This paper is a solution to a problem that was put forward by Pandit(2002). The problem is to increase the reliability of a system, which, depends on a set of components connected in series. The increment can be done, by connecting to each of the components, similar components in parallel under...

The Poisson distribution, in general remains sensitive to small departure of frequencies especially at the right tail of the distribution. In many situations it may happen that the Generalized Poisson Distribution (GPD) or a compound distribution provides a closer fit to a frequency distribution...

Searching information in the web, is a common feature and the most easy way to get oneself exposed to a see of knowledge. The simplicity and economic way of getting information in the web made it widely acceptable amongst the citizens including the researchers. However, all the information...

The use of simulation in industry, of late, has become an important technique. It is used in the analysis of a number of complex systems, where analytical methods are either difficult to apply or not possible to apply. The problem discussed here is to increase the reliability of a system, which,...

In many situations it may happen that the Generalized Poisson Distribution (GPD) or a compound distribution provides a closer fit to a frequency distribution...

The testing of the goodness of fit of a data to a Poisson distribution through the Poissonness plot is an interesting way to obtain a visual standpoint of the issue. Based on a real data from the said distribution, the paper discusses how the plot can be used to detect the lack of fit of the...

In study of the statistical packages, simulation from probability distributions is one of the important aspects. This paper is based on simulation study from Bernoulli distribution conducted by various popular statistical packages like R, SAS, Minitab, MS Excel and PASW. The accuracy of...
