A tabu search algorithm is proposed for finding the Pareto solutions of multiobjective optimal design problems. In this paper, the contact theorem is used to evaluate the Pareto solutions. The ranking selecting approach and the fitness sharing function are also introduced to identify new current points to begin every iteration cycle. Detailed numerical results are reported in this paper to demo...

In this paper, we propose a bivariate extension of univariate composite (two-spliced) distributions defined by Pareto distribution for values larger than some thresholds and Gumbel on the complementary domain. The purpose is to capture behavior data consisting mainly small medium but also extreme values. Some properties proposed are presented. Further, two estimation procedures discussed illust...

In this paper, we study properties of exp-uniform distribution and its applications. We provide closed forms for the density function and moments of order statistics and we also discuss estimation of the parameters via the maximum likelihood method. We will present certain characterizations of exp-uniform distribution. The applications of this distribution are illustrated by fitting it to three...
