We present optimal upper bounds for expectations of order statistics from i.i.d. samples with a common distribution function belonging to the restricted family of probability measures that either precede or follow a given one in the star ordering. The bounds for families with monotone failure density and rate on the average are specified. The results are obtained by projecting functions onto convex cones of Hilbert spaces.
The problem of fault detection and isolation in nonlinear uncertain systems is studied within the scope of the analytical redundancy concept. The problem solution involves checking the redundancy relations existing among measured system inputs and outputs. A novel method is proposed for constructing redundancy relations based on system models described by differential equations whose right-hand sides are polynomials. The method involves a nonlinear transformation of the initial system model into...
Performance evaluation of classifiers is a crucial step for selecting the best classifier or the best set of parameters for a classifier. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) are widely used to analyse performance of a classifier. However, the approach does not take into account that misclassification for different classes might have more or less serious consequences. On the other hand, it is often difficult to specify exactly the consequences or costs...
In the area of stress-strength models there has been a large
amount of work as regards estimation of the reliability R = Pr(X2 < X1 )
when X1 and X2 are independent random variables belonging to the same
univariate family of distributions. The algebraic form for R = Pr(X2 < X1 )
has been worked out for the majority of the well-known distributions including
Normal, uniform, exponential, gamma, weibull and pareto. However,
there are still many other distributions for which the form of R is...
This paper deals with the reliability of composite measurement consisting of true-false items obeying the Rasch model. A definition of reliability in the Rasch model is proposed and the connection to the classical definition of reliability is shown. As a modification of the classical estimator Cronbach's alpha, a new estimator logistic alpha is proposed. Finally, the properties of the new estimator are studied via simulations in the Rasch model.
