In this article an attempt has been made to develop a flexible single parameter continuous distribution using Weibull distribution. The Weibull distribution is most widely used lifetime distributions in both medical and engineering sectors. The exponential and Rayleigh distribution is particular case of Weibull distribution. Here in this study we use these two distributions for developing a new distribution. Important statistical properties of the proposed distribution is discussed such as moments, moment generating and characteristic function. Various entropy measures like Rényi, Shannon and cumulative entropy are also derived. The kthkth order statistics of pdf and cdf also obtained. The properties of hazard function and their limiting behavior is discussed. The maximum likelihood estimate of the parameter is obtained that is not in closed form, thus iteration procedure is used to obtain the estimate. Simulation study has been done for different sample size and MLE, MSE, Bias for the parameter λλ has been observed. Some real data sets are used to check the suitability of model over some other competent distributions for some data sets from medical and engineering science. In the tail area, the proposed model works better. Various model selection criterion such as -2LL, AIC, AICc, BIC, K-S and A-D test suggests that the proposed distribution perform better than other competent distributions and thus considered this as an alternative distribution. The proposed single parameter distribution is found more flexible as compare to some other two parameter complicated distributions for the data sets considered in the present study.

Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are designed to investigate the lifetime of extraordinarily reliable things by exposing them to increased stress levels of stressors such as temperature, voltage, pressure, and so on, in order to cause early breakdowns. The Nadarajah-Haghighi (NH) distribution is of tremendous importance and practical relevance in many real-life scenarios due to its attractive qualities such as its density function always has a zero mode and its hazard rate function can be increasing, decreasing, or constant. In this article, the NH distribution is considered as a lifetime distribution under the step stress partially accelerated life testing (SSPALT) model with adaptive type II progressively hybrid censored samples. The unknown model parameters and acceleration factors are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method assuming that the impact of stress change in SSPALT is explained by a tampered random variable (TRV) model. The Fisher information matrix, which is based on large sample theory, is also constructed and used to produce the approximate confidence intervals (ACIs). Furthermore, two potential optimum test strategies based on the A and D optimality criteria are evaluated. To investigate the performance of the proposed methodologies and statistical assumptions established in this article, extensive simulations using R software have been conducted. Finally, to further illustrate the suggested approach, a real-world example based on the times between breakdowns for a repairable system has been provided.

It is essential to monitor the mean of a process regarding quality characteristics for the ongoing production. For enhancement of mean monitoring power of the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart, a new median quartile double ranked set sampling (MQDRSS) based EWMA control chart is proposed and named as EWMA-MQDRSS chart. In order to study the performance of the developed EWMA-MQDRSS chart, performance measures; average run length, and the standard deviation of run length are used. The shift detection ability of the proposed chart has been compared with counterparts, under the simple random sampling and ranking based sampling techniques. The extensive simulation-based results indicate that the EWMA-MQDRSS chart performs better to trace all kinds of shifts than the existing charts. An illustrative application concerning monitoring the diameter of the piston ring of a machine is also provided to demonstrate the practical utilization of the suggested chart.

This paper is an attempt to develop an estimator for finite population mean. Motivated by Kiregyera (1984), a ratio in ratio type exponential strategy is developed for estimation of population mean in double sampling for stratification. To compare with relevant considered estimators, expressions for bias and mean squared error of the developed estimator have been derived. The developed estimator has been compared with usual unbiased estimator, Ige and Tripathi (1987), ratio estimator and ratio type exponential estimator given by Tailor et al (2014) theoretically as well as empirically.

Population scientists are generally developing mathematical models/techniques in demography and to provide brief explanation of extensive data sets. The prime objective of the present paper is to propose a probability model to illustrate the distribution of female’s age at first menstrual onset. Menarcheal age distribution is used to evaluate risk associated to reproductive issues and may be used as a demographic indicator of female fecundity. The suitability of proposed model is tested with the real data sets. Parameters of the proposed distribution have been estimated through least square estimation technique. It is observed that older female’s age at menarche is somewhat higher than the younger female’s age at menarche. Also we have constructed a life table for menarcheal age using a probability model. This life table is enable to provide expected duration of getting menarche for a girl of a particular age.

Estimation of parameters of Poisson Nadarajah-Haghighi (PNH) distribution from the frequentist and Bayesian point of view is discussed in this article. To this end, we briefly described ten different frequentist approaches, namely, the maximum likelihood estimators, percentile based estimators, least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators, minimum spacing absolute distance estimators, minimum spacing absolute-log distance estimators, Cramér-von Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling estimators and right-tail Anderson-Darling estimators. To assess the performance of different estimators, Monte Carlo simulations are done for small and large samples. The performance of the estimators is compared in terms of their bias, root mean squares error, average absolute difference between the true and estimated distribution functions, and the maximum absolute difference between the true and estimated distribution functions of the estimates using simulated data. For the Bayesian inference of the unknown parameters, we use Metropolis–Hastings (MH) algorithm to calculate the Bayes estimates and the corresponding credible intervals. Results from the simulation study suggests that among the considered classical methods of estimation, weighted least squares and the maximum product spacing estimators uniformly produces the least biases of the estimates with least root mean square errors. However, Bayes estimates perform better than all other estimates. Finally, we discuss a practical data set to show the application of the distribution.

In the present piece of work, we are going to propose a new trigonometry based transformation called PCM transformation. We have been obtained its various statistical properties such as survival function, hazard rate function, reverse-hazard rate function, moment generating function, median, stochastic ordering etc. Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) method under classical approach and Bayesian approaches are tackled to obtain the estimate of unknown parameter. A real dataset has been applied to check its fitness on the basis of fitting criterions Akaike Information criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information criterion (BIC), log-likelihood (-LL) and Kolmogrov-Smirnov (KS) test statistic values in real sense. A simulation study is also being conducted to assess the estimator’s long-term attitude and compared over some chosen distributions.

Birnbaum-Saunders distribution has been widely studied in statistical literature because this distribution accommodates several interesting properties. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new parametric distribution based on the Birnbaum-Saunders model and develop a new acceptance sampling plans for derived extended Birnbaum-Saunders distribution when the mean lifetime test is truncated at a predetermined time. For various acceptance numbers, confidence levels and values of the ratio of the fixed experimental time to the specified mean life, the minimum sample size necessary to assure a specified mean lifetime worked out. The results are illustrated by a numerical example. The operating characteristic functions of the sampling plans and producer’s risk and the ratio of true mean life to a specified mean life that ensures acceptance with a pre-assigned probability are tabulated. This paper presents relevant characteristics of the new distribution and a new acceptance sampling plans when the lifetime of a product adopts an extended Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. Based on this study, the optimal number of testers demanded is decreases as test termination time increases. Moreover, the operating characteristic values increases as the mean life ratio increases, which indicate that items with increased mean life will be accepted with higher probability compared with items with lower mean life ratio.

In this paper, Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods are used for parameter estimation of weighted Rayleigh (WR) distribution. Posterior distributions are derived under the assumption of informative and non-informative priors. The Bayes estimators and associated risks are obtained under different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. Results are compared on the basis of posterior risk and mean square error using simulated and real life data sets. The study depicts that in order to estimate the scale parameter of the weighted Rayleigh distribution use of entropy loss function under Gumbel type II prior can be preferred. Also, Bayesian method of estimation having least values of mean squared error gives better results as compared to maximum likelihood method of estimation.
