DOI: 10.1017/ice.2022.67
Abstract: Abstract Objective: Some manufacturers provide information on similar-fit model pairings of filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs), suggesting that fit-test outcome of one model helps predict the other. This guidance may be useful during crisis capacity when… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02664763.2020.1821613
Abstract: There have been numerous tests proposed to determine whether or not the exponential model is suitable for a given data set. In this article, we propose a new test statistic based on spacings to tes... read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/09658211.2016.1241281
Abstract: ABSTRACT Autobiographical memory tests provide a naturalistic counterpoint to the artificiality of laboratory research methods, yet autobiographical events are uncontrolled and, in most cases, unverifiable. In this study, we capitalised on a scripted, complex naturalistic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1504/ijids.2019.10023540
Abstract: In this paper, a goodness-of-fit test for the Laplace distribution based on the informational energy is proposed. Consistency and other properties of the proposed test are shown. It is shown that the distribution of the… read more here.
