Reliability for Beta Models

Nadarajah, Saralees (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

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...

Sample d -copula of order m

José M. González-Barrios, María M. Hernández-Cedillo (2013)

Kybernetika

In this paper we analyze the construction of d -copulas including the ideas of Cuculescu and Theodorescu [5], Fredricks et al. [15], Mikusiński and Taylor [25] and Trutschnig and Fernández-Sánchez [33]. Some of these methods use iterative procedures to construct copulas with fractal supports. The main part of this paper is given in Section 3, where we introduce the sample d -copula of order m with m 2 , the central idea is to use the above methodologies to construct a new copula based on a sample. The...

Second order asymptotic distribution of the R φ -divergence goodness-of-fit statistics

María Del Carmen Pardo (2000)

Kybernetika

The distribution of each member of the family of statistics based on the R φ -divergence for testing goodness-of-fit is a chi-squared to o ( 1 ) (Pardo [pard96]). In this paper a closer approximation to the exact distribution is obtained by extracting the φ -dependent second order component from the o ( 1 ) term.

Selective lack-of-memory and its application

Czesław Stępniak (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

We say that a random variable X taking nonnegative integers has selective lack-of-memory (SLM) property with selector s if P(X ≥ n + s/X ≥ n) = P(X ≥ s) for n = 0,1,.... This property is characterized in an elementary manner by probabilities pₙ = P(X=n). An application in car insurance is presented.

Sequential monitoring for change in scale

Ondřej Chochola (2008)

Kybernetika

We propose a sequential monitoring scheme for detecting a change in scale. We consider a stable historical period of length m . The goal is to propose a test with asymptotically small probability of false alarm and power 1 as the length of the historical period tends to infinity. The asymptotic distribution under the null hypothesis and consistency under the alternative hypothesis is derived. A small simulation study illustrates the finite sample performance of the monitoring scheme.
