Influence diagnostics in exponentiated-Weibull regression models with censored data.

Edwin M. M. Ortega, Vicente G. Cancho, Heleno Bolfarine (2006)

SORT

Diagnostic methods have been an important tool in regression analysis to detect anomalies, such as departures from the error assumptions and the presence of outliers and influential observations with the fitted models. The literature provides plenty of approaches for detecting outlying or influential observations in data sets. In this paper, we follow the local influence approach (Cook 1986) in detecting influential observations with exponentiated-Weibull regression models. The relevance of the...

Joint weak hazard rate order under non-symmetric copulas

Franco Pellerey, Fabio Spizzichino (2016)

Dependence Modeling

A weak version of the joint hazard rate order, useful to stochastically compare not independent random variables, has been recently defined and studied in [4]. In the present paper, further results on this order are proved and discussed. In particular, some statements dealing with the relationships between the jointweak hazard rate order and other stochastic orders are generalized to the case of non symmetric copulas, and its relations with some multivariate aging notions (studied in [2]) are presented....

Likelihood for interval-censored observations from multi-state models.

Daniel Commenges (2003)

SORT

We consider the mixed dicrete-continuous pattern of observation in a multi-state model; this is a classical pattern because very often clinical status is assessed at discrete visit times while time of death is observed exactly. The likelihood can easily be written heuristically for such models. However a formal proof is not easy in such observational patterns. We give a rigorous derivation al the likelihood for the illness-death model based on applying Jacod´s formula to an observed bivariate counting...

Local linear estimation of the conditional mode under left truncation for functional regressors

Halima Boudada, Sarra Leulmi (2023)

Kybernetika

In this work, we introduce a local linear estimator of the conditional mode for a random real response variable which is subject to left-truncation by another random variable where the covariate takes values in an infinite dimensional space. We first establish both of pointwise and uniform almost sure convergences, with rates, of the conditional density estimator. Then, we deduce the strong consistency of the obtained conditional mode estimator. We finally illustrate the outperformance of our method...

Maintenance policy under multiple unrevealed failure.

Francisco Germán Badía Blasco, M.ª Dolores Berrade Ursúa, Clemente A. Campos (2002)

Qüestiió

The unrevealed failures of a system are detected only by inspection. In this work, an inspection policy along with a maintenance procedure for multiunit systems with dependent times to failure is presented. The existence of an optimum policy is also discussed.

Mean square error of the estimator of the conditional hazard function

Abbes Rabhi, Samir Benaissa, El Hadj Hamel, Boubaker Mechab (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with a scalar response conditioned by a functional random variable. The main goal is to estimate the conditional hazard function. An asymptotic formula for the mean square error of this estimator is calculated considering as usual the bias and variance.

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

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 conditions...

New results on the NBUFR and NBUE classes of life distributions

E. M. Shokry, A. N. Ahmed, E. A. Rakha, H. M. Hewedi (2009)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Some properties of the "new better than used in failure rate" (NBUFR) and the "new better than used in expectation" (NBUE) classes of life distributions are given. These properties include moment inequalities and moment generating functions behaviors. In addition, nonparametric estimation and testing of the survival functions of these classes are discussed.
