Bayesian Nonparametric Estimation in a Series System or a Competing-Risks Model
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a Bayesian nonparametric approach to the estimation of a system and its components’ survival functions arising from observing the failure of a series system or a competing-risks model. A Dirichlet multivariate process is used as a prior for the vector of the components’ random subsurvival function to derive the Bayes estimator of the survival function when the cause of failure belongs to a certain risk subset. The weak convergence and the strong consistency of the estimator are established. The special case when the system has only two components corresponds to well studied randomly censored model.

Parametric Estimation in a Recurrent Competing Risks Model
A resource-efficient approach to making inferences about the distributional properties of the failure times in a competing risks setting is presented. Efficiency is gained by observing recurrences of the compet- ing risks over a random monitoring period. The resulting model is called the recurrent competing risks model (RCRM) and is coupled with two repair strategies whenever the system fails. ...
متن کاملBayesian nonparametric mixed-effects joint model for longitudinal-competing risks data analysis in presence of multiple data features.
Recently, the joint analysis of longitudinal and survival data has been an active research area. Most joint models focus on survival data with only one type of failure. The research on joint modeling of longitudinal and competing risks survival data is sparse. Even so, many joint models for this type of data assume parametric function forms for both longitudinal and survival sub-models, thus li...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Change Point in Phase One Risk Adjusted Control Charts
Use of risk adjusted control charts for monitoring patients’ surgical outcomes is now popular.These charts are developed based on considering the patient’s pre-operation risks. Change point detection is a crucial problem in statistical process control (SPC).It helpsthe managers toanalyzeroot causes of out-of-control conditions more effectively. Since the control chart signals do not necessarily...

With the increase in environmental awareness, competitions and government policies, implementation of green supply chain management activities to sustain production and conserve resources is becoming more necessary for different organizations. However, it is difficult to successfully implement green supply chain (GSC) activities because of the risks involved. These risks alongside their resourc...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of the Multiple Change Points in Gamma Process Using X-bar chart
The process personnel always seek the opportunity to improve the processes. One of the essential steps for process improvement is to quickly recognize the starting time or the change point of a process disturbance. Different from the traditional normally distributed assumption for a process, this study considers a process which follows a gamma process. In addition, we consider the possibility o...
