In this paper, point and interval estimation of stress-strength reliability based on upper record ranked set sampling (RRSS) from one-parameter exponential distribution are considered. Maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) as well as the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE) of stress-strength parameter are derived and their performance are studied. Also, some confidence intervals for stress-strength parameter based on upper RRSS are constructed and then compared on the basis of a simulation study. Finally, a data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

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.

In this paper, point and interval estimation of stress-strength reliability based on lower record ranked set sampling scheme under the proportional reversed hazard rate model are considered. Maximum likelihood, uniformly minimum variance unbiased, and Bayesian estimators of $\mathcal{R}$ are derived and their performances are compared. Various confidence intervals for the parameter $\mathcal{R}$ are constructed, and compared based on the simulation study. Moreover, the record ranked set sampling scheme is compared with ordinary records in case of interval estimations. Finally, a data set has been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Abstract In this study, we estimate the parameters of the Generalized Exponential Distribution using Moving Extreme Ranked Set Sampling (MERSS). Using the maximum likelihood estimation method, we derive the expressions. MERSS estimates are compared with estimates obtained by simple random sampling (SRS) using a real data set. We also study the other variations of the methods of Ranked Set Sampling like Quartile Ranked Set Sampling(QRSS), Median Ranked Set Sampling(MRSS) and Flexible Ranked Set Sampling(FLERSS) (a scheme based on QRSS and MRSS). For known shape parameter values, we present coefficients for linear combinations of order statistics for least squares estimates. Here, the expressions are derived through maximum likelihood, and the estimates are calculated numerically. Simulated results indicate that estimates generated using least-squares and the maximum likelihood method for Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) perform better than those generated using Simple Random Sampling (SRS). Asymptotically, MERSS outperforms SRS, QRSS, MRSS, and FLERSS.

AbstractIn the present paper, different estimators of the Pareto parameter α will be proposed and compared to each others.First traditional estimators of α as the maximum likelihood estimator and the moment estimator will be deduced and their statistical properties will be analyzed. It is shown that the maximum likelihood estimator is biased but it can easily be modified to an minimum-variance unbiased estimator of a. But still the coefficient of variance of this estimator is very large.For similar portfolios containing same types of risks we will expect the estimated α-values to be at the same level. Therefore, credibility theory is used to obtain an alternative estimator of α which will be more stable and less sensitive to random fluctuations in the observed losses.Finally, an estimator of the risk premium for an unlimited excess of loss cover will be proposed. It is shown that this estimator is a minimum-variance unbiased estimator of the risk premium. This estimator of the risk premium will be compared to the more traditional methods of calculating the risk premium.

     In this paper, the maximum likelihood estimator and the Bayes estimator of the reliability function for negative exponential distribution has been derived, then a Monte –Carlo simulation technique was employed to compare the performance of such estimators. The integral mean square error (IMSE) was used as a criterion for this comparison. The simulation results displayed that the Bayes estimator performed better than the maximum likelihood estimator for different samples sizes.

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.

A flexible ranked set sampling scheme including some various existing sampling methods  is proposed. This scheme may be used to minimize the  error of ranking and the cost of sampling. Based on the data obtained from this scheme, the maximum likelihood estimation as well as the Fisher information are studied for the  scale family of distributions. The existence and uniqueness of  the  maximum likelihood estimator  of the scale parameter of the exponential  and  normal distributions are  investigated. Moreover, the optimal scheme is derived via simulation and numerical computations.

Abstract This article studies the properties of the Topp–Leone linear exponential distribution. The parameters of the new model are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation, and simulation studies are performed to examine the finite sample properties of the parameters. An application of the model is demonstrated using a real data set. Finally, a bivariate extension of the model is proposed.

This article studies the properties of the maximum likelihood estimator of the population proportion in ranked set sampling with extreme ranks. The maximum likelihood estimator is described and its asymptotic distribution is derived. Finite sample size properties of the estimator are investigated using simulation studies. It turns out that the proposed estimator is substantially more efficient than its simple random sampling and ranked set sampling analogs, as the true population proportion tends to zero/unity. The method is illustrated using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new bivariate Kumaraswamy exponential distribution, whose marginals are univariate Kumaraswamy exponential. Some probabilistic properties of this bivariate distribution are derived, such as joint density function, marginal density functions, conditional density functions, moments and stress-strength reliability. Also, we provide the expected information matrix with its elements in a closed form. Estimation of the parameters is investigated by the maximum likelihood, Bayesian and least squares estimation methods. A simulation study is carried out to compare the performance of the estimators by estimation methods. Further, one data set have been analyzed to show how the proposed distribution works in practice.
