hershfield method is commonly used for computing probable maximum precipitation (pmp) in most parts of the world for which the frequency factor (km) is considered to be 15 for computing 24-h pmp (pmp24). this value may not be suitable for different stations under different climatic conditions. in 1986 the world meteorological organization standardized the hershfield method and introduced the re...

Many negative δ(13)C excursions in marine carbonates from the geological record are interpreted to record significant biogeochemical events in early Earth history. The assumption that no post-depositional processes can simultaneously alter carbonate and organic δ(13)C values towards more negative values is the cornerstone of this approach. However, the effects of post-depositional alteration on...

This paper address the problem of Bayesian estimation of the parameters, reliability and hazard function in the context of record statistics values from the two-parameter Lomax distribution. The ML and the Bayes estimates based on records are derived for the two unknown parameters and the survival time parameters, reliability and hazard functions. The Bayes estimates are obtained based on conju...

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.
