1. A New Zero-Truncated Version of the Poisson Burr XII Distribution: Characterizations and Properties

Haitham M. Yousof, Mohammad Ahsanullah, Mohamed G. Khalil
Pages: 1 - 11
In this work, a new four-parameter zero-truncated Poisson Topp Leone Burr XII distribution is defined and studied. Various structural mathematical properties of the proposed model including ordinary and incomplete moments, residual and reversed residual life functions, generating functions, order statistics...

2. A Family of Ratio Estimators in Stratified Random Sampling Utilizing Auxiliary Attribute Along Side the Nonresponse Issue

Usman Shahzad, Muhammad Hanif, Nursel Koyuncu, A. V. Garcia Luengo
Pages: 12 - 25
This article proposes some estimators based on an adaptation of the estimators developed by Bahl and Tuteja [1], Diana [2], Koyuncu and Kadilar [3], Koyuncu and Kadilar [4], Shabbir and Gupta [5], and Koyuncu [6] utilizing available supplementry attributes. Further, a new family of estimators is also...

3. Interval Estimation of the Overlapping Coefficient of Two Exponential Distributions

Sibil Jose, Seemon Thomas, Thomas Mathew
Pages: 26 - 32
For the overlapping coefficient between two one-parameter or two-parameter exponential distributions, confidence intervals are developed using generalized pivotal quantities. The accuracy of the proposed solutions are assessed using estimated coverage probabilities, and are also compared with other approximate...

4. Discrete Additive Weibull Geometric Distribution

K. Jayakumar, M. Girish Babu
Pages: 33 - 45
Discretizing a continuous distribution has received much attention among researchers recently. Discrete analogue of the well-known continuous distributions such as Normal, Exponential, Weibull, Laplace, Rayleigh, and so on, are available in the literature. In this paper, we introduce a discrete version...

5. On Partially Linear Single-Index Models with Missing Response and Error-in-Variable Predictors

Tsung-Lin Cheng, Yin-Ying Lin, Xuewen Lu, Radhey Singh
Pages: 46 - 64
In this paper, we consider a partially linear single-index model when missing responses and nonlinear regressors with measurement error are taken into account. Utilizing data imputation for missing values and regression calibration for error-prone regressors, we not only estimate the parameters in the...

6. Statistical Inference for Topp–Leone-generated Family of Distributions Based on Records

Mohd Arshad, Qazi Azhad Jamal
Pages: 65 - 78
In this paper, we consider a general family of distributions generated by Topp–Leone distribution (known as TL family of distributions) proposed by Rezaei et al. [1]. We consider the problem of estimation of the shape parameter, scale parameter, and reliability function based on record data from TL family...

7. Bayes and Non-Bayes Estimation of Change Point in Nonstandard Mixture Inverse Weibull Distribution

Masoud Ganji, Roghayeh Mostafayi
Pages: 79 - 86
We consider a sequence of independent random variables X1,X2,…,Xm,…,Xnn≥3 exhibiting a change in the probability distribution of the data generating mechanism. We suppose that the distribution changes at some point, called a change point, to a second distribution for the remaining observations. We propose...
