We consider the problem of predictive interval for the range of the future observations from an exponential distribution. Two cases are considered, (1) Fixed sample size (FSS). (2) Random sample size (RSS). Further, I derive the predictive function for both FSS and RSS in closely forms. Random sample size is appeared in many application of life testing. Fixed sample size is a special case from the case of random sample size. Illustrative examples are given. Factors of the predictive distribution are given. A comparison in savings is made with the above method. To show the applications of our results, we present some simulation experiments. Finally, we apply our results to some real data sets in life testing.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of limit theorems for extremes with random sample size under general dependence-independence conditions for samples and random sample size indexes. Limit theorems of weak convergence type are obtained as well as functional limit theorems for extremal processes with random sample size indexes.

AbstractBy the use of a semi-martingale property of the Kolmogorov supremum, the results of Pyke (6) on the weak convergence of the empirical process with random sample size are simplified and extended to the case of p(≥1)-dimensional stochastic vectors.
