Abstract

Abstract: In the present paper we establish an inference procedure for the eigenvalues of the model matrix of the second-order response surface model (RSM). In contrast to the classical treatment where the sample are assumed to be independently distributed, in this work we do not need such distributional simplification. The confidence region for the unknown vector of the eigenvalues is derived by means of delta method. The finite sample behavior of the convergence result is discussed by Monte Carlo Simulation. We get the approximated distribution of the pivotal quantity of the population eigenvalues as a chi-square distribution model. Next we attempt to apply the method to a real data provided by a mining industry. The data represents the percentage of cobalt (Co) observed over the exploration region.
