A -expectation tolerance interval procedure is derived from the concept of generalized pivotal quantity, which has been frequently used to obtain confidence intervals in situations where standard procedures do not lead to useful solutions. The proposed procedure can be applied to general balanced mixed linear models. Some practical examples are given to illustrate the proposed procedure. In add...

While linear mixed modeling methods are foundational concepts introduced in any statistical education, adequate general methods for interval estimation involving models with more than a few variance components are lacking, especially in the unbalanced setting. Generalized fiducial inference provides a possible framework that accommodates this absence of methodology. Under the fabric of generali...

Discriminative filtering is a pattern recognition technique which aim maximize the energy of output signal when a pattern is found. Looking improve the performance of filter response, was incorporated the principal component analysis in discriminative filters design. In this work, we investigate the influence of the quantity of principal components in the performance of discriminative filtering...

The log-normal distribution (skewed or asymmetry distribution) is used to describe random variables comprising positive real values. It well known that the logarithm values of these are normally distributed (symmetry distribution). Positively right-skewed data applicable frequently observed in fields environmental studies, biology, and medicine. number zero observations follows a binomial distr...
