The data set used in this work is provided by the GasDay Project at Marquette University, which produces mathematical models to predict the consumption of natural gas for Local Distribution Companies (LDCs). Flow with no outliers is required to develop and train accurate models. GasDay is using statistical approaches motivated by normally distributed samples such as the 3 − σ rule and the 5 − σ rule to aid the experts in detecting outliers in residuals from the models. However, the Jarque-Bera statistical test shows that the residuals from the GasDay models are not normally distributed. We present an explanation of Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) and how it is used to detect time series outliers. We have introduced a new application for the DBSCAN algorithm by adapting it to detect outliers in natural gas flow. The performance of DBSCAN is compared with GasDay's existing technique. Five data sets from temperature-sensitive operating areas with identified outliers and 1000 data sets with synthetic outliers are used in the evaluation process. The 1000 synthetic data sets are prepared using the same empirical distribution as one of the identified data set. This work indicates that DBSCAN has shown some improvement in detecting outliers over GasDays existing technique and merits further exploration.

Consequently further developing health status of everything is a piece of population control program. Besides health status can improve or fall apart dependent on the attitudes and activities taken towards health. In demographic analysis, we come across some interesting problems which involve simultaneous consideration of several predictor variables to study their relationships with a dependent variable. Sometimes we are interested to know how well all the variables taken together explain variation in the dependent variable and also how each predictor variable is related to the dependent variable. In this paper, an endeavor has been made to examine the health status among the respondents of Bodo women of Udalguri District, Assam using "Multiple Classification Analysis, MCA". In fact, MCA is a technique for examining the inte...

Now if in this analysis the parametric assumptions are fulfilled we will prefer F test for the two sample scale problem. But if the behaviour of the data set does not fulfil these assumptions then we have to focus on some other tests. In this paper it is tried to throw light on the use of Adaptive tests on the context of this problem. This paper comprises of power comparison between F test, some traditional NonParametric tests and proposed Adaptive tests. Under the experiment equal and unequal sample sizes are taken considering different alternatives. This is done by the use of Monte Carlo simulation technique. At the end of the experiment, inspite of many limitations, some satisfactory results are obtained. All those results are displayed in tabular and graphical form.

Research paper thumbnail of Observations and Cutoffs of Different Influence Measures in Multiple Linear Regression

Any influential point can disproportionately pull the ordinary least squares line and distort the predictions. Thus the detection of outlying observations is very essential in the course of model building in various disciplines, such as, medical research, economics, sociology, computer science, etc. A point is an influential one if it causes dramatic change in the model after its deletion. Each of the available test statistics has different cutoff values that indicate the amount of outlyingness. Sometimes only one statistic is sufficient to provide the information about influential points but often it is necessary to examine the cutoff of more than one influence measure. The reason behind is that all the cutoff values are either a function of the sample size or number of predictors or both. Also validity of the cutoff value is subjected to some additional conditions. In this paper we try to critically examine those conditions with the help of simulation study. We shall use a few combinations of () , where is the sample size and is the no. of outliers for assessing the performances.

Paired data can be obtained from experimental units when measurements are obtained before and after the administration of a treatment. In this paper, comparison is made between adaptive tests, non parametric wilcoxon test and traditional paired sample t test. For comparison of power, Monte-Carlo simulation method is used here. The new adaptive procedure is shown to preserve the size of the test at its nominal level for all continuous distributions. This research work finally comes to the conclusion that in case of normal distribution traditional t test is more powerful than the others. Whereas in case of long tailed or skewed distribution the adaptive tests are more powerful.

Adaptive estimation is robust estimation that can be used to improve the accuracy of the estimate by reducing the influence of outliers. Adaptive estimators can be effective in achieving low mean squared error for a variety of non normal distributions of errors. M estimation is the extension of the maximum likelihood estimation and is also a robust estimation. In this paper, comparison is made between OLS Estimation, Adaptive estimation and M estimation under a particular situation (An example).

F-test, Mood test, Ansari-Bradley test, Siegel-Tukey test, Lepage type test, Cramer-Von-Mises test, Kamat test, Wald-W test, Wald-R test and Levene test.

We also simulated critical values for Kamat test, Wald-W test and Wald-R test for some sample sizes. Results are displayed in various tables and graphs. Discussion and conclusion are made on the basis of results obtained.

Thus, in order to test whether a samplecomes from a given distribution, one can test whether its transformed sample is distributed according to the uniform distribution or not. Several test procedures are developed to test the goodness of fit for uniformity. In this paper, we want to study the performance of eleven different tests for uniformity by considering different sample sizes as well as different alternatives. The results so obtained are displayed in various tables and graphs. Finally, conclusions are made on the basis of the results.
