedures for detection of outliers in multivariate data with autocorrelated errors for a mean-slippage and dispersion slippage outlier model, new nonparametric estimators of entropy based on nearest neighbor distances between sample points, and confidence intervals for the rations of ranked scale parameters for censored data.
