Item Robust approach for comparing two dependent normal populations through Wald-type tests based on Rényi's pseudodistance estimators(Statistics and Computing, 2022) Castilla González, Elena María; Jaenada Malagón, María; Martín Apaolaza, Nirian; Pardo Llorente, LeandroSince the two seminal papers by Fisher (1915, 1921) were published, the test under a fixed value correlation coefficient null hypothesis for the bivariate normal distribution constitutes an important statistical problem. In the framework of asymptotic robust statistics, it remains being a topic of great interest to be investigated. For this and other tests, focused on paired correlated normal random samples, Rényi's pseudodistance estimators are proposed, their asymptotic distribution is established and an iterative algorithm is provided for their computation. From them the Wald-type test statistics are constructed for different problems of interest and their influence function is theoretically studied. For testing null correlation in different contexts, an extensive simulation study and two real data based examples support the robust properties of our proposal.Item Power divergence approach for one-shot device testing under competing risks(Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2022) Balakrishnan, Narayanaswamy; Castilla González, Elena María; Martín Apaolaza, Nirian; Pardo Llorente, LeandroMost work on one-shot devices assume that there is only one possible cause of device failure. However, in practice, it is often the case that the products under study can experience any one of various possible causes of failure. Robust estimators and Wald-type tests are developed here for the case of one-shot devices under competing risks. An extensive simulation study illustrates the robustness of these divergence-based estimators and test procedures based on them. A data-driven procedure is proposed for choosing the optimal estimator for any given data set which is then applied to an example in the context of survival analysis.
