<Para ID="Par1">In this paper we studied a three-parameter absolutely continuous bivariate distribution whose marginals are generalized exponential distributions. The proposed three-parameter bivariate distribution can be used quite effectively as an alternative to the Block and Basu bivariate exponential...</para>

This paper considers two classes of bivariate distributions having proportional (reversed) hazard rates models as their marginals. Various dependence properties of the proposed models are studied through their copulas. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2014

The quality level measurement of a given process is essential to some phases of six sigma methodology. So far, different indicators have been applied to estimate the capabilities of a process such as classic yield, defect per unit, sigma quality level and rolled throughput yield.

Precise identification of the time when a process has changed enables process engineers to search for a potential special cause more effectively. In this paper, we develop change point estimation methods for a Poisson process in a Bayesian framework. We apply Bayesian hierarchical models to...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to apply Poisson generalized linear model (PGLM) with log link instead of multinomial logistic regression to monitor multinomial logistic profiles in Phase I. Hence, estimating the coefficients becomes easier and more accurate. Design/methodology/approach:...

Setting of process variables to meet a required specification of quality characteristic (or response variable) in a process, is one of the common problems in the process quality control. But generally there are more than one quality characteristics in the process and the experimenter attempts to...
