Two-Sample Problems in Statistical Data Modelling
Journal Title: Mathematical Modelling and Analysis - Year 2010, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
A common problem in mathematical statistics is to check whether two samples differ from each other. From modelling point of view it is possible to make a statistical test for the equality of two means or alternatively two distribution functions. The second approach allows to represent the two-sample test graphically. This can be done by adding simultaneous confidence bands to the probability-probability ([i]P[/i] − [i]P[/i]) or quantile-quantile ([i]Q[/i]−[i]Q[/i]) plots. In this paper we compare empirically the accuracy of the classical two-sample t-test, empirical likelihood method and several bootstrap methods. For a real data example both [i]Q[/i]−[i]Q[/i] and [i]P[/i] − [i]P[/i] plots with simultaneous confidence bands have been plotted using the smoothed empirical likelihood and smoothed bootstrap methods.

Genetic Algorithm-based Calibration of Reduced Order Galerkin Models
Low-dimensional models, allowing quick prediction of fluid behaviour, are key enablers of closed-loop flow control. Reduction of the model's dimension and inconsistency of high-fidelity data set and the reduced-order for...

A theoretical model describing the relaxation of charge carriers in semiconductors of high resistance under the influence of the laser pulses is presented. It is demonstrated that parameters of the trapping states releva...
On Solutions of Neumann Boundary Value Problem for the Liénard Type Equation
We provide conditions on the functions [i]f(x) [/i]and [i]g(x)[/i], which ensure the existence of solutions to the Neumann boundary value problem for the equation [i]x''+f(x)[sup][/sup]x[sup]'2[/sup]+g(x)=0.[/i]
