BATHTUB HAZARD RATE DISTRIBUTIONS AND FUZZY LIFE TIMES
Authors
Abstract:
The development of life time analysis started back in the $20^{textit{th}}$ century and since then comprehensive developments have been made to model life time data efficiently. Recent development in measurements shows that all continuous measurements can not be measured as precise numbers but they are more or less fuzzy. Life time is also a continuous phenomenon, and has already been shown that life time observations are not precise measurements but fuzzy. Therefore, the corresponding analysis techniques employed on the data require to consider fuzziness of the observations to obtain appropriate estimates.In this study generalized estimators for the parameters and hazard rates are proposed for bathtub failure rate distributions to model fuzzy life time data effectively.

full textDiscrete Life Distributions with Decreasing Reversed Hazard
This paper considers the class of discrete distributions for which the distribution function is a log-concave sequence. It is shown that such distributions arise from a wide variety of circumstances in Reliability, and that these have a decreasing reversed hazard rate. After examining the closures of the class under certain key operations, sharp upper and lower bounds on the reliability functio...
full textLimiting Conditional Distributions: Imprecision and Relation to the Hazard Rate
Many Markov chains with a single absorbing state have a unique limiting conditional distribution (LCD) to which they converge, conditioned on non-absorption, regardless of the initial distribution. If this limiting conditional distribution is used as the initial distribution over the non-absorbing states, then the probability distribution of the process at time n, conditioned on non-absorption,...
full textA flexible parametric survival model which allows a bathtub shaped hazard rate function
A new parametric (3-parameter) survival distribution, the lognormal-power function distribution, with flexible behaviour is introduced. Its hazard rate function can be either unimodal, monotonically decreasing or can exhibit a bathtub shape. Special cases include the lognormal distribution and the power function distribution, with finite support. Regions of parameter space where the various for...
full textNonparametric estimation of a convex bathtub-shaped hazard function.
In this paper, we study the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a convex hazard function. We show that the MLE is consistent and converges at a local rate of n(2/5) at points x(0) where the true hazard function is positive and strictly convex. Moreover, we establish the pointwise asymptotic distribution theory of our estimator under these same assumptions. One notable feature of...
full textBayesian Analysis of Survival Models with Bathtub Hazard Rates
SUMMARY Nonparametric Bayesian inference using bathtub hazard rates in survival analysis is developed. A new simulation method, Auxiliary Random Functions, is introduced. When used within a Gibbs sampler, this method enables a uniied treatment of exact, right-censored, left-censored, left-trucated and interval censored data, with and without covariates. The models and methods are exempliied via...
