The robust multi-array average (RMA), since its introduction in Irizarry, Bolstad,Collin, Cope, Hobbs, and Speed (2003a); Irizarry, Hobbs, Collin, Beazer-Barclay, An-tonellis, Scherf, and Speed (2003b); Irizarry, Wu, and Jaee (2006), has gained popularityamong bioinformaticians. It has evolved from the exponential-normal convolution to thegamma-normal convolution, from single to two channels and from the Aymetrix to theIllumina platform.The Illumina design provides two probe types: the regular and the control probes.This design is very suitable for studying the probability distribution of both and one canapply a convolution model to compute the true intensity estimator.In this paper, we study the existing convolution models for background correction ofIllumina BeadArrays in the literature and give a new estimator for the true intensity,assuming that the intensity value is exponentially or gamma distributed and the noise haslognormal distribution.Our study shows that one of our proposed models, the gamma-lognormal with themethod of moments for parameters estimation, is the optimal one for the benchmark-ing data set with benchmarking criteria, while the gamma-normal model has the bestperformance for the benchmarking data set with simulation criteria.For the publicly available data sets, the gamma-normal and the exponential-gammamodels with maximum likelihood estimation method can not be used and our proposedmodels exponential-lognormal and gamma-lognormal have the best performance, showinga moderate error in background correction and in the parametrization.

Recently, new continuous distributions have been proposed to apply in statistical analysis. In this paper, the Generalized Odd Gamma-G distribution is introduced. In particular, G has been considered as the Uniform distribution and some statistical properties such as quantile function, asymptotics, moments, entropy and order statistics have been calculated.The fitness capability of this model has been investigated  by fitting this model and others based on real data sets. The  parameters of this model are estimated by the maximum likelihood estimation method with simulated  real data in order to test validity of maximum likelihood estimators .

This paper presents a new generalization of the extended Bur II distribution. We redefined the Bur II distribution using the Alpha Power Transformation (APT) to obtain a new distribution called the Alpha Power Transformed Extended Bur II distribution. We derived several mathematical properties for the new model which includes moments, moment generating function, order statistics, entropy etc. and used a maximum likelihood estimation method to obtain the parameters of the distribution. Two real-world data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the usefulness of the new distribution.

AbstractTeachers’ performances also depend on whether and how they are satisfied with their job. Therefore, Teacher Job Satisfaction must be considered as the driver of teachers’ accomplishments. To plan future policies and improve the overall teaching process, it is crucial to understand which factors mostly contribute to Teacher Job Satisfaction. A Common Assessment Framework and Education questionnaire was administered to 163 Italian public secondary school teachers to collect data, and a second-order factor analysis was used to detect which factors impact on Teacher Job Satisfaction, and to what extent. This model-based approach guarantees to detect factors which respect important properties: unidimensionality and reliability. All the coefficients are estimated according to the maximum likelihood estimation method in order to make inference on the parameters and on the validity of the model. Moreover, a new multi-group test for higher-order factor analysis was proposed and implemented. Finally, we analyzed in detail whether the factors impacting Teacher Job Satisfaction are characterized by gender.

For the study of the applications of partial network coding based real-time multicast protocol (PNCRM) in Mobile Ad hoc networks, the researches should be developed in the probability distribution of delay. In this paper, NS2 is used to obtain the delay of data packets through simulations. Because the delay does not obey the strict normal distribution, the maximum likelihood estimate method based on the lognormal distribution is used to process the data. Using MATLAB to obtain the actual distribution of the natural logarithm of delay, then drawing the delay distribution with the maximum likelihood estimation method based on the lognormal distribution, the conclusion that the distributions obtained by the above mentioned methods are basically consistent can be obtained. So the delay distribution of PNCRM meets the lognormal distribution and the characteristic of delay probability distribution can be estimated.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

In this paper, we propose and study a new bivariate Weibull model, called Bi-levelWeibullModel, which arises when one failure occurs after the other. Under some specific regularity conditions, the reliability function of the second event can be above the reliability function of the first event, and is always above the reliability function of the transformed first event, which is a univariate Weibull random variable. This model is motivated by a common physical feature that arises fromseveral real applications. The two marginal distributions are a Weibull distribution and a generalized three-parameter Weibull mixture distribution. Some useful properties of the model are derived, and we also present the maximum likelihood estimation method. A real example is provided to illustrate the application of the model.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method

Abstract. The Lo's R/S tests (Lo, 1991), GPH test (Geweke and Porter-Hudak, 1983) and the maximum likelihood estimation method implemented in S-Plus (S-MLE) are evaluated through intensive Mote Carlo simulations for detecting the existence of long-memory. It is shown that, it is difficult to find an appropriate lag q for Lo's test for different AR and ARFIMA processes, which makes the use of Lo's test very tricky. In general, the GPH test outperforms the Lo's test, but for cases where there is strong autocorrelations (e.g., AR(1) processes with φ=0.97 or even 0.99), the GPH test is totally useless, even for time series of large data size. Although S-MLE method does not provide a statistic test for the existence of long-memory, the estimates of d given by S-MLE seems to give a good indication of whether or not the long-memory is present. Data size has a significant impact on the power of all the three methods. Generally, the power of Lo's test and GPH test increases with the increase of data size, and the estimates of d with GPH test and S-MLE converge with the increase of data size. According to the results with the Lo's R/S test (Lo, 1991), GPH test (Geweke and Porter-Hudak, 1983) and the S-MLE method, all daily flow series exhibit long-memory. The intensity of long-memory in daily streamflow processes has only a very weak positive relationship with the scale of watershed.
