In this paper, a new estimator of the Shannon entropy of a random variable X having a probability density function \(\mathit{f}\)(\(\mathit{x}\)) is obtained based on window size spacings. Under the standard normal, standard exponential and uniform distributions, the estimator is...

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...

This paper compares the empirical power performances of eight tests for multivariate normality classified under Baringhaus-Henze-Epps-Pulley (BHEP) class of tests. The tests are compared under eight different alternative distributions. The result shows that the eight statistics h...

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...
