Estimación paramétrica bayesiana no paramétrica de funciones de supervivencia con observaciones parcialmente censuradas.

Domingo Morales, Vicente Quesada, Leandro Pardo (1986)

Trabajos de Estadística

The problem of nonparametric estimation of a survival function based on a partially censored on the right sample is established in a Bayesian context, using parametric Bayesian techniques. Estimates are obtained considering neutral to the right processes, they are particularized to some of them, and their asymptotic properties are studied from a Bayesian point of view. Finally, an application to a Dirichlet process is simulated.

Estimates of reliability for the normal distribution

Jan Hurt (1980)

Aplikace matematiky

The minimum variance unbiased, the maximum likelihood, the Bayes, and the naive estimates of the reliability function of a normal distribution are studied. Their asymptotic normality is proved and asymptotic expansions for both the expectation and the mean squared error are derived. The estimates are then compared using the concept of deficiency. In the end an extensive Monte Carlo study of the estimates in small samples is given.

Estimation of parameters in a network reliability model with spatial dependence

Ian Hepburn Dinwoodie (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

An iterative method based on a fixed-point property is proposed for finding maximum likelihood estimators for parameters in a model of network reliability with spatial dependence. The method is shown to converge at a geometric rate under natural conditions on data.

Evaluating improvements of records

Tomasz Rychlik (1997)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We evaluate the extreme differences between the consecutive expected record values appearing in an arbitrary i.i.d. sample in the standard deviation units. We also discuss the relevant estimates for parent distributions coming from restricted families and other scale units.

Exact simultaneous location-scale tests for two shifted exponential samples

Amitava Mukherjee, Zhi Lin Chong, Marco Marozzi (2019)

Kybernetika

The failure time distribution for various items often follows a shifted (two-parameter) exponential model and not the traditional (one-parameter) exponential model. The shifted exponential is very useful in practice, in particular in the engineering, biomedical sciences and industrial quality control when modeling time to event or survival data. The open problem of simultaneous testing for differences in origin and scale parameters of two shifted exponential distributions is addressed. Two exact...

Further results on the generalized cumulative entropy

Antonio Di Crescenzo, Abdolsaeed Toomaj (2017)

Kybernetika

Recently, a new concept of entropy called generalized cumulative entropy of order n was introduced and studied in the literature. It is related to the lower record values of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables and with the concept of reversed relevation transform. In this paper, we provide some further results for the generalized cumulative entropy such as stochastic orders, bounds and characterization results. Moreover, some characterization results are derived...

General proportional mean residual life model

Mohamed Kayid, Salman Izadkhah, Dalal ALmufarrej (2016)

Applications of Mathematics

By considering a covariate random variable in the ordinary proportional mean residual life (PMRL) model, we introduce and study a general model, taking more situations into account with respect to the ordinary PMRL model. We investigate how stochastic structures of the proposed model are affected by the stochastic properties of the baseline and the mixing variables in the model. Several characterizations and preservation properties of the new model under different stochastic orders and aging classes...

Goodness-of-fit test for the accelerated failure time model based on martingale residuals

Petr Novák (2013)

Kybernetika

The Accelerated Failure Time model presents a way to easily describe survival regression data. It is assumed that each observed unit ages internally faster or slower, depending on the covariate values. To use the model properly, we want to check if observed data fit the model assumptions. In present work we introduce a goodness-of-fit testing procedure based on modern martingale theory. On simulated data we study empirical properties of the test for various situations.

Hyper-dependence, hyper-ageing properties and analogies between them: a semigroup-based approach

Rachele Foschi (2013)

Kybernetika

In previous papers, evolution of dependence and ageing, for vectors of non-negative random variables, have been separately considered. Some analogies between the two evolutions emerge however in those studies. In the present paper, we propose a unified approach, based on semigroup arguments, explaining the origin of such analogies and relations among properties of stochastic dependence and ageing.
