Bayesian And Frequentist Approaches Robustness In Variance Components Estimation, Hamdy F. F. Mahmoud

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

Variance components and functions thereof are important in many fields such as industry, agriculture, quantitative genetics and animal breeding. This paper contributes to evaluating the variance components estimation approaches and assessing their robustness to outliers. Using an intensive simulation study and under different settings, it was found that researchers can decide which method of estimation is appropriate to their study to estimate the variance components based on the source of outliers (error term, εi j or random effects, αi), the variance components ratio, and the sample size.

Study Of Disaster Probability When Strength Follows Power Function Distribution And Stress Follows Odd Generalised Exponential Gompertz Distribution(Oge-G), Surinder Kumar, Vaidehi Singh, Prem Lata Gautam

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

In this article, the probability of disaster is studied when the strength of the items follows power function distribution and the stress of the manufactured items/devices follows OGE-G distribution. In order to study the probability of disaster, a relationship between the parameters of OGE-G and power function distribution is established through the reliability measure P = Pr(Y > X). Finally, through the relationship among the parameters involved in the model is used to get the optimum cost function when the cost function is linear in terms of parameters.

Implementing Logarithmic Type Estimation Procedure For Population Mean In Successive Sampling, P. Mukhopadhyay, A. Bandyopadhyay, G. N. Singh

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

Abstract: Bahl, S. and Tuteja R.K. (1991) [1] introduced exponential structure which earned considerable success among the survey statisticians. The present paper, getting inspiration from that, attempts to introduce a new chain type ratio estimator using logarithmic function structure. The estimator is applied in successive sampling situation where complete response is presumed at both occasions. We have studied the properties of the suggested estimator and also derived its optimum condition. The strength of the proposed estimator over the conventional ones has been discussed, through numerical illustrations, taking into account four standard data sets from various situations. Encouraged with the outcomes …

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

In this paper, we introduce an extension for the slash distribution, called double slash distribution which, is a heavy tailed compared to slash distribution. The univariate and multivariate forms for the proposed model are proposed. Moreover, moments and the invariant property under linear transformations are discussed. A simulation study is performed to investigate asymptotically the bias properties of the estimators. Finally, a real data application is analyzed to obtain the flexibility of the new model.

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

In this paper, the parameters of Ailamujia distribution are estimated under partially accelerated life test (PALT). The maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods are used. The Bayes estimates of the parameters under squared error (SE) loss functions and linear exponential (LINEX) loss function by using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are obtained. Further, the explicit expression for moments and recurrence relations between moments of progressive Type-II censored data are also obtained. Finally, simulation study is carried out to compare the different methods of estimation.

Mg Exponentiated Pareto Distribution, Hussein Eledum, S. I. Ansari

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

In this paper, we have introduced a new generalization of the Exponentiated Pareto distribution named as the MG Exponentiated Pareto (MGEP) distribution based on MG transmutation map introduced by Kumar et al.

Asymptotic variance and covariance matrix of the estimators are obtained by using the Fisher Information Matrix. Confidence intervals for parameters and respective errors …

A Probability Model For The Number Of Female Child Births, Anup Kumar

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

We analysed the phenomenon of ‘son preference’ that is prevalent in the Indian society, through a probability model for the number of female childbirths among females of Indian society. In [1], a probability model for the number of female childbirths was applied to an observed set of data taken from NFHS-III (2005-06) for the seven North-East states of India. Some problem regarding the application of the model to the data set is found and the proper solution is suggested. The modified approach is illustrated to observed data set taken from NFHS-III(2005-06) for few states of India of different regions.

Statistical Analysis Of Fertility Control Measures In Diverse Group Of Females, Brijesh Pratap Singh, Sonam Maheshwari, Puneet Kumar Gupta

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

Fertility in India will continue to decline steadily to below-replacement levels towards the end of the century, and then recover early next century. Averages aggregated at the national level however, mask the considerable economic, cultural and spatial heterogeneity at the regional level, which in turn, have a profound influence on the level and pace of fertility decline. Conventional fertility theories highlight the influence of modernization, social and economic development and diffusion of changing ideas and individualistic values on the desired number of children. In this study estimation of fertility pattern is analyzed by two fertility control measure. First measure is …

Likelihood Of Surviving Children Using A Probability Model, Shubhagata Roy

Journal of Statistics Applications & Probability

Child birth is a natural phenomenon which is required to develop a society. Controlled population growth is a boon for any developing country and taking care of it is the prime responsibility of the concerned government. Unfortunately, in India, child mortality had been a real curse for decades and there were no concrete models which could estimate the number of surviving children in a given time period. In the recent times, lots of initiatives have been taken by the government and other agencies for controlling the fast growing population and at the same time to reduce child mortality. Few of …
