Nonparametric entropy-based tests of independence between stochastic processes
(Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia da FGV, 2001-03-01)
This paper develops nonparametric tests of independence between two stationary stochastic processes. The testing strategy boils down to gauging the closeness between the joint and the product of the marginal stationary ...
Efficient nonparametric confidence bands for receiver operating-characteristic curves
(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2018)
Non-parametric tests for small samples of categorized variables: A study
(2016-07-01)
This paper presents a study on non-parametric tests to verify the similarity between two small samples of variables classified into multiple categories. The study shows that the only tests available for this situation are ...
Testing for symmetry and conditional symmetry using asymmetric kernels
(Springer Heidelberg, 2015-08)
We derive nonparametric tests of symmetry using asymmetric kernels with either vanishing or fixed bandwidths. The idea is to split the sample around the symmetry point and then test whether the distributions to the right ...
Nonparametric pragmatic hypothesis testing
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma Interinstitucional de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PIPGEsCâmpus São Carlos, 2022-06-13)
In statistical testing, a pragmatic hypothesis is an extension of a precise one, taking cases on the vicinity of the null as being equally worthy of appraisal. Unlike standard procedures, pragmatic hypotheses allow the ...

Changes in occlusal vertical dimension in microwave processing of complete dentures.
(2002-11-13)
This study investigated the effect of different microwave curing cycles on the changes in occlusal vertical dimension of complete dentures. Four test groups with 12 maxillary dentures each were evaluated. Groups 1, 2 and ...
