The maximum likelihood method is the most widely used estimation method. On the other hand, it can produce substantial bias, and an approximate confidence interval based on the maximum likelihood estimator cannot be valid when the sample size is small. Because the sizes of the record values are considerably smaller than the original sequence observed in the majority of cases, a method appropriate for this situation is required for precise inference. This paper provides the exact confidence intervals for unknown parameters and exact predictive intervals for the future upper record values by providing some pivotal quantities in the two-parameter Rayleigh distribution based on the upper record values. Finally, the validity of the proposed inference methods was examined from Monte Carlo simulations and real data.

This article considers estimation of the unknown parameters for the compound Rayleigh distribution (CRD) based on upper record values. We have derived the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian estimators for the unknown two parameters, as well as the reliability and hazard functions. We obtained Bayes estimators on the basis of the symmetric (squared error) and asymmetric (linear exponential (LINEX) and general entropy (GE)) loss functions. It has been seen that the symmetric and asymmetric Bayes estimators are obtained in closed forms. Furthermore, Bayesian prediction interval of the future upper record values are discussed and obtained. Finally, estimation of the parameters, practical examples of real record values and simulated record values are given to illustrate the theoretical results of prediction interval.

The two-parameter of exponentiated Gumbel distribution is an important lifetime distribution in survival analysis. This paper investigates the estimation of the parameters of this distribution by using lower records values. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) procedure of the parameters is considered, and the Fisher information matrix of the unknown parameters is used to construct asymptotic confidence intervals. Bayes estimator of the parameters and the corresponding credible intervals are obtained by using the Gibbs sampling technique. Two real data set is provided to illustrate the proposed methods.

This paper studies the frequentist inference about the shape and scale parameters of the two-parameter Weibull distribution using upper record values. The exact sampling distribution of the MLE of the shape parameter is derived. The asymptotic normality of the MLEs of both parameters are obtained. Based on these results this paper proposes various confidence intervals of the two parameters. Assuming one parameter is known certain testing procedures are proposed. Furthermore, approximate prediction interval for the immediately consequent record value is derived too. Conclusions are made based on intensive simulations.

In this paper we discuss parameter estimation in black scholes model. A non-parametric estimation method and well known maximum likelihood estimator are considered. Our aim is to estimate the unknown parameters for stochastic differential equation with discrete time observation data. In simulation study we compare the non-parametric method with maximum likelihood method using stochastic numerical scheme named with Euler Maruyama.

The univariate power-normal distribution is quite useful for modeling many types of real data. On the other hand, multivariate extensions of this univariate distribution are not common in the statistic literature, mainly skewed multivariate extensions that can be bimodal, for example. In this paper, based on the univariate power-normal distribution, we extend the univariate power-normal distribution to the multivariate setup. Structural properties of the new multivariate distributions are established. We consider the maximum likelihood method to estimate the unknown parameters, and the observed and expected Fisher information matrices are also derived. Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that the maximum likelihood approach is quite effective to estimate the model parameters. An empirical application of the proposed multivariate distribution to real data is provided for illustrative purposes.

Teimouri and Nadarajah [Statist. Methodol.13 (2013) 12–24] considered bias corrected maximum likelihood estimation of the Weibull distribution based on upper record values. Here, we propose an estimator for the Weibull shape parameter based on consecutive upper records. It is shown by simulations that the proposed estimator has less bias and less mean squared error than an estimator due to Soliman et al. [Comput. Statist. Data Anal.51 (2006) 2065–2077] based on all upper records. Also, the proposed estimator can be considered as a good competitor for the maximum likelihood estimator of the shape parameter based on complete data. This is proved by simulations and using a real dataset.

This paper deals with the problem of classical and Bayesian estimation of stress-strength reliability (R=P(X<Y)) based on upper record values from generalized inverted exponential distribution (GIED). Hassan {et al.} (2018) discussed the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) and Bayes estimator of $R$ by considering that the scale parameter to be known for defined distribution while we consider the case when all the parameters of GIED are unknown. In the classical approach, we have discussed MLE and uniformly minimum variance estimator (UMVUE). In Bayesian approach, we have considered the Bays estimator of R by considering the squared error loss function. Further, based on upper records, we have considered the Asymptotic confidence interval based on MLE, Bayesian credible interval and bootstrap confidence interval for $R$. Finally, Monte Carlo simulations and real data applications are being carried out for comparing the performances of the estimators of R.
