摘要：A survival function S is said to be in the New Better than Used of age t0 (NBU-t0) class if S(x + t0) less-than-or-equal-to S(t0)S(x) for all x greater-than-or-equal-to 0. Reneau and Samaniego proposed an estimator S(n) for S when S is known as a member of the NBU-t0 class. Many properties of S(n) were studied by Reneau and Samaniego. The problems of the weak convergence of W(n) = square-root n (S(n) - S), however, was not solved. In this article, we show that the weak convergence of W(n) does...

摘要：We describe methods used to create a new Census data base that can be used to study comparability of industry and occupation classification systems. This project represents the most extensive application of multiple imputation to date, and the modeling effort was considerable as well-hundreds of logistic regressions were estimated. One goal of this article is to summarize the strategies used in the project so that researchers can better understand how the new data bases were created. Another g...

摘要：Advances in computation and the fast and cheap computational facilities now available to statisticians have had a significant impact upon statistical research, and especially the development of nonparametric data analysis procedures. In particular, theoretical and applied research on nonparametric density estimation has had a noticeable influence on related topics, such as nonparametric regression, nonparametric discrimination, and nonparametric pattern recognition. This article reviews recent...

摘要：Studies of regional climate following volcanic eruptions suggest that explosive volcanism exerts a short-term cooling effect. To understand the effects of explosive volcanism on historic temperatures, it is necessary to identify changes through time in the frequency of explosive eruptions. This article presents an exploratory analysis of a record of explosive eruptions in the Northern Hemisphere over the period 1851-1985. This record is modeled as a nonstationary Poisson process and the intens...

摘要：The fields of molecular genetics and medicine are accumulating DNA and protein sequence data at an accelerating rate. Discovering and interpreting sequence patterns can contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms and evolutionary processes. This article considers two types of statistical problems in these contexts: (1) identifying anomalies in the distribution of a specified biochemical marker along a DNA string; in particular, new statistical methods are set forth by which to assess exce...

摘要：In this article I review the modeling of capture, recapture, and removal statistics for the purpose of estimating demographic parameters of fish and wildlife populations. Topics considered include capture-recapture models, band or tag return models, removal and catch per unit effort models, selective removal or change-in-ratio models, radio-tagging survival models, and nest survival models. The purpose is to present important concepts in a general manner for the benefit of a wide audience of s...
