in this paper, we obtain  bayesian prediction intervals as well as bayes predictive estimatorsunder square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.

critical thinking is necessary to read the scientific literature. however, in addition to questions about the science, often one must also question the meaning of the text. this article provides an example of the analyses needed to understand a single sentence. in so doing, it raises several interesting issues of meaning, measurement, statistical analyses, and the form in which results are pres...

In this article, a new censoring scheme is considered, namely, a middle part of a random sample is censored. A treatment for reconstructing the missing order statistics is investigated. The proposed procedure is studied in detail under exponential distribution which is widely used as a constant failure model in reliability. Different approaches are used to obtain point and interval reconstructo...

 In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of order statistics of independent random variables with proportional hazard rates, using the notion of variance majorization.

ôbjective: âpproximately 66-80%of graduate students experience statistics anxiety and some researchers propose that many students identify statistics courses as the most anxiety-inducing courses in their academic curriculums. âs such, it is likely that statistics anxiety is, in part, responsible for many students delaying enrollment in these courses for as long as possible. this paper proposes ...

statistics anxiety has a positive relationship with academic drop-out and deserves greater attention. this study examines a model explaining the impact of students’ achievement goals on their statistics anxiety through levels of their academic engagement. three hundred and fifteen undergraduate students (53 males and 262 females) who studied educational sciences and psychology in the state univ...

In this article, we discuss our attempt to teach applied statistics techniques typically taught in advanced courses, such as clustering and principal component analysis, a non-mathematical educated audience. Considering the negative attitude inclination toward mathematical disciplines of students introduce them topics using four different games. The games are all user-centric, score-based arcad...
