A new class of bivariate and trivariate discrete distributions with binomial and multinomial marginals are studied. This class of distributions are obtained by the natural way using probabilistic properties of the considered sampling model. The applications in exceedance models for order...

In reliability and survival analysis, comparison of two or more populations is an important problem. For example, while comparing a treatment group with a control group, one may be interested in determining whether the observations in the treatment group have a longer lifetime than those from...

In this paper, we introduce precedence-type tests for testing the hypothesis that two distribution functions are equal, which is an extension of the precedence life-test rst proposed by Nelson (1963), when the two samples are progressively Type-II censored. The null distributions of the test...
