Characterizations based on length-biased weighted measure of inaccuracy for truncated random variables

Chanchal Kundu (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

In survival studies and life testing, the data are generally truncated. Recently, authors have studied a weighted version of Kerridge inaccuracy measure for truncated distributions. In the present paper we consider weighted residual and weighted past inaccuracy measure and study various aspects of their bounds. Characterizations of several important continuous distributions are provided based on weighted residual (past) inaccuracy measure.

Characterizations of continuous distributions through inequalities involving the expected values of selected functions

Faranak Goodarzi, Mohammad Amini, Gholam Reza Mohtashami Borzadaran (2017)

Applications of Mathematics

Nanda (2010) and Bhattacharjee et al. (2013) characterized a few distributions with help of the failure rate, mean residual, log-odds rate and aging intensity functions. In this paper, we generalize their results and characterize some distributions through functions used by them and Glaser’s function. Kundu and Ghosh (2016) obtained similar results using reversed hazard rate, expected inactivity time and reversed aging intensity functions. We also, via w ( · ) -function defined by Cacoullos and Papathanasiou...

Characterizations of the exponential distribution based on certain properties of its characteristic function

Simos G. Meintanis, George Iliopoulos (2003)

Kybernetika

Two characterizations of the exponential distribution among distributions with support the nonnegative real axis are presented. The characterizations are based on certain properties of the characteristic function of the exponential random variable. Counterexamples concerning more general possible versions of the characterizations are given.

Characterizing experimental designs by properties of the standard quadratic forms of observations

Czesław Stępniak (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

For any orthogonal multi-way classification, the sums of squares appearing in the analysis of variance may be expressed by the standard quadratic forms involving only squares of the marginal and total sums of observations. In this case the forms are independent and nonnegative definite. We characterize all two-way classifications preserving these properties for some and for all of the standard quadratic forms.
