摘要：The nonparametric estimators introduced by Hills (1967) and Aitchison and Aitken (1976) were viewed as weighted near neighbor estimators. An adaptive weighted near neighbor estimator is constructed which minimizes mean squared error. Its properties were examined. The estimator is easy to compute. [A diagnositc situation was considered in which the presence of a disease D is determined by looking for k different symptoms in the patient].

摘要：The properties of 4 commonly used estimators of the odds ratio are studied under a large-sample scheme in which the number of 2 .times. 2 tables increases, but the possible marginal configurations remain fixed. Neither the unconditional maximum likelihood nor the empirical logit estimators converge to the true odds ratio; their asymptotic bias is computed for certain special cases of interest. The conditional maximum likelihood and Mantel-Haenszel estimators, which are consistent, have asympto...

摘要：Analysis of regression effects when individual study subjects may experience multiple failures [i.e., time sequence of asthmatic attacks, epileptic seizures, infection episodes, tumor diagnoses, tumor recurrences or bleeding incidents in individual patients] was undertaken. The proposed methods are useful when there are a large number of study subjects. Two general classes of regression models are considered in order to relate the hazard or intensity function to covariates and to preceding fai...

摘要：An asymptotically optimal selection of regression variables is proposed. The key assumption is that the number of control variables is infinite or increases with the sample size. Mallows'' Cp, Akaike''s FPE and AIC methods are all asymptotically equivalent to this method.

摘要：The amount of computation required for implementing the Bayesian cluster analysis suggested by Binder (1978) is often too large for exact results to be feasible. A general algorithm is proposed for approximating the similarity matrix and the resulting optimal partition. This algorithm is applied to artificial and to real data. For the real data, it appears that the algorithm is successful at identifying the optimal partitions as well as those units whose group membership is doubtful. [Data inc...

摘要：A simply parameterized class of models for the estimation of survival probability in a marked population is introduced which allows tests of dependence between sighting probabilities and constancy of survival or sighting probabilities. Estimation and hypothesis testing based on the likelihood function are discussed. By simulation, the asymptotic properties of the test for dependence are shown to hold for modest sample sizes. The degree of bias in estimation of survival probabilities when depen...

摘要：The behavior of nonlinear deterministic vibrations was studied and may typically include such features as jump phenomena and limit cycles. Nonlinear random vibrations in continuous time were also studied previously; these may commonly give rise to the phenomenon of amplitude-dependent frequency. A discrete time series model is introduced, which may have properties similar to those of nonlinear random vibrations. This model is of autoregressive form with amplitude-dependent coefficients and may...
