In this paper, the effect of non-normality on sampling plan using Yule’s model (second order auto regressive model {AR (2)}) represented by the Edgeworth series is studied for known $sigma$. The effect of using the normal theory sampling plan in a non-normal situation using Yule’s model is studied by obtaining the distorted errors of the first and second kind. As one will be interes...

"Longlife insurance" combines nursing home, home health, and deferred annuity benefits. It costs less than life care, allows the elderly to remain in their own homes, and protects assets. Adverse selection is limited because the plan is attractive to both frail and healthy elders. An analysis of 18,600 respondents in the Social Security Administration's New Beneficiary Survey indicates that 67 ...

In this paper, we propose a Multiple Dependent State Sampling (MDSS) plan for decision-making on lot acceptance/rejection based properties of current and preceding lots sampled. The uses the Odd Log-Logistic Generalized Exponentiated (OLLGE) distribution to determine median life product through truncated-time test. Optimal parameters such as sample size, numbers, are obtained using operating ch...

SUMMARY Percutaneous vertebroplasty has been deferred due to potential complications from urinary tract infections (UTIs). Our aim was to help sort out the types of treatment needed for percutaneous vertebroplasty patients and the length delay for performing the procedure. We searched for information regarding the ramifications of infection from the literature and devised a plan of treatment fo...

Background and Objectives: Thyroid gland because of its superficial location is amenable to direct physical examination. Clinical assessment of thyroid lesions by means of physical examination, thyroid scans and ultrasonography is not completely reliable. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the most cost-effective, safe and an initial diagnostic test in the pre-operative evaluation of thy...
