In this article, the tampered failure rate model is used in partially accelerated life testing. A non-decreasing time function, often called a ‘‘time transformation function", proposed to tamper under design conditions. Different types of which have sufficient conditions order be accelerating functions, are investigated. baseline exponential distribution considered. Some point estimation method...

This article presents a branch-and-bound algorithm that constructs a catalog of all D-optimal n-point designs for specified design region, linear model, and number of observations, n. While the primary design criterion is D optimality, the algorithm may also be used to find designs performing well by other secondary criteria, if a small sacrifice in efficiency as measured by D optimality is acc...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

The R package ALTopt has been developed with the aim of creating and evaluating optimal experimental designs of censored accelerated life tests (ALTs). This package takes the generalized linear model approach to ALT planning, because this approach can easily handle censoring plans and derive information matrices for evaluating designs. Three types of optimality criteria are considered: D-optima...

Bounded rationality concerns the study of decision makers with limited information processing resources. Previously, the free energy difference functional has been suggested to model bounded rational decision making, as it provides a natural trade-off between an energy or utility function that is to be optimized and information processing costs that are measured by entropic search costs. The ma...
