We consider the problem of determining the optimal operating policy of a two terminal shuttle with fixed capacity Q \le \infty . The passengers arrive at each terminal according to Poisson processes and are transported by a single carrier operating between the terminals. The interterminal travel...

In this paper we consider a transportation system consisting of a carrier with capacity Q \le \infty , operating between two terminals. Passengers arrive at these terminals according to independent Poisson processes and are transported by the carrier from one terminal to the other terminal....

Abstract In this paper a new probability density function with bounded domain is presented. This distribution arises from the Marshall–Olkin extended exponential distribution proposed by Marshall and Olkin (1997). It depends on two parameters and can be considered as an alternative to the...

Abstract In the area of stress-strength models, there has been a large amount of work regarding the estimation of the reliability {R=\Pr(XY)} . The algebraic form for {R=\Pr(XY)} has been worked out for the vast majority of the well-known distributions when X and Y are independent random...

Abstract We introduce a new family of univariate continuous distributions called the Marshall–Olkin transmuted-G family which extends the transmuted-G family pioneered by Shaw and Buckley (2007). Special models for the new family are provided. Some of its mathematical properties including...

A copula is a useful tool for constructing bivariate and/or multivariate distributions. In this article, we consider a new modified class of FGM (Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern) bivariate copula for constructing several different bivariate Kumaraswamy type copulas and discuss their structural...

Copulas are a quite flexible and useful tool for modeling the dependence structure between two or more variables or components of bivariate and multivariate vectors, in particular, to predict losses in insurance and finance. In this article, we use the VineCopula package in R to study the...
