The present study aimed to analyze the wind speed data of Firouzkooh region. For this purpose, the wind speed data for a 3-h period measuring over a 10-year period (2001–2010) were analyzed to calculate and estimate the wind power generation potential. Similar trends of the wind speeds were...

By analyzing the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) seismic catalog for different tectonic settings, we have found that the probability distributions of time intervals between successive earthquakes–interoccurrence times–can be described by the superposition of the Weibull distribution and...

Biased sampling from an underlying distribution with p.d.f. f(t), t0, implies that observations follow the weighted distribution with p.d.f. fw(t)=w(t)f(t)/E[w(T)] for a known weight function w. In particular, the function w(t)=tα has important applications, including length-biased sampling...

We provide simple computational formulas of both expected termination time and Fisher information of the flexible progressive censoring scheme proposed by Bairamov and Parsi (2011). Then, the design and planning of the flexible progressive censoring schemes are discussed with illustrative examples.

The correlated Weibull regression model for the analysis of correlated binary data is presented. This regression model is based on Bonney’s disposition model for the regression analysis of correlated binary outcomes. Parameter estimation was done through the maximum likelihood method. The...

In dynamic conditional score models, the innovation term of the dynamic specification is the score of the conditional distribution. These models are investigated for non-negative variables, using distributions from the generalized beta and generalized gamma families. The log-normal distribution...
