This paper first introduces the Kerridge inaccuracy measure as an extension of the Shannon entropy and then the measure of past inaccuracy has been rewritten based on the concept of quantile function. Then, some characterizations results for lifetimes with proportional reversed hazard model property based on quantile past inaccuracy measure are obtained. Also, the class of lifetimes with increasing (decreasing) quantile past inaccuracy property and some of its properties are studied. In addition, via an example of real data, the application of quantile inaccuracy measure is illustrated.

Data loss and missing values is a common problem in data analysis. Therefore, it is important that by estimating missing values, the data was completed and placed in the proper path. Two approaches commonly used to deal with missing data are multiple imputation (MI) and inverse-probability weighting (IPW). In this study, a third approach which is a combination of MI and IPW will be introduced. It can be said by results of the simulation study that IPW/MI can have advantages over alternatives. Regarding the missing values in most studies, especially in the medical field, ignoring them leads to wrong analysis. So, using of robust methods to proper analysis of missing values is essential.

In this paper, it is shown that using the cliams with Pareto distribution for computing the ruin probabilities could has detriment for the heads of insurance company. With computing the relative error of these cliams it is shown that the estimation of claims mean is not suitable in insurance models. We will show that existance of claims with Pareto distribution in the excess of loss reinsurance model may be detriment for the policyholders of company. Also in this portfolio, with computing the conditional expectation of claims measure show that using the claims with Pareto distribution is not suitable in the estimation of claims. The estimation of conditional expectation of random variable of claims is computed by simulation method for some of the statistical distributions. The results are investigated with real examples.

‎This paper is investigating the mixture autoregressive model with constant mixing weights in state space form and generalization to ARMA mixture model‎. ‎Using a sequential Monte Carlo method‎, ‎the forecasting‎, ‎filtering and smoothing distributions are approximated and parameters f the model is estimated via the EM algorithm‎. ‎The results show the dimension of parameter vector in state space representation reduces‎. ‎The results of the simulation study show that the proposed filtering algorithm has a steady state close to the real values of the state vector‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎according to simulation results‎, ‎the mean vectors of filtering and smoothing distribution converges to state vector quickly‎.

The study of regression diagnostic, including identification of the influential observations and outliers, is of particular importance. The sensitivity of least squares estimators to the outliers and influential observations lead to extending the regression diagnostic in order to provide criteria to assess the anomalous observations. Detecting influential observations and outliers in the presence of collinearity is a complicated task, in the sense that collinearity may cover some of the unusual data. One of the considerable methods to identify outliers is the mean shift outliers method. In this article, we extend the mean shift outliers method to the ridge estimates under linear stochastic restrictions, which is used to reduce the effect of collinearity, and to provide the test statistic to identify the outliers in these estimators. Finally, we show the ability of our proposed method using a practical example of real data.

One of the applicable tools, in order to develop the economy's politics, is Iranian's cooperation in increasing their level of public knowledge and the humanization of economic. Economical index, rate, price, and percentage are not informative only. From this point of view, one of the scientific ways to study the economic data is "Statistical Modeling" through the applicable concept of "Copula Function". In this paper, through the copula functions and the applicable concept of dependence, called "Directional dependence", the dependence structure between variations in family's income and the expenses allocated to buy cultural and miscellaneous goods would be widely studied. Simulation results show that by decreasing the level of income, Iranian families tend to decrease their cultural costs rather than unnecessary miscellaneous costs. 

Recalling the definition of shape as a point on hyper-sphere, proposed by Kendall, the regression model is studied in this paper. In order to simplify the modeling, the triangulation via two landmarks is proposed. The triangulation not only simplifies the regression modelling of the shapes but also provides straightforward computation procedure to reconstruct geometrical structure of the objects. Novelty of the proposed method in this paper is on using the predictor variable, based upon the shape, which suitably describes the geometrical variability of the response. The comparison and evaluation of the proposed methods with the full Procrustes matching through the mean square error criteria are done. Application of two models for the configurations of rat skulls is investigated.

Uncertainty is an inherent characteristic of biological and geospatial data which is almost made by measurement error in the observed values of the quantity of interest. Ignoring measurement error can lead to biased estimates and inflated variances and so an inappropriate inference. In this paper, the Gaussian spatial model is fitted based on covariate measurement error. For this purpose, we adopt the Bayesian approach and utilize the Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms and data augmentations to carry out calculations. The methodology is illustrated using simulated data.

In the last decade, Poisson regression has been used for modeling count response variables. Poisson regression is not a suitable choice when count data bears superfluity of zero numbers. In this article, two models zero-inflated Poisson regression and bivariate zero-inflated Poisson regression with random effect are used to modeling count responses with a superfluity of zero numbers. Usually, distribution of the random effect is considered normal, but we intend to employ more flexible skew-normal distribution for the distribution of the random effect. Finally, the purpose model is applied to data which as obtained from the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz concerning the number of failed courses and fail grade point average semesters. we used a simulation method to verify parameter estimations. 

Often‎, ‎in high dimensional problems‎, ‎where the number of variables is large the number of observations‎, ‎penalized estimators based on shrinkage methods have better efficiency than the OLS estimator from the prediction error viewpoint‎. In these estimators‎, ‎the tuning or shrinkage parameter plays a deterministic role in variable selection‎. ‎The bridge estimator is an estimator which simplifies to ridge or LASSO estimators varying the tuning parameter‎. ‎In these paper‎, ‎the shrinkage bridge estimator is derived under a linear constraint on regression coefficients and its consistency is proved‎. ‎Furthermore‎, ‎its efficiency is evaluated in a simulation study and a real example‎.

‎Testing the Hypothesis of independence of a p-variate vector subvectors‎, ‎as a pretest for many others related tests‎, ‎is always as a matter of interest‎. ‎When the sample size n is much larger than the dimension p‎, ‎the likelihood ratio test (LRT) with chisquare approximation‎, ‎has an acceptable performance‎. ‎However‎, ‎for moderately high-dimensional data by which n is not much larger than p‎, ‎the chisquare approximation for null distribution of the LRT statistic is no more usable‎. ‎As a general case‎, ‎here‎, ‎a simultaneous subvectors independence testing procedure in all k p-variate normal distributions is considered‎. ‎To test this hypothesis‎, ‎a normal approximation for the null distribution of the LRT statistic was proposed‎. ‎A simulation study was performed to show that the proposed normal approximation outperforms the chisquare approximation‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎the proposed testing procedure was applied on prostate cancer data‎.

The non-homogeneous bivariate compound Poisson process with short term periodic intensity function is used for modeling the events with seasonal patterns or periodic trends. In this paper, this process is carefully introduced. In order to characterize the dependence structure between jumps, the Levy copula function is provided. For estimating the parameters of the model, the inference for margins method is used. As an application, this model is fitted to an automobile insurance dataset with inference for margins method and its accuracy is compared with the full maximum likelihood method. By using the goodness of fit test, it is confirmed that this model is appropriate for describing the data.

The advent of new technology in recent years has facilitated the production of high dimension data. In these data we need evaluating more than one assumption.  Multiple testing can be used for the collection of assumptions that are simultaneously tested and controlled the rate of family wise error that is the most critical issue in such tests. In this report, the authors apply Sidak and Stepwise strategies for controlling family wise error rate in detecting outlier profiles and comparing to each other. Considering our simulation results, the performance of such methods are compared using the parametric bootstrap snd by applying on real data in dataset illustrate the implementation of the proposed methods.
