Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOne-Sided Multivariate Tests for High Dimensional DataSamruam ChongcharoenProblem statement: For a multivariate normal population with size smaller than dimension, n<p, the likelihood ratio tests of the null hypothesis that the mean vector was zero with a one-sided alternative were no longer valid because they involved with sample covariance matrix which was singular. Approach: The test statistics for one-sided multivariate hypotheses with n<p were proposed. Results: The simulation … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2012 · 7,261 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNote on the Comparison of Some Outlier Labeling TechniquesN. P. OlewueziProblem statement: Methods proposed for estimating and resolving outliers are compared. Approach: In this respect, we exploit three well-known classifiers for identifying outliers to establish guidelines for the choice of outlier detection methods. Results: It was shown that the standard deviation is inappropriate to use here because it is highly sensitive to extreme values. Conclusion/Recommendations: The result of these estimated … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 18 Nov 2011 · 8,261 accessesView PDFCite
