Nonparametric location estimators in the randomized complete block design

Several tests for the comparison of different groups in the randomized complete block design exist. However, there is a lack of robust estimators for the location difference between one group and all the others on the original scale. The relative marginal effects are commonly used in this situation, but they are more difficult to interpret and use by less experienced people because of the different scale. In this paper two nonparametric estimators for the comparison of one group against the others in the randomized complete block design will be presented. Theoretical results such as asymptotic normality, consistency, translation invariance, scale preservation, unbiasedness, and median unbiasedness are derived. The finite sample behavior of these estimators is derived by simulations of different scenarios. In addition, possible confidence intervals with these estimators are discussed and their behavior derived also by simulations.

The Character of Christian-Muslim Encounter: Essays in Honour of David Thomas

The Character of Christian-Muslim Encounter is a Festschrift in honour of David Thomas, Professor of Christianity and Islam, and Nadir Dinshaw Professor of Inter Religious Relations, at the University of Birmingham, UK. The Editors have put together a collection of over 30 contributions from colleagues of Professor Thomas that commences with a biographical sketch and representative tribute provided by a former doctoral student, and comprises a series of wide-ranging academic papers arranged to broadly reflect three dimensions of David Thomas’ academic and professional work – studies in and of Islam; Christian-Muslim relations; the Church and interreligious engagement. These are set in the context of a focussed theme – the character of Christian-Muslim encounters – and cast within a broad chronological framework.
