Article
In this paper, based on combined Type-II censored samples, an exponential form for the underlaying distributions is considered for estimating the unknown parameters using the maximum likelihood and Bayesian me...
Chapter
In this paper, we first derive explicit expressions for the MLEs of the location and scale parameters of the Laplace distribution based on a Type-I right-censored sample arising from a time-constrained life-te...
Article
In this paper, we establish the stochastic ordering of median from an exchangeable trivariate normal vector based on the strength of the correlation coefficient. Specifically, by considering two exchangeable t...

In this paper, we use the Linex loss function to derive the Bayesian estimate of the parameter of the exponential distribution based on ranked set sampling. Under this setup, we use both conjugate and Jeffreys...

Chapter
In this chapter, we consider models for experiments in which the stress levels are altered at intermediate stages during the exposure. These experiments, referred to as step-stress tests, belong to the class o...

Chapter
In reliability and life-testing experiments, the researcher is often interested in the effects of extreme or varying stress factors such as temperature, voltage and load on the lifetimes of experimental units....

Chapter
In this article, we consider some up-and-down designs that are discussed in Ivanova et al. (2003) for estimating the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in phase I trials: the biased coin design, k-in-a-row rule, Naraya...

Methodology and Applications
Chapter
The EM algorithm is used to find the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the parameters of a bivariate normal distribution based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. The asymptotic variances and...

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of record values X(n) for some types of Archimedean copula processes. It is shown that the set of all limit distribution functions for X(n),normed and centered in a suitable...

In this Chapter, we discuss the construction of acceptance sampling plans based on progressively Type-II right censored samples. For this purpose, we may either use exact (ML/BLU) estimators of the parameters ...
