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...

This paper considers computation of mixture weights of the marginal distribution of pooled order statistics that arise from combining and ordering multiple independent Type-II right censored samples. The proposed method is an iterative procedure which is computationally efficient and produces...

In this paper, we propose an efficient branch and bound procedure to compute exact nonparametric statistical intervals based on two Type-II right censored data sets. The procedure is based on some recurrence relations for the distribution and density functions of progressively Type-II censored...

The bivariate Sinh-Elliptical (BSE) distribution is a generalization of the well-known Rieck’s (1989) Sinh-Normal distribution that is quite useful in Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) regression model. The main aim of this paper is to define the BSE distribution and discuss some of its properties,...
