 In this work, we focus on some new theoretical and computational aspects of the Odd Lindley-Lomax model. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used to estimate the model parameters. We show empirically the importance and flexibility of the new model in modeling two types of aircraft windshield lifetime data. This model is much better than exponentiated Lomax, gamma Lomax, beta Lomax and Lomax models so the Odd Lindley-Lomax lifetime model is a good alternative to these models in modeling aircraft windshield data. A Monte Carlo simulation study is used to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators.

A new version of the Lomax model is introduced andstudied. The major justification for the practicality of the new model isbased on the wider use of the Lomax model. We are also motivated tointroduce the new model since the density of the new distribution exhibitsvarious important shapes such as the unimodal, the right skewed and the leftskewed. The new model can be viewed as a mixture of the exponentiated Lomaxdistribution. It can also be considered as a suitable model for fitting thesymmetric, left skewed, right skewed, and unimodal data sets. The maximumlikelihood estimation method is used to estimate the model parameters. Weprove empirically the importance and flexibility of the new model inmodeling two types of aircraft windshield lifetime data sets. The proposedlifetime model is much better than gamma Lomax, exponentiated Lomax, Lomaxand beta Lomax models so the new distribution is a good alternative to thesemodels in modeling aircraft windshield data.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

In this paper, we propose and study a new bivariate Weibull model, called Bi-levelWeibullModel, which arises when one failure occurs after the other. Under some specific regularity conditions, the reliability function of the second event can be above the reliability function of the first event, and is always above the reliability function of the transformed first event, which is a univariate Weibull random variable. This model is motivated by a common physical feature that arises fromseveral real applications. The two marginal distributions are a Weibull distribution and a generalized three-parameter Weibull mixture distribution. Some useful properties of the model are derived, and we also present the maximum likelihood estimation method. A real example is provided to illustrate the application of the model.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method

Abstract. The Lo's R/S tests (Lo, 1991), GPH test (Geweke and Porter-Hudak, 1983) and the maximum likelihood estimation method implemented in S-Plus (S-MLE) are evaluated through intensive Mote Carlo simulations for detecting the existence of long-memory. It is shown that, it is difficult to find an appropriate lag q for Lo's test for different AR and ARFIMA processes, which makes the use of Lo's test very tricky. In general, the GPH test outperforms the Lo's test, but for cases where there is strong autocorrelations (e.g., AR(1) processes with φ=0.97 or even 0.99), the GPH test is totally useless, even for time series of large data size. Although S-MLE method does not provide a statistic test for the existence of long-memory, the estimates of d given by S-MLE seems to give a good indication of whether or not the long-memory is present. Data size has a significant impact on the power of all the three methods. Generally, the power of Lo's test and GPH test increases with the increase of data size, and the estimates of d with GPH test and S-MLE converge with the increase of data size. According to the results with the Lo's R/S test (Lo, 1991), GPH test (Geweke and Porter-Hudak, 1983) and the S-MLE method, all daily flow series exhibit long-memory. The intensity of long-memory in daily streamflow processes has only a very weak positive relationship with the scale of watershed.

Over Time

In this paper, we propose a stochastic model to describe over time the evolution of stress in a bolted mechanical structure depending on different thicknesses of a joint elastic piece. First, the studied structure and the experiment numerical simulation are presented. Next, we validate statistically our proposed stochastic model, and we use the maximum likelihood estimation method based on Euler–Maruyama scheme to estimate the parameters of this model. Thereafter, we use the estimated model to compare the stresses, the peak times, and extinction times for different thicknesses of the elastic piece. Some numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate different results.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method

As a widely used inertial device, a MEMS triaxial accelerometer has zero-bias error, nonorthogonal error, and scale-factor error due to technical defects. Raw readings without calibration might seriously affect the accuracy of inertial navigation system. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct calibration processing before using a MEMS triaxial accelerometer. This paper presents a MEMS triaxial accelerometer calibration method based on the maximum likelihood estimation method. The error of the MEMS triaxial accelerometer comes into question, and the optimal estimation function is established. The calibration parameters are obtained by the Newton iteration method, which is more efficient and accurate. Compared with the least square method, which estimates the parameters of the suboptimal estimation function established under the condition of assuming that the mean of the random noise is zero, the parameters calibrated by the maximum likelihood estimation method are more accurate and stable. Moreover, the proposed method has low computation, which is more functional. Simulation and experimental results using the consumer low-cost MEMS triaxial accelerometer are presented to support the abovementioned superiorities of the maximum likelihood estimation method. The proposed method has the potential to be applied to other triaxial inertial sensors.

Mathematical Properties

A new three-parameter compounded extended-exponential distribution “Poisson Nadarajah–Haghighi” is introduced and studied, which is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling survival data. It can have increasing, decreasing, upside-down bathtub and bathtub-shaped failure rate. A comprehensive account of the mathematical properties of the model is presented. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation for complete and censored data. The suitability of the maximum likelihood method to estimate its parameters is assessed by a Monte Carlo simulation study. Four empirical illustrations of the new model are presented to real data and the results are quite satisfactory.
