Analysis of biological rhythm data often involves performing least squares trigonometric regression, which models the oscillations of a response over time as a sum of sinusoidal components. When the response is not normally distributed, an…
The assumption that the sampling distribution of the crude odds ratio (ORcrude) is a log-normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma leads to the incorrect conclusion that the expectation of the log of ORcrude is equal to the parameter…
A sum of lognormal random variables (RVs) appears in many problems of science and engineering. For example, it is invloved in computing the distribution of recevied signal and interference powers for radio channels subject to lognormal…

We give a unified approach to weighted mixed-norm estimates and solvability for both the usual and time fractional parabolic equations in nondivergence form when coefficients are merely measurable in the time variable. In the spatial…
We study the least square estimator, in the framework of simple linear regression, when the deviance term $\varepsilon$ with respect to the linear model is modeled by a uniform distribution. In particular, we give the law of this estimator,…
Analyses of randomised trials are often based on regression models which adjust for baseline covariates, in addition to randomised group. Based on such models, one can obtain estimates of the marginal mean outcome for the population under…
In this paper we have proposed a median based estimator using known value of some population parameter(s) in simple random sampling. Various existing estimators are shown particular members of the proposed estimator. The bias and mean…
