For a calibration problem that arises in analytical chemistry, the Rocke-Lorenzato model and some generalizations are considered, so as to capture the near constant variability at very low levels of ...the analyte, and the increasing measurement variation with increased concentration of the analyte. For the common mean problem, a heteroscedastic one-way random effects model is often used to model the data and will be considered herein. Existing interval estimation procedures for these problems are likelihood based large sample procedures, and are not satisfactory, especially for small samples. A modified likelihood methodology, which can be numerically implemented, is shown to perform very well for the above problems. The analysis of inter-laboratory data is reported in order to illustrate the application of the proposed methods.
•Accurate confidence intervals are computed for several parameters under some models relevant to analytical chemistry.•The models capture the increasing measurement variation with increased concentration of the analyte.•A modified likelihood methodology used to compute the confidence intervals is explained and illustrated.•The methodology provides accurate confidence intervals without requiring large sample data.

Both cell-wise and case-wise outliers may appear in a real data set at the same time. Few methods have been developed in order to deal with both types of outliers when formulating a regression model. ...In this work, a robust estimator is proposed based on a three-step method named 3S-regression, which uses the comedian as a highly robust scatter estimate. An intensive simulation study is conducted in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed comedian 3S-regression estimator in the presence of cell-wise and case-wise outliers. In addition, a comparison of this estimator with recently developed robust methods is carried out. The proposed method is also extended to the model with continuous and dummy covariates. Finally, a real data set is analyzed for illustration in order to show potential applications.

Unresolved issues over compensation are what give mortgage brokers high anxiety about the qualified mortgage rule. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as part of this process is trying to align ...the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act and the Truth-in-Lending Act. The result will be the new document which discloses fees to the consumer. Speaking at a roundtable are NAMB president Don Frommeyer, president-elect John Councilman, vice president Rocke Andrews and treasurer Andy Harris regarding this issue.
