JSM 2005 Online Program

Abstract #303066

This is the preliminary program for the 2005 Joint Statistical Meetings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2005); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

To View the Program:
You may choose to view all activities of the program or just parts of it at any one time. All activities are arranged by date and time.

The views expressed here are those of the individual authors
and not necessarily those of the ASA or its board, officers, or staff.

The Program has labeled the meeting rooms with "letters" preceding the name of the room, designating in which facility the room is located:

Minneapolis Convention Center = “MCC” Hilton Minneapolis Hotel = “H” Hyatt Regency Minneapolis = “HY”

Title:	A Nonparametric Statistic for Joint Mean-Variance Quality Control

Abstract:	For statistical process control, a number of single charts that jointly monitor both process mean and variability have been developed. For quality control-related hypothesis testing, however, there has been less analogous development of joint mean-variance tests; only one two-sample statistic known to this author has been designed specifically for the one-sided test of Ho: Mean1 < = Mean2 and Variance1 < = Variance2 vs. Ha: Mean1 > Mean2 OR Variance1 > Variance2 (Opdyke 2005). This paper further develops this statistic and demonstrates via Monte Carlo simulation that it always maintains good level control, it has good power under symmetry and moderate power under moderate asymmetry (for which a transformation is used), and it often has dramatically more power than the only proposed competitor. The statistic is easily implemented, and although initially designed for use in regulatory telecommunications, its range of application is as broad as the number of settings requiring a test of the joint hypotheses listed above.
