In this article we transmute the logistic distribution using quadratic rank transmutation map to develop a transmuted logistic distribution. The quadratic rank transmutation map enables the introduction of extra parameter into its parent model to enhance more flexibility in the analysis of data in various disciplines such as biological sciences, actuarial science, finance and insurance. The mathematical properties such as moment generating function, quantile, median and characteristic function of this distribution are discussed. The probability density functions of the minimum and maximum order statistics of the transmuted logistic distribution are established and the relationships between the probability density functions of the minimum and maximum order statistics of the parent model and the probability density function of the transmuted logistic distribution are considered. The parameter estimation is done by the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The flexibility of the model in statistical data analysis and its applicability is demonstrated by using it to fit relevant data. The study is concluded by demonstrating that the transmuted logistic distribution performs better than its parent model.

A reliability analysis method for the shiplift gear according to the system-level load-strength interference model is presented. The gear is regarded as a series system with dependent failure and multiple failure models. Its reliability is obtained by calculating the probability that the minimum order statistic of the strengths exceeds the maximum order statistic of repeated random loads. The load probability distribution of gear is then obtained using Monte Carlo on the basis of load information. The contact strength and bending strength are calculated. On the basis of system-level load-strength interference analysis, system reliability of a gear is straightforward built up. Finally, system reliability of a gear is worked out, which shows a high reliability.

When data are found to be realizations of a specific distribution, constructing the probability density function based on this distribution may not lead to the best prediction result. In this study, numerical simulations are conducted using data that follow a normal distribution, and we examine whether probability density functions that have shapes different from that of the normal distribution can yield larger log-likelihoods than the normal distribution in the light of future data. The results indicate that fitting realizations of the normal distribution to a different probability density function produces better results from the perspective of predictive ability. Similarly, a set of simulations using the exponential distribution shows that better predictions are obtained when the corresponding realizations are fitted to a probability density function that is slightly different from the exponential distribution. These observations demonstrate that when the form of the probability density function that generates the data is known, the use of another form of the probability density function may achieve more desirable results from the standpoint of prediction.

It is shown that, in some particular cases, it is equivalent to characterize a continuous distribution by properties of records and by properties of order statistics. As an application, we give a simple proof that if two successive jth record values and associated to an i.i.d. sequence are such that and are independent, then the sequence has to derive from an exponential distribution (in the continuous case). The equivalence breaks up for discrete distributions, for which we give a proof that the only distributions such that Xk, n and Xk+1, n – Xk, n are independent for some k ≧ 2 (where Xk, n is the kth order statistic of X1, ···, Xn) are degenerate.
