@bullet M)ment Spaces for Ifr Distributions, Applications and Related Material

چکیده
Some useful topological properties of the moment space of the family of distributions with increasing failure rates are established. These results are exploited to obtain tight inequalities for moments of such distributions and also to derive some interesting facts concerning weak convergence within this family.

Totally probabilistic Lp spaces
In this paper, we introduce the notion of probabilistic valued measures as a generalization of non-negative measures and construct the corresponding Lp spaces, for distributions p > "0. It is alsoshown that if the distribution p satises p "1 then, as in the classical case, these spaces are completeprobabilistic normed spaces.
متن کاملA Statistical Study of two Diffusion Processes on Torus and Their Applications
Diffusion Processes such as Brownian motions and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes are the classes of stochastic processes that have been investigated by researchers in various disciplines including biological sciences. It is usually assumed that the outcomes of these processes are laid on the Euclidean spaces. However, some data in physical, chemical and biological phenomena indicate that they cann...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Shape of the Mixture Failure Rate (with Engineering and Demographic Applications)
Mixtures of distributions are usually effectively used for modeling heterogeneity. It is well known that mixtures of DFR distributions are always DFR. On the other hand, mixtures of IFR distributions can decrease, at least in some intervals of time. As IFR distributions often model lifetimes governed by ageing processes, the operation of mixing can dramatically change the pattern of ageing. The...
