On Performance of Reconstructed Middle Order Statistics in Exponential Distribution

Authors

Abstract:

 In a number of life-testing experiments, there exist situations where the monitoring breaks down for a temporary period of time. In such cases, some parts of the ordered observations, for example the middle ones, are censored and the only outcomes available for analysis consist of the lower and upper order statistics. Therefore, the experimenter may not gain the complete information on failure times for all experimental units. So, the accuracy of some statistical inferences may be decreases. In this paper, the effect of reconstructing missing order statistics on the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the mean of the exponential distribution is investigated. To illustrate the proposed procedure in the paper, a real example is presented and using a simulation study, it will be shown that the reconstructing missing order statistics improves the estimation of the parameter of interest.

Reconstruction of Order Statistics in Exponential Distribution

In this article, a new censoring scheme is considered, namely, a middle part of a random sample is censored. A treatment for reconstructing the missing order statistics is investigated. The proposed procedure is studied in detail under exponential distribution which is widely used as a constant failure model in reliability. Different approaches are used to obtain point and interval reconstructo...

On Generalized Order Statistics from Exponential Distribution

Let X be a non-negative random variable (r.v.) with cumulative distribution function (cdf) F. Suppose X(r, n,m, k), (r = 1, 2, . . . , n), m is a real number and k ≥ 1, is the rth smallest generalized order statistic. Several distributional properties of the generalized order statistics from exponential distribution are given. Some characterizations of the exponential distribution based on the ...

On Concomitants of Order Statistics for Bivariate Pseudo Exponential Distribution

In this paper we have obtained the distribution of concomitant of order statistics for Bivariate Pseudo-Exponential distribution. The expression for moments has also been obtained. We have found that only the fractional moments of the distribution exist. The tables for survival function and hazard function has also been obtained.

Recurrence Relations for Single and Product Moments of Generalized Order Statistics from pth Order Exponential Distribution and its Characterization

In this paper, we establish some recurrence relations for single and product moments of generalized order statistics from pth order exponential distribution. Further the results are deduced for the recurrence relations of record values and ordinary order statistics and using a recurrence relation for single moments we obtain characterization of pth order exponential distribution.
