iranian female participation rate in the labor market of iran in the recent decade shows a increasing trend which amounted from 8% in 1999 to 18% in 2005.using parametric and non-parametric econometrics methods, in this research we aim to study the behavior of individual married females labor participation. our dataset consist of the annually budget survey of 2006 which is reported by statistic...

weather data generators (wgs) have been developed for an extension of time series of such weather variables as rainfall, temperature and relative humidity to provide better understanding of systems affected by climatic factors. different algorithms have been applied in these generators, broadly divided into parametric & non-parametric ones. in this study, the performance of non-parametric gener...

Treatment means in factorial experiments are lattice ordered when there is an increase in mean response as the level of any factor is increased while holding the other factors fixed. Such means occur naturally in many experiments. A nonparametric test for lattice-ordered means involving a Kendall-type statistic will be summarized for k-factor factorial experiments. Specifically, the form of the...

It is shown that the global power function of any nonparametric test is at on balls of alternatives except for alternatives coming from a nite dimensional sub-space. The present benchmark is here the upper one-sided (or two-sided) envelope power function. It turns out that also the level points are far away from the corresponding Neyman Pearson test level points except for a nite number of orth...

A new nonparametric test for two sample problem based on order statistics is suggested. This test can be successful in the case of small samples. The probabilities of the statistic are given. Comparisons with KolmogorovSmirnov, Mann Whitney-Wilcoxon, and Wilks’ empty block test for small sample sizes are made by the simulation.

Asymptotic Relative Efficiency ] was pleased to read "Promise in Nonparametrics" by Royeen and Seaver (March, ] 986). As the authors state, analysis of data by non parametric methods when the strong assumptions for parametric counterparts cannot be met provides the researcher with effective statistical procedures that may be more realistic and valid in a given situation. It is also interesting ...
