Statistical inference with nonresponse is quite challenging, especially when the response mechanism is nonignorable. The existing methods often require correct model specifications for both outcome and response models. However, due to…

It is widely acknowledged that the biomedical literature suffer from a surfeit of false positive results. Part of the reason for this is the persistence of the myth that observation of a p value less than 0.05 is sufficient justification to…

In this paper we have proposed an almost unbiased estimator using known value of some population parameter(s) with known population proportion of an auxiliary variable. A class of estimators is defined which includes [1], [2] and [3]…

Well-recommended methods of forming `confidence intervals' for a binomial proportion give interval estimates that do not actually meet the definition of a confidence interval, in that their coverages are sometimes lower than the nominal…

In contrast to its common definition and calculation, interpretation of p-values diverges among statisticians. Since p-value is the basis of various methodologies, this divergence has led to a variety of test methodologies and evaluations…

In this paper, we propose two new flexible Gini indices (extended lower and upper) defined via differences between the $i$-th observation, the smallest order statistic, and the largest order statistic, for any $1 \leqslant i \leqslant m$.…
