Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian (MCMC algorithm) estimates of the increase of the Wright-Malécot inbreeding coefficient, F(t), between two temporally spaced samples, were developed from the Dirichlet approximation of allelic frequency distribution (model MD) and from the admixture of the Dirichlet approximation and the probabilities of fixation and loss of alleles (model MDL). Their accuracy wa...

Abstract Monotone function problems are introduced on a very elementary level to reveal the close connection certain statistical problems. Equations $$F(x) = c$$ F ( x ) = c and inequalities \ge <mml:mo...

Medical statistics (biostatistics), as a vital essential part of modem life, does raise some fundamental ethical issues. Surprisingly, this aspect seems to have been totally ignored by books on medical ethics. This paper discusses how the statistical aspects affect the ethics. The relation between biostatistics and medical research is explored. All stages of a medical research exercise are ...

We define what is a replacement policy for a system that fails randomly in time and its main characteristics. There are several parameters that drive the structure of the optimal policy. We provide a detailed discussion of the time horizon, objective functions, and failure time distributions as part of any replacement policy.

Two settings for string enumeration are considered in which string statistics can be constructed such that the generating series for the set of all strings have the form (F-r c a)’ in both cases, where F is a formal power series and u is a sequence. The two settings are qualitatively different. one involving pattern, which is locally testable, and the other involving commutation in strings, whi...
