Study Results

Ranked set sampling is a very useful method to collect data when the actual measurement of the units in a population is difficult or expensive. Recently, the generalized quasi-Lindley distribution is suggested as a new continuous lifetime distribution. In this article, the ranked set sampling method is considered to estimate the parameters of the generalized quasi-Lindley distribution. Several estimation methods are used, including the maximum likelihood, the maximum product of spacings, ordinary least squares, weighted least squares, Cramer–von Mises, and Anderson–Darling methods. The performance of the proposed ranked set sampling based estimators is achieved through a simulation study in terms of bias and mean squared errors compared to the simple random sample. Additional results are obtained based on real data for the survival times of 72 guinea pigs and 23 ball bearings. The simulation study results and the real data applications showed the superiority of the proposed ranked set sampling estimators compared to the simple random sample competitors based on the same number of measuring units.

The generalized inverted exponential distribution is introduced as a lifetime model with good statistical properties. This paper, the estimation of the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of with five different estimation methods: uniformly minimum variance unbiased(UMVU), maximum likelihood(ML), least squares(LS), weighted least squares (WLS) and percentile(PC) estimators are considered. The performance of these estimation procedures, based on the mean squared error (MSE) by numerical simulations are compared. Simulation studies express that the UMVU estimator performs better than others and when the sample size is large enough the ML and UMVU estimators are almost equivalent and efficient than LS, WLS and PC. Finally, the result using a real data set are analyzed.

In this paper we discuss two case studies which clearly indicate the advantages of using a ranked set sample (RSS) over those of a simple random sample (SRS). The applications of RSS considered here cover single family homes sales data, and tree data. It is demonstrated that in each case RSS is much more efficient than SRS for estimation of population mean.

The elimination of insignificant predictors and the combination of predictors with indistinguishable coefficients are the two issues raised in searching for the true model. Pairwise Absolute Clustering and Sparsity (PACS) achieves both goals. Unfortunately, PACS is sensitive to outliers due to its dependency on the least-squares loss function which is known to be very sensitive to unusual data. In this article, the sensitivity of PACS to outliers has been studied. Robust versions of PACS (RPACS) have been proposed by replacing the least squares and nonrobust weights in PACS with MM-estimation and robust weights depending on robust correlations instead of person correlation, respectively. A simulation study and two real data applications have been used to assess the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The problem of estimation reliability in a multicomponent stress-strength model, when the system consists of k components have strength each compo- nent experiencing a random stress, is considered in this paper. The reliability of such a system is obtained when strength and stress variables are given by Lindley distribution. The system is regarded as alive only if at least r out of k (r < k) strength exceeds the stress. The multicomponent reliability of the system is given by Rr,k . The maximum likelihood estimator (M LE), uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) and Bayes esti- mator of Rr,k are obtained. A simulation study is performed to compare the different estimators of Rr,k . Real data is used as a practical application of the proposed model.

This study presents a novel methodology to investigate the nonparametric estimation of a survival probability under random censoring time using the ranked observations from a Partially Rank-Ordered Set (PROS) sampling design and employs it in a hematological disorder study. The PROS sampling design has numerous applications in medicine, social sciences and ecology where the exact measurement of the sampling units is costly; however, sampling units can be ordered by using judgment ranking or available concomitant information. The general estimation methods are not directly applicable to the case where samples are from rank-based sampling designs, because the sampling units do not meet the identically distributed assumption. We derive asymptotic distribution of a Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimator under PROS sampling design. Finally, we compare the performance of the suggested estimators via several simulation studies and apply the proposed methods to a real data set. The results show that the proposed estimator under rank-based sampling designs outperforms its counterpart in a simple random sample (SRS).

Least squares image matching (LSM) has been extensively applied and researched for high matching accuracy. However, it still suffers from some problems. Firstly, it needs the appropriate estimate of initial value. However, in practical applications, initial values may contain some biases from the inaccurate positions of keypoints. Such biases, if high enough, may lead to a divergent solution. If all the matching biases have exactly the same magnitude and direction, then they can be regarded as systematic errors. Secondly, malfunction of an imaging sensor may happen, which generates dead or stuck pixels on the image. This can be referred as outliers statistically. Because least squares estimation is well known for its inability to resist outliers, all these mentioned deviations from the model determined by LSM cause a matching failure. To solve these problems, with simulation data and real data, a series of experiments considering systematic errors and outliers are designed, and a variety of robust estimation methods including RANSACbased method, M estimator, S estimator and MM estimator is applied and compared in LSM. In addition, an evaluation criterion directly related to the ground truth is proposed for performance comparison of these robust estimators. It is found that robust estimators show the robustness for these deviations compared with LSM. Among these the robust estimators, M and MM estimator have the best performances.

Burr type X distribution is one of the members of the Burr family which was originally derived by Burr (1942) and can be used quite effectively in modelling strength data and also general lifetime data. In this article, we consider efficient estimation of the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of Burr X distribution. Eight different estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimation, uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimation, least square estimation, weighted least square estimation, percentile estimation, maximum product estimation, Cremer-von-Mises estimation and Anderson-Darling estimation are considered. Analytic expressions for bias and mean squared error are derived. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Finally, a real data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

This paper proposes the new three-parameter type I half-logistic inverse Weibull (TIHLIW) distribution which generalizes the inverse Weibull model. The density function of the TIHLIW can be expressed as a linear combination of the inverse Weibull densities. Some mathematical quantities of the proposed TIHLIW model are derived. Four estimation methods, namely, the maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, and Cramér–von Mises methods, are utilized to estimate the TIHLIW parameters. Simulation results are presented to assess the performance of the proposed estimation methods. The importance of the TIHLIW model is studied via a real data application.

Sampling Schemes

In this chapter, the authors consider the problem of estimating the population means of two sensitive variables by making use ranked set sampling. The final estimators are unbiased and the variance expressions that they derive show that ranked set sampling is more efficient than simple random sampling. A convex combination of the variance expressions of the resultant estimators is minimized in order to suggest optimal sample sizes for both sampling schemes. The relative efficiency of the proposed estimators is then compared to the corresponding estimators for simple random sampling based on simulation study and real data applications. SAS codes utilized in the simulation to collect the empirical evidence and application are included.
