In this paper, we introduce a Goodness-of-Fit test for the Multivariate Exponential Power (MEP) distribution, a multivariate extension of the Generalized Gaussian, which has recently gained considerable interest as a model for wavelet coefficients in the context of color image retrieval and spread-spectrum watermarking. We present a size and power study of this test and show Goodness-of-Fit res...

For any generalized linear model, the Pearson goodness of fit statistic is the score test statistic for testing the current model against the saturated model. The relationship between the Pearson statistic and the residual deviance is therefore the relationship between the score test and the likelihood ratio test statistics, and this clarifies the role of the Pearson statistic in generalized li...

We study a bijective map from integer partitions to the prime factorizations of integers that we call “supernorm” partition, in which multiplicities parts are mapped factors natural numbers. The supernorm is connected family maps define, suggests potential apply techniques partition theory identify and prove multiplicative properties integers. As an application “supernormal” mappings (i.e., per...

BACKGROUND The CRUSADE, ACTION and ACUITY-HORIZONS scores are commonly used for predicting in-hospital major bleeding events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but the homogeneous nature of these models' population limits simple extrapolation to other local population. We aimed to compare the performance of the three risk models in Chinese patients. METHODS We evaluated the perfo...

G08CDF also returns the standardized statistic Z 1⁄4 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi n1 þ n2 n1n2 r D, where D may be Dn1;n2 , D þ n1;n2 or D n1;n2 depending on the choice of the alternative hypothesis. The distribution of this statistic converges asymptotically to a distribution given by Smirnov as n1 and n2 increase; see Feller (1948), Kendall and Stuart (1973), Kim and Jenri...
