This paper proposes a method for constructing a predictive estimator for logistic regression. We make a provisional assumption that the predictive estimator is given by multiplying the maximum likelihood estimators by constants, which are estimated using a parametric bootstrap method. The relative merits of the maximum likelihood estimator and the predictive estimator produced by this method are determined by cross-validation. The results show that the predictiveestimators derived by this method lead to a smaller deviance than that obtained by the maximum likelihood estimator in many instances.

        In real situations all observations and measurements are not exact numbers but more or less non-exact, also called fuzzy. So, in this paper, we use approximate non-Bayesian computational methods to estimate inverse Weibull parameters and reliability function with fuzzy data. The maximum likelihood and moment estimations are obtained as non-Bayesian estimation. The maximum likelihood estimators have been derived numerically based on two iterative techniques namely “Newton-Raphson” and the “Expectation-Maximization” techniques. In addition, we provide compared numerically through Monte-Carlo simulation study to obtained estimates of the parameters and reliability function in terms of their mean squared error values and integrated mean squared error values respectively.

In this article, the estimation of [Formula: see text] is considered when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are two independent generalized Pareto distributions. The maximum likelihood estimators and Bayes estimators of [Formula: see text] are obtained based on record values. The Asymptotic distributions are also obtained together with the corresponding confidence interval of [Formula: see text]. AMS 2000 subject classification: 90B25
