While the asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of Wilcoxon rank-based tests for location and regression with respect to their parametric Student competitors can be arbitrarily large, Hodges and Lehmann (1961) have shown that the ARE of the…
This note is my comment on Glenn Shafer's discussion paper "Testing by betting", together with two online appendices comparing p-values and betting scores.
We investigate the power of the CUSUM test and the Wilcoxon change-point test for a shift in the mean of a process with long-range dependent noise. We derive analytiv formulas for the power of these tests under local alternatives. These…
This research article compares two characteristics of solutions of linear differential equations of the third order with variable coefficients. It appears that there is a lower estimate for wandering rate of solution to a linear equation in…
We give a new and short proof of a theorem on k-hypertournament losing scores due to Zhou et al. [G. Zhou, T. Yao, K. Zhang, On score sequences of k-tournaments, European J. Comb., 21, 8 (2000) 993-1000.]
The Wiman-Valiron inequality relates the maximum modulus of an analytic function to its Taylor coefficients via the maximum term. After a short overview of the known results, we obtain a general version of this inequality that seems to have…
The aim of this article is to give some improvements of Jordan-Steckin and Becker-Stark inequalities discussed in [1].
In benchmarking of Information Retrieval systems, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test is often treated as a safer alternative to the t-test. This belief is fueled by textbooks and recommendations that portray Wilcoxon as the proper non-parametric…
In this paper we describe a statistical procedure to account for differences in grading practices from one course to another. The goal is to define a course "inflatedness" and a student "aptitude" that best captures one's intuitive notions…
In this paper, some inequalities of bounds for the Neuman-S\'{a}ndor mean in terms of weighted arithmetic means of two bivariate means are established. Bounds involving weighted arithmetic means are sharp.
The main aim of this paper is to find the estimation for Vilenkin-Fourier coefficients.
In this paper, we compare extreme order statistics through vector majorization arising from heterogeneous Poisson and geometric random variables. These comparisons are carried out with respect to usual stochastic ordering.
This note is the follow up to a paper by M. Waldschmidt.
Hawley-Dolan and Winner had asked the art students to compare paintings by abstract artists with paintings made by a child or by an animal. In 67% of the cases, art students said that the painting by a renowned artist is better. I compare…
In this paper peer review reliability is investigated based on peer ratings of research teams at two Belgian universities. It is found that outcomes can be substantially influenced by the different ways in which experts attribute ratings.…
Van der Waerden's theorem, published in Nieuw. Arch. Wisk. 15 (1927), acted as a catalyst for major further developments in Ramsey theory. In this survey, we delve into the legacy of this mathematical gem, tracing its historical origin,…
This article proposes an improved version of the Spearman rank correlation based on using Wilcoxon rank score function. A smoothed empirical cumulative distribution function (ecdf)computes the smoothed ranks and replaces the regular ranks…
In this paper, we consider pairs of a prime and a prime power with a fixed difference. We prove an average result on the distribution of such pairs. This is a partial improvement of the result of Bauer (1998).
It is widely agreed that exams must be fair; yet what this exactly means is not made clear. One may mean fairness of treatment, but this merely propagates the fairness or unfairness of pre-existing rules. Fairness of opportunity on the…
