IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE DISTRIBUTIONS ON QUANTILE-QUANTILE NORMALITY PLOT
Journal Title: Colloquium Biometricum; Colloquium Biometricum (Online) - Year 2015, Vol 45, Issue
Abstract
Many statistical programs use normal quantile-quantile plots for geometrical visualization of experimental data sets. In the paper we observe how normal quantile-quantile points behave when data sets come from alternative distributions, characterized by different kind of departure from normality. Theoretical lines for these distributions are presented in order to observe relationship between type of departure from normality and location points in a normal Q-Q plot. Additionally, the Shapiro-Wilk’s test is applied to check normality of the data sets.

Biomarkers can indicate a variety of health or disease characteristics, including the level or type of exposure to an environmental factor, genetic susceptibility, genetic responses to exposures, markers of subclinical o...
REGULAR D-OPTIMAL WEIGHING DESIGNS WITH NON-NEGATIVE CORRELATIONS OF ERRORS CONSTRUCTED FROM SOME BLOCK DESIGNS
In this paper, the issues related to the regular D-optimal chemical balance weighing design are considered. We study these designs under assumption: the measurement errors are equally non-negative correlated they have th...
A REMARK ON ESTIMATING DEFECTIVENESS IN SAMPLING ACCEPTANCE INSPECTION
Summary The problem of estimating a probability of success in a Binomial model is considered. The classical estimator is compared with the estimator which uses the information about non-homogeneity of the sample. An appl...

In this text we will derive estimators of unknown parameters for growth curve model with different decrease of dependency in groups and we will compare them for the case of two groups. We will use method of maximum likel...
