In this paper, we derive the exact analytical expressions for the Shannon entropy of generalized orderstatistics from Pareto-type and related distributions.

The setting of the control limits to utilize on a control chart supposes the assumption of the normality. However, in many situations, this condition does not hold. There are numerous studies on the control charts when the underlying distribution is non-normal. This paper examines the effects of non-normality as measured by skewness and provides an alternative method of designing individuals co...

Conventional burr-hole buttons sometimes do not fit the burr hole well due to the curvature of the surrounding bone. An irregular surface at the border between the button and the surrounding skull may appear unaesthetic. The major problem is the difference between the curvature radius of the skull and the burr-hole button in contact with the skull. To solve this problem, the authors designed a ...

Abstract. Generalizing lifetime distributions is always precious for applied statisticians. In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions by compounding the Burr XII and power series distributions. The compounding procedure follows the key idea by Adamidis and Loukas (1998) or, more generally, by Chahkandi and Ganjali (2009) and Morais and BarretoSouza (2011). The proposed family in...

In this paper, we modify the Burr-XII distribution through inverse exponential scheme to obtain a new two-parameter on unit interval called distribution. The basic statistical properties of newly defined are studied. Parameters estimation is dealt and different methods assessed two simulation studies. A quantile regression model based proposed introduced. Applications its real data sets show th...

chronic subdural hematoma (csdh) is a curable entity frequently encountered by neurosurgeons. the present study was conducted to explore expert opinion and common practice in iran. besides, a review of randomized clinical trials in literature was performed. a questionnaire including six questions discussing major aspects of practice on csdh, with multiple choices was designed. a pilot study was...

OBJECTIVE Burr-hole irrigation and burr-hole drainage without irrigation are the most popular methods for treatment of chronic subdural haematoma. It is not well known if irrigation is necessary or which method has a higher recurrence rate. We compared the recurrence rates of those two methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-two patients were treated by burr-hole irrigation (irrigation group), w...

Transfer entropy is a frequently employed measure of conditional co-dependence in non-parametric analysis of Granger causality. In this paper, we derive analytical expressions for transfer entropy for the multivariate exponential, logistic, Pareto (type I − IV) and Burr distributions. The latter two fall into the class of fat-tailed distributions with power law properties, used frequently in bi...
