Recent work on Pitman closeness has compared estimators under Type-II censored samples from exponential distribution based on observed number of failures. In this paper, we carry out similar Pitman closeness comparisons for Type-I censored samples from exponential distribution based on time...

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...

The EM algorithm is a powerful technique for determining the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) in the presence of binary data since the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters cannot be expressed in a closed-form. In this paper, we consider one-shot devices that can be used only once...
