An impressive array of paper has been devoted to the reliability properties and the hazard rates of the order statistics along with IFR (increasing failure rate) and DFR (decreasing failure rate) property. However, studies relating to the Bayesian estimation on the repairable system along with IFR property of the failure time distribution and on the repair time distributions have received compa...

OBJECTIVES Currently, probiotics are increasingly used as the alternative to antibiotics as well as the preventive measures in humans. In particular, probiotics occupy a key position in the treatment of antibiotics-associated intestinal dysbiosis. A spore-forming microorganism lactobacillus Bacillus coagulans is one of the most promising probiotics. However, some of its pharmacological effects ...

The ranked set sampling (RSS) is an effective scheme popularly used to produce more precisely estimators. Despite its popularity, RSS suffers from some drawbacks which includes high sensitivity outliers and it cannot sometimes be applicable when the population relatively small. To overcome these limitations, varied L (VLRSS) recently introduced. It shown that VLRSS enjoys with many interesting ...

The Truncated Cauchy Power Weibull-G class is presented as a new family of distributions. Unique models for this are in paper. statistical aspects the explored, including expansion density function, moments, incomplete moments (IMOs), residual life and reversed functions, entropy. maximum likelihood (ML) Bayesian estimations developed based on Type-II censored sample. properties Bayes estimator...

In this paper, we draw on both the consistent specification testing and the predictive ability testing literatures and propose an integrated conditional moment type predictive accuracy test that is similar in spirit to that developed in Bierens (1982,1990) and Bierens and Ploberger (1997). The test is consistent against generic nonlinear alternatives, and is designed for comparing nested models...

Background: The dynamic phantom is one of the best tools to study the impact of motion on tumor target delineation and absorbed dose verification during dose delivery. Materials and Methods: this study, a 6-DOF (degrees of freedom) phantom was designed following the stacked serial kinematics and assembled by six commercial motion stages to generate 6-DOF motion, which were RotX (pitch, around X...

Location theory is an interstice field of optimization and operations research‎. ‎In the classic location models‎, ‎the goal is finding the location of one or more facilities such that some criteria such as transportation cost‎, ‎the sum of distances passed by clients‎, ‎total service time, and cost of servicing are minimized‎. ‎The goal Weber location problem is a special case of location mode...
