A significant number of adolescents are considered insufficiently active. This is of concern
considering the negative association between physical activity and major depressive …

Underwater signal processing based on passive acoustic technology has carried out a lot of
research on the behavioral sound of underwater creatures and the protection of marine …

Given k independent samples with finite but arbitrary dimension, this paper deals with the
problem of testing for the equality of their distributions that can be continuous, discrete or …

In this paper we are interested in checking whether the conditional variances are equal in
k\ge2 location-scale regression models. Our procedure is fully nonparametric and is based …

We develop procedures for testing whether a sequence of independent random variables
has constant variance. If this is fulfilled, the modulus of a Fourier-type transformation of the …

We study certain properties of probability weighted quantities and suggest a nonparametric
estimator of the probability weighted characteristic function introduced by Meintanis et …

We revisit the classical statistical inference problem of comparing regression curves.
Traditional methods assume that the number of curves is small and fixed, while the sample …

A test for the equality of error distributions in two nonparametric regression models is
proposed. The test statistic is based on comparing the empirical characteristic functions of …

The problem of testing for the parametric form of the conditional variance is considered in a
fully nonparametric regression model. A test statistic based on a weighted L_2 L 2-distance …

Abstract Arriaza et al (Metrika 82: 99–124, 2019) introduced the right and left shape
functions, which enjoy interesting properties in terms of describing the global form of a …
