Test of multivariate normality using shape measures of the distribution
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)Karl Pearson, in 1990, proposed two numerical characteristics of the distribution of random variables i.e. asymmetry (skewness) and kurtosis (flatness). Their sample approximations allow to describe partially the empirical ... -
Sensitivity of the chisquare fit test to the division of hypothetical set of investigated variable values
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In the paper there is considered an influence of division of hypothetical set of investigated variable values on making a decision either to reject or not to reject the null hypothesis in the goodness-of-fit chi-square ... -
On testing the hypothesis of stability of the ratio of two random variables.
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The problem of testing the hypothesis of the stability of expected value of the ratio of random variables is considered in the article. The ratio of random variables X and Y under assumptions of the autoregression models ... -
Goldfeld-Quandt test: unbiasedness vs symmetry
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The Goldfeld-Quandt test for homoscedasticity in a classical linear regression appears to be biased. In the paper an unbiased test is constructed. The result is extended to families of distributions with scale parameter. -
Similarities among small area relative frequency distributions in small area synthetic estimation
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In the paper the estimation precision for the small area mean is considered for six synthetic estimators. For three estimators auxiliary data dealing with the whole population are used and for other estimators - data ... -
Dispersion of estimates of linear regression parameters in case of the deepest regression method
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The deepest regression method is such a method of estimation of regression parameters that the maximal regression depth characterises the obtained model. In this paper the deeepest regression method is presented and the ... -
Bootstrap confidence regions based on the Mahalanobis depth measure of two-dimensional samples
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)Construction of confidence regions for multi-dimensional samples is usually performed with a known stochastic distribution of a random vector in question. However, for multidimensional studies of socio-economic phenomena, ... -
Correlation among variables and methods of establishing weights of sample units. Monte Carlo analysis of the modified synthetic estimator
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In many statistical surveys one faces the problem of insufficient number of sample observations to make reliable inference about a given population domain of interest (small area). One possible solution, which has been ... -
On accuracy of some EBLU predictor
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In the paper we analyze the accuracy of the empirical best linear unbiased predictor (EBLUP) of the domain total (see Royall, 1976) assuming a special case of the general linear mixed model. To estimate the mean square ... -
The modification of stepwise multiple procedure
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In this paper we discuss stepdown methods that control the familywise error rate in finite samples. Such methods proceed stagewise by testing an intersection hypothesis without regard to hypotheses previously rejected. ... -
Estimation of parameters of Tömquist’s functions with Newton-Raphson’s method
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In the work there has been discussed Newton-Raphson’s iterative method of estimation of parameters of Tömquist’s functions of general class and there are derived formulas of their partial derivatives of Ist and 2nd rank. ... -
About robust detection of a breakdown point in selected linear regression models
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In this paper an approach appealing to a regression depth concept is applied to a robust detection of points (moments) of a regression coefficients change. The propositions are compared with propositions based on Schwarz ... -
On Some Composite Estimator of the Population Mean
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)In this paper an estimator of the finite population mean in the unit nonresponse situation is proposed. It is constructed as a combination of the well-known regression estimator derived from the linear model and a ... -
Power of tests for multivariate normality based on skewness and flatness coefficients
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)There are many methods of construction of multivariate normality tests. The current review of the literature proves that there are at least 60 procedures of verification of the hypothesis about multivariate normality of ... -
Wpływ rezerw na zobowiązania na dźwignię finansową przedsiębiorstwa
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The main goal of this paper is to present the influence of provisions and accruals and deferred income on the financial leverage and the capital structure of an enterprise. Each of this categories has a complex character ... -
Wyplata dywidendy i praktyka nabywania oraz umarzania akcji własnych a wartość przedsiębiorstwa
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The main goal of this paper is to present the essence of share repurchase and dividend policy at the public companies and their influence on the value of an enterprise. The buyback can be considered as a form оГ dividend ... -
Pomiar poziomu rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego gmin na przykładzie województwa łódzkiego
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)The article is composed of three major parts. The first part is dedicated to analyzing the concept of local development. It provides an overview of factors determining development of communes and argues that development ... -
Centra logistyczne w Polsce - uwarunkowania rozwoju oraz aspekty lokalizacyjne
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego, 2008)Logistic centers, which became strategic factor of regional development, has crucial impact on regional and local competitiveness. A statement that logistic centers are the future of regional development is today more a ... -
Świadomość stylów uczenia się - korzyści dla nauczyciela i studenta
