Estimation of two ordered bivariate mean residual life functions

Conditional Mean Residual Life Estimation

Smooth estimation of mean residual life

Abstract: We propose here a smooth estimator of the mean residual life function based on randomly censored data. This is derived by smoothing the product-limit estimator using the Chaubey-Sen technique (Chaubey and Sen (1998)). The resulting estimator does not suffer from boundary bias as is the case with standard kernel smoothing. The asymptotic properties of the estimator are investigated. We...

Bivariate Characterized Model Based on Mean Residual Life Properties

This paper uses the concept of characterized model for bivariate extensions of univariate life distributions based on mean residual life properties. Different bivariate distributions can be generated from different choices of marginal distributions. The retention of univariate IMRL, DMRL, NBUE, NWUE, HNBUE and HNWUE class properties in the bivariate setup has been ensured along with results of ...

Estimation of a Monotone Mean Residual Life

Mean Residual Life Estimation Considering Operating Environment

The cost of maintenance of mechanized and automated mining systems is too high necessitating efforts to enhance the effectiveness of maintenance systems and organization. For effective maintenance planning, it is important to have a good understanding of the reliability and availability characteristics of the systems. This is essential for determining the Mean Residual Life (MRL) of systems so ...
