On Bayesian estimation in an exponential distribution under random censorship
The paper gives some basic ideas of both the construction and investigation of the properties of the Bayesian estimates of certain parametric functions of the parent exponential distribution under the model of random censorship assuming the Koziol–Green model. Various prior distributions are investigated and the corresponding estimates are derived. The stress is put on the asymptotic properties of the estimates with the particular stress on the Bayesian risk. Small sample properties are studied...
On distribution of waiting time for the first failure followed by a limited length success run
Many doctors believe that a patient will survive a heart attack unless a succeeding attack occurs in a week. Treating heart attacks as failures in Bernoulli trials we reduce the lifetime after a heart attack to the waiting time for the first failure followed by a success run shorter than a given k. In order to test the "true" critical period of the lifetime we need its distribution. The probability mass function and cumulative distribution function of the waiting time are expressed in explicit and...
On distributions of order statistics for absolutely continuous copulas with applications to reliability
Performance of coherent reliability systems is strongly connected with distributions of order statistics of failure times of components. A crucial assumption here is that the distributions of possibly mutually dependent lifetimes of components are exchangeable and jointly absolutely continuous. Assuming absolute continuity of marginals, we focus on properties of respective copulas and characterize the marginal distribution functions of order statistics that may correspond to absolute continuous...

On generalized conditional cumulative past inaccuracy measure
The notion of cumulative past inaccuracy (CPI) measure has recently been proposed in the literature as a generalization of cumulative past entropy (CPE) in univariate as well as bivariate setup. In this paper, we introduce the notion of CPI of order and study the proposed measure for conditionally specified models of two components failed at different time instants, called generalized conditional CPI (GCCPI). Several properties, including the effect of monotone transformation and bounds of GCCPI...
On goodness-of-fit for the absence of memory model
Logrank-type and Kolmogorov-type goodness-of-fit tests for the absence of memory model are proposed when the accelerated experiments are done under step-stresses. The power of the test against the approaching alternatives is investigated. The theoretical results are illustrated with simulated data.

On preservation under univariate weighted distributions
We derive some new results for preservation of various stochastic orders and aging classes under weighted distributions. The corresponding reversed preservation properties as straightforward conclusions of the obtained results for the direct preservation properties, are developed. Damage model of Rao, residual lifetime distribution, proportional hazards and proportional reversed hazards models are discussed as special weighted distributions to try some of our results.
On reliability analysis of consecutive -out-of- systems with arbitrarily dependent components
In this paper, we consider the linear and circular consecutive -out-of- systems consisting of arbitrarily dependent components. Under the condition that at least components () of the system are working at time , we study the reliability properties of the residual lifetime of such systems. Also, we present some stochastic ordering properties of residual lifetime of consecutive -out-of- systems. In the following, we investigate the inactivity time of the component with lifetime at the system...
