    Abstract In this note we introduce a new smooth nonparametric quantile function estimator based on a newly defined generalized expectile function and termed the sigmoidal quantile function estimator. We also introduce a hybrid quantile function estimator, which combines the optimal properties of the classic kernel quantile function estimator with our new generalized sigmoidal quantile function estimator. The generalized sigmoidal quantile function can estimate quantiles beyond the range of the data, which is important for certain applications given smaller sample sizes. This property of extrapolation is illustrated in order to improve standard bootstrap smoothing resampling methods.

    Abstract Background and objective: Our goal is to provide an overall strategy for utilizing continuous accelerated life models in the discrete setting that provides a unique and flexible modeling approach across a variety of hazard shapes.
    Methods: We convert well-known continuous accelerated life distributions into their discrete counterpart and show theoretically that the existing software that currently exists to accommodate, left, right and interval censoring in the continuous case is re-usable in the discrete setting due to the structure of the likelihood equations.
    Results: We demonstrate across a variety of simulated and real-world data that our modeling approach can accommodate discrete data that may either be approximately symmetric, left-skewed or right skewed, overcoming the limitations of more traditional modeling approaches.
    Conclusions: We illustrate both theoretically and through simulations that our approach for accommodating discrete failure time and count data is quite flexible. We demonstrate that the special case of the discrete Weibull model readily can accommodate truly Poisson distributed data and has a great degree of flexibility for non-Poisson distributed data.

    Abstract Data-driven most powerful tests are statistical hypothesis decision-making tools that deliver the greatest power against a fixed null hypothesis among all corresponding data-based tests of a given size. When the underlying data distributions are known, the likelihood ratio principle can be applied to conduct most powerful tests. Reversing this notion, we consider the following questions.

    Abstract In this paper, we build upon the work of DiCiccio and Romano (2017) by extending their permutation test approach, based on the Pearson correlation coefficient in the continuous case, to ordinal measures of association. We investigate commonly used ordinal measures such as the Spearman correlation, Kendall's tau-b, and gamma, which are widely implemented in commercial and open-source software packages for exact testing routines based on generalized hypergeometric probabilities. Similar to DiCiccio and Romano's method, we apply studentization to correct the test statistic, which yields asymptotically valid inference for testing no ordinal association. We present a comprehensive theoretical framework for our approach, followed by a simulation study. Furthermore, we use toy examples to highlight the differences between the exact tests and the asymptotically valid tests. Our findings align with those of DiCiccio and Romano, indicating that exact permutation tests based on ordinal measures of association are often not exact, whereas the asymptotically correct tests perform well for moderate to large sample sizes.

    Abstract In this note we provide a novel semi-parametric best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of location and its corresponding variance estimator under the assumption the random variate is generated from a symmetric location-scale family of distributions. The approach follows in a two-stage fashion and is based on the exact bootstrap estimate of the covariance matrix of the order statistic. We generalize our approach to add a robustness component in order to derive a trimmed BLUE of location under a semi-parametric symmetry assumption.

    Abstract In the paired data setting, the sign test is often described in statistical textbooks as a test for comparing differences between the medians of two marginal distributions. There is an implicit assumption that the median of the differences is equivalent to the difference of the medians when employing the sign test in this fashion. We demonstrate however that given asymmetry in the bivariate distribution of the paired data, there are often scenarios where the median of the differences is not equal to the difference of the medians. Further, we show that these scenarios will lead to a false interpretation of the sign test for its intended use in the paired data setting. We illustrate the false-interpretation concept via theory, a simulation study, and through a real-world example based on breast cancer RNA sequencing data obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).
