Abstract
Recently, a growing interest is evident in modelling dependent competing risks in lifetime prognosis problems. In this work, we propose to model the dependent competing risks by Marshal-Olkin bivariate exponential distribution. The observable data consists of a number of failures due to different causes across different time intervals. The failure count data is common in instances like one-shot devices where the state of the subjects is inspected at different inspection times rather than the exact failure times. The point estimation of the lifetime distribution in the presence of competing risk has been studied through a divergence-based robust estimation method called minimum density power divergence estimation (MDPDE) with and without constraint. The optimal value of the tuning parameter has been obtained. The testing of the hypothesis is performed based on a Wald-type test statistic. The influence function is derived for the point estimator and the test statistic, reflecting the degree of robustness. Another key contribution of this work is determining the optimal inspection times based on predefined objectives. This article presents the determination of multi-criteria-based optimal design. Population-based heuristic algorithm nondominated sorting-based multiobjective Genetic algorithm is exploited to solve this optimization problem.
期刊介绍:
ASMBI - Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry (formerly Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis) was first published in 1985, publishing contributions in the interface between stochastic modelling, data analysis and their applications in business, finance, insurance, management and production. In 2007 ASMBI became the official journal of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (www.isbis.org). The main objective is to publish papers, both technical and practical, presenting new results which solve real-life problems or have great potential in doing so. Mathematical rigour, innovative stochastic modelling and sound applications are the key ingredients of papers to be published, after a very selective review process.
The journal is very open to new ideas, like Data Science and Big Data stemming from problems in business and industry or uncertainty quantification in engineering, as well as more traditional ones, like reliability, quality control, design of experiments, managerial processes, supply chains and inventories, insurance, econometrics, financial modelling (provided the papers are related to real problems). The journal is interested also in papers addressing the effects of business and industrial decisions on the environment, healthcare, social life. State-of-the art computational methods are very welcome as well, when combined with sound applications and innovative models.
