Abstract In this paper, we propose a flexible extended quadratic hazard rate (EQHR) distribution with increasing, decreasing, bathtub and upside-down bathtub hazard rate function. The EQHR density is arc, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped. This distribution is also obtained from compounding...

The present study uses the conditional demand model to analyse end use electricity demand. It also uses Binary logistic model to find out likelihood of households being affected from electricity crises. The model also uses household’s characteristics and ownership of modern appliances as...

Acceptance sampling plans for generalized exponential distribution when the lifetime experiment is truncated at a pre-determined time are provided in this article. The tables are provided for the minimum sample size required to ensure a certain median life of the experimental unit when the shape...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose the group acceptance sampling plans for when the lifetime of the submitted product follows the Pareto distribution. Design/methodology/approach – The single‐point approach (only consumer's risk) is used to find the plan parameter of the...
