چکیده

Coefficient of variation has been widely used as a measure of precision of measurement equipment in particular for medical laboratories. The objective of this paper is to Inference for the coefficient of variation in uniform distributions. By using the two approaches of central limit theorem and generalized variable, confidence interval for coefficient of variation are considered. The coverage properties of the proposed confidence intervals for proposed two methods are assessment by simulation. An example using data of the approved metrological company from Iran Standard and Industrial Researches Organization is provided.

Optimal flexible capacity in newsboy problem under stochastic demand and lead-time

In this paper, we consider a newsvendor who is going to invest on dedicated or flexible capacity, our goal is to find the optimal investment policy to maximize total profit while the newsvendor faces uncertainty in lead time and demand simultaneously. As highlighted in literature, demand is stochastic, while lead time is constant. However, in reality lead time uncertainty decreases newsvendor's...

Estimating a Bounded Normal Mean Under the LINEX Loss Function

Let X be a random variable from a normal distribution with unknown mean θ and known variance σ2. In many practical situations, θ is known in advance to lie in an interval, say [−m,m], for some m > 0. As the usual estimator of θ, i.e., X under the LINEX loss function is inadmissible, finding some competitors for X becomes worthwhile. The only study in the literature considered the problem of min...

ESTIMATING THE MEAN OF INVERSE GAUSSIAN DISTRIB WTION WITH KNOWN COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION UNDER ENTROPY LOSS

An estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse Gaussian distribution IG(µ, C µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. A class of Bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include MRSE estimator as its closure. Two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions

Determinants of Healthcare Expenditure in Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) Countries: Evidence from Panel Cointegration Tests

Background Over the last decade there has been an increase in healthcare expenditures while at the same time the inequity in distribution of resources has grown. These two issues have urged the researchers to review the determinants of healthcare expenditures. In this study, we surveyed the determinants of health expenditures in Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) countries.   Methods We us...
