A supersaturated design is a factorial design in which the number of effects to be estimated is greater than the number of runs. It is used in many experiments, for screening purpose, i.e., for studying a large number of factors and identifying the active ones. In this paper, we propose a method...

In the context of life-testing, progressive censoring has been studied extensively. But, all the results have been developed under the key assumption that the units under test are independently distributed. In this paper, we consider progressively Type-II censored order statistics (PCOS-II)...

In this paper, we discuss discrete compound distributions, in which the counting distribution is a weighted Poisson distribution. The over- and under-dispersion of these distributions are then discussed by analyzing the Fisher index of dispersion as well as a newly introduced factorial moment to...

The behaviour of the goodness-of-fit procedure for normality based on weighted integrals of the empirical characteristic function, discussed in the case of i.i.d. data, for instance, in Epps and Pulley (Biometrika 70:723–726, <CitationRef CitationID="CR7">1983</CitationRef>), is considered here in the context of ranked set sampling...</citationref>

We study here the distributions of order statistics and linear combinations of order statistics from a multivariate unified skew-elliptical distribution. We show that these distributions can be expressed as mixtures of unified skew-elliptical distributions, and then use these mixture forms to...

In the two-sample prediction problem, record values from the present sample may be used as predictors of order statistics from a future sample. In this paper, we investigate the nearness of record statistics (upper and lower) to order statistics from a location-scale family of distributions in...
