The unit–power Burr X distribution (UPBXD), a bounded version of the power distribution, is presented. UPBXD produced through inverse exponential transformation which also beneficial for modelling data on unit interval. Comprehensive analysis its key characteristics performed, including shape primary functions, analytical expression moments, quantile function, incomplete stochastic ordering, an...

Composite materials are widely employed in the naval, aerospace and transportation industries owing to the combination of being lightweight and having a high modulus of elasticity, strength and stiffness. Drilling is an operation generally used in composite materials to assemble the final product. Damages such as the burr at the drill entrance and exit, geometric deviations and delamination are...

This paper obtains Lorenz ordering relationships among order statistics from log-logistic samples of possibly different sizes. Some results extend other families including the Lomax, Burr III and Burr XII distributions.

In this study, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and Bayes estimation are exploited to make interval estimation based on adaptive progressive TypeII censoring for the Burr Type-XII distribution. Explicit form for the parameters of Bayes estimator doesn’t exist, so, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is used as approximation to find posterior mean under squared error loss function. Rea...

A comprehensive Bayesian analysis has been carried out in the context of informative and non-informative priors for the shape parameter of the Burr type X distribution under different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. Elicitation of hyperparameter through prior predictive approach is also discussed. Also we derive the expression for posterior predictive distributions, predictive interval...

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) refers to sleep-related hypoventilation with repetitive episodes of complete and partial obstructions of the upper airway. 1 Some fi nesse is required to determine the appropriate ventilator settings to prevent such episodes, which can alter the effi cacy of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV). In a recent article in CHEST (January 2013), Cont...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Osteoplug, a novel biodegradable polymer burr-hole cover implant, used in patients with burr holes done for drainage of chronic subdural haematoma. METHODS 12 patients with chronic subdural haematoma had Osteoplug implants inserted into their burr holes after evacuation of the haematoma. Osteoplug is a biodegradable polycaprola...
