AbstractFor a fixed number of classes and the number of trials increasing, the approach of the multinomial cumulative distribution function to a normal cumulative distribution function is familiar. In this paper we allow the number of classes to increase as the number of trials increases, and show that under certain circumstances the probabilities assigned to arbitrary regions by the multinomial distribution are all close to the probabilities assigned by the distribution of “rounded off” normal random variables. As the number of trials increases, the amount rounded off approaches zero. The result can be used to study the asymptotic distribution of functions of multinomial random variab

摘要:

AbstractThis paper deals with the Secretary Problem wherensecretaries are interviewed sequentially and the bestkmust be hired. The values of the secretaries are observed as they are interviewed, but beforehand only the distributions of these values are known. Furthermore, the distributions of two successive secretaries' values are governed by a Markov chain. Optimal hiring policies for finitenand limiting optimal policies askandnapproach infinity are obtained.

摘要:

AbstractIn this note we analyze the fractional interval programming problem (FIP) and find, explicitly, all its optimal solutions.Though our results are essentially the same as those in Charnes and Cooper [4], the proofs and analysis we provide here are considerably simpler.

摘要:

AbstractIn this note some extensions are made to previous work by a number of authors on the development of tests for exponentiality. The most recent example is due to Fercho and Ringer in which they compare the small sample powers of a few well‐known test statistics for the hypothesis of a constant failure rate. It is the primary intent of this current work to extend Gnedenko'sFtest to situations with hypercensoring and to provide guidance for its use, particularly when a log‐normal distribution is the alternat
