Latent Failures and Mixed Distributions: Using Mixed Distributions and Cost Modeling to Optimize the Management of Systems with Weak Latent Defect Subpopulations

Touw, Anduin E - 2008

Under most reliability model assumptions, all failures in a population are considered to come from the same distribution. Each individual failure time is assumed to provide information about the likely failure times of all other devices in the population. However, from time to time, process...

Probabilistic Modeling of Variability and Uncertainty in Urban Air Toxics Emissions

Zhao, Yuchao - 2003

Air toxic emission factor data often contain one or more censored points below a single or multiple detection limits. Such data sets are referred to as "censored." Conventional methods used to deal with censored data sets include removing non-detects, or replacing the censored points with zero,...

MISSPECIFIED MODELS WITH PARAMETERS OF INCREASING DIMENSION

Chen, Ru - 2005

We study a special class of misspecified generalized linear models, where the true model is a mixed effect model but the working model is a fixed effect model with parameters of dimension increasing with sample size. We provide a sufficient condition both in linear models and generalized linear...
