The distribution of earthquake interevent times is a subject that has attracted much attention in the statistical physics literature [1-3]. A recent paper proposes that the distribution of earthquake interevent times follows from the the interplay of the crustal strength distribution and the loading function (stress versus time) of the Earth’s crust locally [4]. It was also shown that the Weibu...

due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. the presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin soltanieh zone of za...

Fingerprinting is a common technique for indoor positioning using short range Radio Frequency (RF) technologies such as Wireless Location Area Network (WLAN) and Bluetooth (BT). It works in two phases: The first phase is a data training phase in which a radio map for the targeted area is generated in advance, while the second phase is the real-time location determination phase using the radio m...

A generalized Weibull model that allows instantaneous or early failures is modified so that the model can be expressed as a mixture of the uniform distribution and the Weibull distribution. Properties of the resulting distribution are derived; in particular, the probability density function, survival function, and the hazard rate function are obtained. Some selected plots of these functions are...

In the present study wind power density of the Penjwen region have been statistically analyzed during the period from January 2001 to December 2003 based on the monthly measured mean wind speed data. The annual and monthly wind speeds and wind density are estimated. The Weibull and Ralyeigh distribution functions have been derived from the available data and both Weibull and Rayleigh probabilit...

• In many applications of lifetime data analysis, it is important to perform inferences about the change-point of the hazard function. The change-point could be a maximum for unimodal hazard functions or a minimum for bathtub forms of hazard functions and is usually of great interest in medical or industrial applications. For lifetime distributions where this change-point of the hazard function...

Investigation of reliability characteristics under fuzzy environments is proposed in this paper. Fuzzy Weibull distribution and lifetimes of components are using it described. Formulas of a fuzzy reliability function, fuzzy hazard function and their α-cut set are presented. Furthermore, the fuzzy functions of series systems and parallel systems are discussed, respectively. Finally, some num...

Recently, several attempts have been made to define new models that extend well-known distributions and at the same time provide great flexibility in modelling real data. We propose a new four-parameter model named the Weibull-power function (WPF) distribution which exhibits bathtub-shaped hazard rate. Some of its statistical properties are obtained including ordinary and incomplete moments, qu...

we developed an inventory model for decaying items with selling price dependent demand in inflationary environment. deterioration rate is taken as two parameter weibull distribution. shortages in inventory are allowed with partial backlogging. backlogging rate is taken as exponential decreasing function of time. profit maximization technique is used in this study.
