This paper introduces, investigates, and discusses the γ-order generalized lognormal distribution (γ-GLD). Under certain values of the extra shape parameter γ, the usual lognormal, log-Laplace, and log-uniform distribution, are obtained, as well as the degenerate Dirac distribution.The shape of all themembers of the γ-GLD family is extensively discussed.The cumulative distribution function is e...

The problem of hypothesis testing of the location parameter of the two-parameter exponential distribution and scale parameter of the pareto and uniform distribution are considered. We construct the test statistics based on Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) and Extreme RSS (ERSS) and compared their powers to the power of Uniformly Most Powerful (UMP) test by numerical computation. The results show that ...

SPECT detects γ-rays from administered radiopharmaceutical within the patient body. γ-rays pass through different tissues before reaching detectors and are attenuated. Attenuation can cause artifacts; therefore different methods are used to minimize attenuation effects. In our study efficacy of Chang method was evaluated for attenuation purpose, using a custom made heart phantom. Due to d...

introduction: the main goal of spect imaging is to determine activity distribution inside the organs of the body. however, due to photon attenuation, it is almost impossible to do a quantitative study. in this paper, we suggest a mathematical relationship between activity distribution and its corresponding projections using a transfer matrix. monte carlo simulation was used to find a precise tr...
