Abstract The well known inverse Rayleigh distribution is considered as a model for a life time random variable. The problem of acceptance sampling when the life test is truncated at a pre-assigned time is discussed. For various acceptance numbers, various confidence levels and various values of...

Abstract A generalization of the log-logistic distribution called exponentiated log-logistic distribution (in lines of exponentiated Weibull distribution suggested by Mudholkar and Srivastava [Technometrics 37: 436-445, 1995]) is considered. In this paper the operating characteristic for a...

Abstract Point estimation constitutes the heart of statistics. In this paper the corresponding methods are looked at from the viewpoint of a user and it is shown that point estimation procedures not only have major conceptual deficiencies, but that the corresponding methods offered and...

Abstract In reliability analysis, it is preferable to complete an experiment of data collection in a short time due to constraints concerning energy, money or other resources. In this paper we propose a relative measure called relative expected experimental time (REET) for a life testing...

Sampling plans in which items that are put to test, to collect the life of the items in order to decide upon accepting or rejecting a submitted lot, are called reliability test plans. The basic probability model of the life of the product is specified as the well-known log-logistic distribution...

This paper deals with construction of confidence intervals for process capability index using bootstrap method (proposed by Chen and Pearn in Qual Reliab Eng Int 13(6):355-360, 1997) by applying simulation technique. It is assumed that the quality characteristic follows type-II generalized...

Accurate collection of wind speed records is significant for numerous wind power applications. The present investigation aims to highlight the use of the Marshall-Olkin Power Lomax (MOPLx) distribution for wind speed data. We examine the actual wind speed records gathered from three stations...
