This paper aims at obtaining the optimum number of states for a hidden Markov manpower model, which, hitherto, has been chosen arbitrarily. A search procedure that attains this optimum number after a few steps across a series of N hidden Markov manpower models is proposed. The li...

We aim at tackling the problem of inadequate specification of a Markov manpower model in this paper, by formulating a procedure for validating the inclusion or non-inclusion of some transition parameters in the model. The mover-stayer principle and its extensions are employed to...

In this paper, a more robust estimator of the Shannon entropy is applied in place of an earlier estimator, to obtain an improved goodness-of-fit test to normality which is based on the Balakrishnan-Sanghvi measure of divergence. The statistic is affine invariant and consistent ag...
