New generalization of compound Rayleigh distribution: Different estimation methods based on progressive type-II censoring schemes and applications

Omid Shojaee, Reza Azimi (2025)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Fitting a suitable distribution to the data from a real experiment is a crucial topic in statistics. However, many of the existing distributions cannot account for the effect of environmental conditions on the components under test. Moreover, the components are usually heterogeneous, meaning that they do not share the same distribution. In this article, we aim to obtain a new generalization of the Compound Rayleigh distribution by using mixture models and incorporating the environmental...

Minimax prediction under random sample size

Alicja Jokiel-Rokita (2002)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

A class of minimax predictors of random variables with multinomial or multivariate hypergeometric distribution is determined in the case when the sample size is assumed to be a random variable with an unknown distribution. It is also proved that the usual predictors, which are minimax when the sample size is fixed, are not minimax, but they remain admissible when the sample size is an ancillary statistic with unknown distribution.

MLE for the γ-order Generalized Normal Distribution

Christos P. Kitsos, Vassilios G. Vassiliadis, Thomas L. Toulias (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The introduced three parameter (position μ, scale ∑ and shape γ) multivariate generalized Normal distribution (γ-GND) is based on a strong theoretical background and emerged from Logarithmic Sobolev Inequalities. It includes a number of well known distributions such as the multivariate Uniform, Normal, Laplace and the degenerated Dirac distributions. In this paper, the cumulative distribution, the truncated distribution and the hazard rate of the γ-GND are presented. In addition, the...

Three methods for constructing reference prior distributions.

Eusebio Gómez Sánchez-Manzano, Miguel A. Gómez Villegas (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Three methods are proposed for constructing reference prior densities for certain biparametric distribution families. These densities represent approximations to the Bayesian concept of noninformative distribution.
