Contribution To Applied Statistics

This proceedings volume features top contributions in modern statistical methods from Statistics 2021 Canada, the 6th Annual Canadian Conference in Applied Statistics, held virtually on July 15-18, 2021. Papers are contributed from established and emerging scholars, covering cutting-edge and contemporary innovative techniques in statistics and data science. Major areas of contribution include Bayesian statistics; computational statistics; data science; semi-parametric regression; and stochastic methods in biology, crop science, ecology and engineering. It will be a valuable edited collection for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in a wide array of applied statistical and data science methods.

In spite of all emphasis on objectivity, a scientific discipline needs for its development outstanding research workers with exceptional personal qualities. A scientist with these qualities is honoured here, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, by his pupils, friends and colleagues: Arthur Linder is respected as a researcher, advisor and teacher in the field of Applied Statistics. Professor Dr. Dr. h. c. A. Linder has demonstrated the utility of statistical methods in science and technology; these are recognised today as being essen tial for an objective evaluation of data. His contacts with Sir R.A. Fisher, C. 1. Bliss, G.M. Cox, W.G. Cochran, P.C. Mahalanobis and many other ex perts, have helped him to achieve his almost legendary authority on sampling and on the evaluation of statistical data. Linder has won many friends and adherents to the cause of Biometry, Econometry and Technometry, firstly through his teaching activity at the universities of Berne, Geneva and Lausanne and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and as visiting lecturer at the Indian Statistical Institute, the International Statistical Education Centre in Calcutta, the Uni versity of North Carolina and the University of Natal in Durban, secondly through his contributions to the literature as author of the monographs 'Sta tistische Methoden' and 'Planen und Auswerten von Versuchen', as editor of METRIKA and co-editor of other journals, and thirdly through his active collaboration in the founding of The Biometric Society, to the presidency of.

Contributions to Survey Sampling and Applied Statistics: Papers in Honor of H. O. Hartley covers the significant advances in survey sampling, modeling, and applied statistics. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 20 chapters. The opening part looks into some aspects of statistics, sampling, randomization, predictive estimation, and internal congruency. This part also considers the properties of variance estimation for a specified multiple frame survey design and some sampling designs involving unequal probabilities of selection and robust estimation of a finite population total. The next parts present the analysis and the theoretical and practical aspects of linear models, as well as the applications of time series analysis. These topics are followed by discussions of the testing for outliers in linear regression; the robustness of location estimators; and completeness comparisons among sample sequences. The closing part deals with the properties of norm estimators in regression and geometric programming. This part also provides tables of the normal conditioned on t-distribution. This book will prove useful to mathematicians and statisticians.

This volume includes contributions selected after a double blind review process and presented as a preliminary version at the 45th Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society. The papers provide significant and innovative original contributions and cover a broad range of topics including: statistical theory; methods for time series and spatial data; statistical modeling and data analysis; survey methodology and official statistics; analysis of social, demographic and health data; and economic statistics and econometrics.

Contributions to Statistics focuses on the processes, methodologies, and approaches involved in statistics. The book is presented to Professor P. C. Mahalanobis on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The selection first offers information on the recovery of ancillary information and combinatorial properties of partially balanced designs and association schemes. Discussions focus on combinatorial applications of the algebra of association matrices, sample size analogy, association matrices and the algebra of association schemes, and conceptual statistical experiments. The book then examines lattice sampling by means of Lahiri's sampling scheme; contributions of interpenetrating networks of samples; and apparently unconnected problems encountered in sampling work. The publication takes a look at screening processes, place of the design of experiments in the logic of scientific inference, and rarefaction. Topics include mathematical probability, scientific experience, combinatorial progress, gains and losses, criterion and scores, simple drug screening process, and screening of crop varieties. The manuscript then reviews the estimation and interpretation of gross differences and the simple response variance; partially balanced asymmetrical factorial designs; and approximation of distributions of sums of independent summands by infinitely divisible distributions. The selection is a dependable reference for statisticians and researchers interested in the processes, methodologies, and approaches employed in statistics.
