This article describes the results of research to improve estimates of the distribution of family income. In this research, a microdata file was constructed for 1972 using several data sources. The data obtained from these sources were combined and adjusted to produce more precise estimates. Current Population Survey estimates were then evaluated using these improved estimates. Using the improv...

One of the major issues examined in the quantitative ecology is the spatial distribution pattern of plant species. Knowledge of the spatial distribution patterns is essential to measure the level of uniformity in the surrounding environment, plant reproduction, and distribution of the seedlings, plant behavioral patterns, coexistence, allelopathic relations, and competition. Therefore, the aim ...

By Leah Jager∗ and Jon A. Wellner† Grinnell College and University of Washington A unified family of goodness-of-fit tests based on φ−divergences is introduced and studied. The new family of test statistics Sn(s) includes both the supremum version of the Anderson-Darling statistic and the test statistic of Berk and Jones (1979) as special cases (s = 2 and s = 1 respectively). We also introduce ...

OBJECTIVE Caveolins, the structural proteins of caveolae, modulate numerous signaling pathways including Nitric Oxide (NO) production. Among the caveolin family, caveolin-1 and -3 are mainly expressed in endothelial and muscle cells, respectively. In this study, we investigate whether (i) changes in caveolin abundance and/or distribution occur during cardiac aging and failure in rat, and (ii) t...

A unified family of goodness-of-fit tests based on φ-divergences is introduced and studied. The new family of test statistics Sn(s) includes both the supremum version of the Anderson–Darling statistic and the test statistic of Berk and Jones [Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 47 (1979) 47–59] as special cases (s = 2 and s = 1, resp.). We also introduce integral versions of the new statistics. We show t...
