 In this paper, a step-stress accelerated life test with two stress variables for Weibull distribution under progressive type-I censoring is considered. The stress-life relationship as a log-linear function of stress levels, and for each combination of stress levels, a cumulative exposure model is assumed. The maximum likelihood and Bayes estimates of the model parameters are obtained. The optimum test plan is developed using variance-optimality criterion, which consists in finding out the optimal stress change time by minimizing asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the log of the scale parameter at the design stress. The proposed study illustrated by using simulated data.

Abstract Determination of normal ranges from laboratory data containing undectable values is a frequently encountered problem in the radioimmunoassay of peptide hormones. In the past, such determinations usually have been based on the mid-point method or the one-end Winsorized method. A graphic method involving the use of probability paper has also been reported. We propose that the maximum-likelihood estimation is a more appropriate statistical method for the determination of normal range from this type of data (Type I censored data). With this method, the mean and standard deviation, and hence the tolerance limits, can be estimated. We used the maximum-likelihood estimation method to determine the normal range of serum thyrotropin values obtained from 93 healthy subjects, based on a log normal distribution. Although the serum thyrotropin content was undetectable in 14% of the subjects, a normal range could be calculated. Using tolerance limits for 95% coverage of the population with 90% confidence, we calculated the normal range of thyrotropin to be 0.51-5.75 milliunits/L, with a mean value of 1.71 milliunits/L, and predicted that 91.4% of undetectable serum thyrotropin values will fall within the normal range.

Maximum likelihood and proportion estimators of the parameters of the discrete Weibull type II distribution with type I censored data are discussed. A simulation study is performed to generate data from this distribution for suggested values of its parameters and to get the Maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters numerically. The method of proportions suggested by Khan et al. (1989) is also used to estimate the model's parameters. Numerical examples are used to perform a comparison study between the two method results according the values of the estimates and their corresponding mean squared errors.

AbstractUsing the type-I SPDC process in BBO nonlinear crystal, we generate a polarization-entangled state near to the maximally-entangled Bell-state with high-visibility (high-brightness) 98.50 ± 1.33% (87.71 ± 4.45%) for HV (DA) basis. We calculate the CHSH version of the Bell inequality, as a nonlocal realism test, and find a strong violation from the classical physics or any hidden variable theory, S = 2.71 ± 0.10. Via measuring the coincidence count rate in the SPDC process, we obtain the quantum efficiency of single-photon detectors around (25.5 ± 3.4)%, which is in good agreement to their manufacturer company. As expected, we verify the linear dependency of the CC rate vs. pump power of input CW-laser, which may yield to find the effective second-order susceptibility crystal. Using the theory of the measurement of qubits, includes a tomographic reconstruction of quantum states due to the linear set of 16 polarization-measurement, together with a maximum-likelihood-technique, which is based on the numerical optimization, we calculate the physical non-negative definite density matrices, which implies on the non-separability and entanglement of prepared state. By having the maximum likelihood density operator, we calculate precisely the entanglement measures such as Concurrence, entanglement of formation, tangle, logarithmic negativity, and different entanglement entropies such as linear entropy, Von-Neumann entropy, and Renyi 2-entropy. Finally, this high-brightness and low-rate entangled photons source can be used for short-range quantum measurements in the Lab.
