ANOVA is a well-known approach when examining the equality of three or more than three groups’ means. However, like every parametric test, some assumptions are to be satisfied so that the appropriate and reliable conclusions are obtained. The major emphasis of this thesis is the non-validated model assumptions of the oneway ANOVA, where the independency and normality assumptions are considered as non-validated. Indeed, in real life applications, it is not realistic to validate all of those assumptions. That’s why, in the literature there exists a number of studies related to the non-validated assumptions. For this thesis, a test statistic for one-way ANOVA is introduced when the underlying distribution of the error terms is Student’s t and the each group, which are compared for the equality of their means, follows AR(1) process. In addition to one-way ANOVA test statistic, a test statistic for the linear contrasts is introduced as well. A comprahansive simulation study is done to investigate the performances of the corresponding test statistics. Finally, a real life data related to the unemployment rate are analysed in order to illustrate the application of the subjects stated under the scope of this thesis.

An Approach for determining process economy parameters of multivariate loss functions Özkan, Gökçe; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2016) The aim of this study is to provide an effective method for determining parameters of multivariate loss functions, which are related with process economics. The loss functions are widely used in product and process design and other quality engineering applications. Although there are several studies about different types of loss functions, there is a lack of studies on determining cost matrix parameters of these functions. For this purpose, we propose a method based on multi-objective decision making tools....
An Improved Textbook Rule on the Mean-Median Inequality for Discrete Data Vardar Acar, Ceren (2020-04-01) Objective: Many introductory statistics books cover the mean-median inequality, which states that if the skewness value is positive/negative, the mean is greater/less than the median. However, this textbook rule is often violated especially when one tail is long and the other is heavy. The purpose of this paper is to propose a refinement that solves the problem to a meaningful extent by bringing the area to the left and right of the median into the picture for discrete data, where violations are more common...
Effect of estimation in goodness-of-fit tests Eren, Emrah; Sürücü, Barış; Department of Statistics (2009) In statistical analysis, distributional assumptions are needed to apply parametric procedures. Assumptions about underlying distribution should be true for accurate statistical inferences. Goodness-of-fit tests are used for checking the validity of the distributional assumptions. To apply some of the goodness-of-fit tests, the unknown population parameters are estimated. The null distributions of test statistics become complicated or depend on the unknown parameters if population parameters are replaced by ...
The $W,Z$ scale functions kit for first passage problems of spectrally negative Levy processes, and applications to control problems Avram, Florin; Grahovac, Danijel; Vardar Acar, Ceren (EDP Sciences, 2019-11-01) In the last years there appeared a great variety of identities for first passage problems of spectrally negative Levy processes, which can all be expressed in terms of two "q-harmonic functions" (or scale functions)WandZ. The reason behind that is that there are two ways of exiting an interval, and thus two fundamental "two-sided exit" problems from an interval (TSE). Since many other problems can be reduced to TSE, researchers developed in the last years a kit of formulas expressed in terms of the "W,Zalph...
A Novel algorithm for time series model selection: mutual information model selection algorithm (MIMSA Akça, Elif; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2017) Time series model selection has gained a signiﬁcant popularity,and a variety of methods has been introduced in the recent years. It is crucial for a method to propose a candidate model as the ﬁnal model that explains the procedure underlying a series best and provides accurate forecasts among many candidates. In this study, it is aimed to create an algorithm for order selection in Box-Jenkins models that combines penalized natural logarithm of mutual information among the original series and predictions com...
