✦ Synopsis

The problem considered in this paper is the estimation of the underlying order of rn physiological changes from incomplete observations. The observations are incomplete in the sense that, for each individual in the sample, only the identity, but not the order, of the first k < rn changes are observed, with k varying between individuals. An application to some data on physiological changes in fish undergoing sex change is presented.

In evaluating prognostic factors by means of regression models, missing values in the covariate data are a frequent complication. There exist statistical tools to analyse such incomplete data in an efficient manner, and in this paper we make use of the traditional maximum likelihood principle. As we

A Bayesian approach is used to estimate the first two moments of the minimum order statistic, W = min( Y I , . . . , Y,). In order to compute the Bayes estimates, one has to evaluate the predictive densit

In most studies of molecular evolution, the nucleotide base at a site is assumed to change with the apparent rate under functional constraint, and the comparison of base changes between homologous genes is thought to yield the evolutionary distance corresponding to the siteaverage change rate multip
