This work deals with a decision-theoretic evaluation of p-value rules. A test statistic is judged on the behavior of its p-value with the loss function being an increasing function G of the p-value.

The accuracy of alternative estimation methods (i.e., ML, GLS, and WLS) in structural equation modeling was investigated under two kinds of sample sizes--150 and 500--with advantage of Monte Carlo study. Four types of ...

The analysis of directional data is an area of statistics concerned with observations collected initially in the form of unit vectors, or with vector-valued observations that can be reduced to that form through some type ...

Free-sorting data are obtained when subjects are given a set of objects and are asked to divide them into subsets. Such data are usually reduced by counting, for each pair of objects, how many subjects placed the two into ...

The models developed in this thesis are designed to analyze the nature of the interactions present in 3-mode, multivariate, longitudinal categorical data. They are extensions of loglinear models that provide graphical ...

The identifiability and estimability of the parameters for the Unified Cognitive/IRT Model are studies. A calibration procedure for the Unified Model is then proposed. This procedure uses the marginal maximum likelihood ...

In many areas of application of statistics one has a relevent parametric family of densities and wishes to estimate the density from a random sample. In such cases one can use the family to generate an estimator. We fix a ...

We consider the problem of regressing a dichotomous response variable on a predictor variable. Our interest is in modelling the probability of occurrence of the response as a function of the predictor variable, and in ...

In this thesis we discuss a mesoscale model of block-copolymer (BCP) microphase separation dynamics based on a cell dynamics system (CDS) model. The model suggests a partial differential equation (PDE) model that allows ...

Consider the model $y\sb{lj} = \mu\sb{l}(t\sb{j})$ + $\varepsilon\sb{lj}$, $l = 1,..,m$ and $j = 1,..,n,$ where $\varepsilon\sb{lj}$ are independent mean zero finite variance random variables. Under the above setting we ...
