Towards Deming Prize - Case of Tata Steel
(Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad, 2014)
In this case we describe the gradual transformation of India's largest private sector steel manufacturer Tata Steel that enabled it to win the coveted Deming Prize for quality. The case discusses how the company is able ...
Response-adaptive allocation for circular data
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Response-adaptive designs are used in phase III clinical trials to allocate a larger proportion of patients to the better treatment. Circular data is a natural outcome in many clinical trial setup, e.g., some measurements ...
Bayesian analysis of the change-point problem for directional data
(Journal of Applied Statistics, 2008-11-11)
In this paper, we discuss a simple fully Bayesian analysis of the change-point problem for the directional data in the parametric framework with von Mises or circular normal distribution as the underlying distribution. We ...
A likelihood integrated method for exploratory graphical analysis of change-point problem with directional data
(Communications in Statistics, Theory and Methods, 2008-11-11)
In this article we introduce a new likelihood based method, called the likelihood integrated method, which is distinct from the well-known integrated likelihood method. We use the likelihood integrated to propose a simple ...
SB-robustness of directional mean for circular distributions
(2011-09-07)
In this paper we study the robustness of the directional mean (a.k.a. circular mean) for
different families of circular distributions. We show that the directional mean is robust
in the sense of finite standardized gross ...
Note on Robust Statistical Methods
(2010-09-02)
In this note we introduce the notion of robustness which plays an important role in real life analysis of data. Two robust estimates of location, namely the trimmed mean and the M-estimation are discussed. The Influence ...
SB-robust estimator for the concentration parameter of the circular normal distribution
(Statistical Papers, 2012)
In this paper we discuss robust estimation of the concentration parameter ( κ) of the circular normal (CN) distribution. It is known that the MLE of the concentration parameter is not B-robust at the family of all circular ...
Creating and sustaining excellence in Indian academic institutions: some thoughts
(Association of Indian Universities, 2018-10)
For over 20 years, i have read articles in newspapers and magazines by Indian academicians, mostly academic administrators, habitually bemoaning the 'absence' of quality education in the country.They have periodically ...
