Estimation in hazard change-point models with truncated data Yenigün, Cemal Deniz; Güven, Bilgehan; Gürler, Ülkü; Department of Statistics (2002) The hazard function plays an important role in reliability and survival analysis. In some real life applications, changes in the hazard function may be observed and it is of interest to detect the location and the size of the change. In this study we consider hazard models with a single change-point when the observations are subject to random truncation, where the observation of variable X of interest representing the lifetime can be prevented by another independent random variable Y. For a piecewise consta...
Estimation in interval censored data Bayramoğlu, Könül; Sürücü, Barış; Department of Statistics (2014) Interval censored failure time data occur in many areas including medicine, economics, zoology, psychology, sociology and engineering. In such studies, the variable of interest is often not exactly observed, but known to fall within some interval. In this thesis, the likelihood functions for fixed and random interval censored data are obtained. Modified Maximum Likelihood and Copula Methods are utilized for the estimation of unknown parameters. Bivariate interval censored data are also considered as a gener...
Estimation in multivariate nonnormal distributions with stochastic variance function İslam, Muhammed Qamarul (2014-01-01) In this paper the problem of estimation of location and scatter of multivariate nonnormal distributions is considered. Estimators are derived under a maximum likelihood setup by expressing the non-linear likelihood equations in the linear form. The resulting estimators are analytical expressions in terms of sample values and, hence, are easily computable and can also be manipulated analytically. These estimators are found to be remarkably more efficient and robust as compared to the least square estimators....
Estimation in the simple linear regression model with one-fold nested error Ülgen, Burçin Emre; Güven, Bilgehan; Department of Statistics (2005) In this thesis, estimation in simple linear regression model with one-fold nested error is studied. To estimate the fixed effect parameters, generalized least squares and maximum likelihood estimation procedures are reviewed. Moreover, Minimum Norm Quadratic Estimator (MINQE), Almost Unbiased Estimator (AUE) and Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimator (REML) of variance of primary units are derived. Also, confidence intervals for the fixed effect parameters and the variance components are studied. Finally, ...
Estimation in bivariate nonnormal distributions with stochastic variance functions Tiku, Moti L.; İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; SAZAK, HAKAN SAVAŞ (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) Data sets in numerous areas of application can be modelled by symmetric bivariate nonnormal distributions. Estimation of parameters in such situations is considered when the mean and variance of one variable is a linear and a positive function of the other variable. This is typically true of bivariate t distribution. The resulting estimators are found to be remarkably efficient. Hypothesis testing procedures are developed and shown to be robust and powerful. Real life examples are given.
