Two-Sample Problems in Statistical Data Modelling
Journal Title: Mathematical Modelling and Analysis - Year 2010, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
A common problem in mathematical statistics is to check whether two samples differ from each other. From modelling point of view it is possible to make a statistical test for the equality of two means or alternatively two distribution functions. The second approach allows to represent the two-sample test graphically. This can be done by adding simultaneous confidence bands to the probability-probability ([i]P[/i] − [i]P[/i]) or quantile-quantile ([i]Q[/i]−[i]Q[/i]) plots. In this paper we compare empirically the accuracy of the classical two-sample t-test, empirical likelihood method and several bootstrap methods. For a real data example both [i]Q[/i]−[i]Q[/i] and [i]P[/i] − [i]P[/i] plots with simultaneous confidence bands have been plotted using the smoothed empirical likelihood and smoothed bootstrap methods.

An elliptic system subject to the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary con- dition denoting the steady-state system of a two-species predator-prey reaction– diffusion system with the modified Leslie–Gower and Holling-type II s...
On Dependence of Sets of Functions on the Mean Value of their Elements
The paper considers, for a given closed bounded set $Msubset {mathbb R}^m$ and $K=(0,1)^nsubset {mathbb R}^n$, the set ${mathcal M}= { hin L_2(K;{mathbb R}^m)mid h(x) in M,,a.e.,xin K}$ and its subsets [ {mathcal M}(hat...
Approximate Solution of Nonlinear Multi-Point Boundary Value Problem on the Half-Line
In this work, we construct a novel weighted reproducing kernel space and give the expression of reproducing kernel function skillfully. Based on the orthogonal basis established in the reproducing kernel space, an effici...
On Solutions of Neumann Boundary Value Problem for the Liénard Type Equation
We provide conditions on the functions [i]f(x) [/i]and [i]g(x)[/i], which ensure the existence of solutions to the Neumann boundary value problem for the equation [i]x''+f(x)[sup][/sup]x[sup]'2[/sup]+g(x)=0.[/i]
Genetic Algorithm-based Calibration of Reduced Order Galerkin Models
Low-dimensional models, allowing quick prediction of fluid behaviour, are key enablers of closed-loop flow control. Reduction of the model's dimension and inconsistency of high-fidelity data set and the reduced-order for...
