Introduction: In the field of medical research, empirical Bayesian analysis has emerged as an increasingly applicable approach. This statistical framework offers greater flexibility, enabling researchers to incorporate prior information and rigorously estimate parameters of interest. However, the selection of suitable prior distributions can be a challenging endeavor, with profound implications for the resulting inferences. To address this challenge, this study proposes a new analytical procedure that leverages resampling techniques to guide the choice of priors in Bayesian analysis. Subject and Methods: The study group consisted of patients who had been diagnosed and had died of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (cause-specific death) who …

In this paper, fundamental results of the joint distribution of the bivariate exponential distributions are established. The positive support multivariate distribution theory is important in reliability and survival analysis, and we applied it to the case where more than one failure or survival is observed in a given study. Usually, the multivariate distribution is restricted to those with marginal distributions of a specified and familiar lifetime family. The family of exponential distribution contains the absolutely continuous and discrete case models with a nonzero probability on a set of measure zero. Examples are given, and estimators are developed and applied to …

Linear Dependency For The Difference In Exponential Regression, Indika Sathish, Norou Diawara
Mathematics & Statistics Faculty Publications
In the field of reliability, a lot has been written on the analysis of phenomena that are related. Estimation of the difference of two population means have been mostly formulated under the no-correlation assumption. However, in many situations, there is a correlation involved. This paper addresses this issue. A sequential estimation method for linearly related lifetime distributions is presented. Estimations for the scale parameters of the exponential distribution are given under square error loss using a sequential prediction method. Optimal stopping rules are discussed using concepts of mean criteria, and numerical results are presented.
