Automated selection of r for the r largest order statistics approach with adjustment for sequential testing

The r largest order statistics approach is widely used in extreme value analysis because itmay usemore information from the data than just the block maxima. In practice, the choice of r is critical. If r is too large, bias can occur; if too small, the variance of the estimator can be high. The limiting distribution of the r largest order statistics, denoted byGEVr , extends that of the block ma...

the test for adverse selection in life insurance market: the case of mellat insurance company

انتخاب نامساعد یکی از مشکلات اساسی در صنعت بیمه است. که ابتدا در سال 1960، توسط روتشیلد واستیگلیتز مورد بحث ومطالعه قرار گرفت ازآن موقع تاکنون بسیاری از پژوهشگران مدل های مختلفی را برای تجزیه و تحلیل تقاضا برای صنعت بیمه عمر که تماما ناشی از عدم قطعیت در این صنعت میباشد انجام داده اند .وهدف از آن پیدا کردن شرایطی است که تحت آن شرایط انتخاب یا کنار گذاشتن یک بیمه گزار به نفع و یا زیان شرکت بیمه ...

A sequential order statistics approach to step-stress testing

For general step-stress experiments with arbitrary baseline distributions, wherein the stress levels change immediately after having observed pre-specified numbers of observations under each stress level, a sequential order statistics model is proposed and associated inferential issues are discussed. Maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) of the mean lifetimes at different stress levels are deriv...
