It is shown that the global power function of any nonparametric test is flat on balls of alternatives except for alternatives coming from a finite dimensional subspace. The present benchmark is here the upper one-sided (or two-sided) envelope power function. Every choice of a test fixes a priori a finite dimensional region with high power. It turns out that also the level points are far away fr...

The Measurement-based Admission Control algorithm presented in this paper has been devised to overcome three shortcomings. Firstly, its configuration parameter strictly correspond to standard QoS definitions in Service Level Agreements, namely packet loss probability. While this is featured by alternative designs too, the second issue, that of considerable performance fluctuations under varying...

In this paper, a remedial measure is first proposed to eliminate the effect of autocorrelation in phase-ІІ monitoring of autocorrelated polynomial profiles, where there is a first order autoregressive (AR(1)) relation between the error terms in each profile. Then, a control chart based on the generalized linear test (GLT) is proposed to monitor the coefficients of polynomial profiles and an R-c...

This work is concerned with testing the population mean vector of nonnormal high-dimensional multivariate data. Several tests for high-dimensional mean vector, based on modifying the classical Hotelling T2 test, have been proposed in the literature. Despite their usefulness, they tend to have unsatisfactory power performance for heavy-tailed multivariate data, which frequently arise in genomics...
