microalloyed s355n steel plates are extensively used in bridge and high-rise building structures. one ofthe factors affecting the mechanical properties is the size and morphology of inclusions. in this research,microalloyed s355n steel plates with different sizes of inclusions were examined. one contained longmanganese sulfide inclusions (li material) and the other had short ones (si material)....

The concept of generalized order statistics (GOSs) was introduced as a unified approach to a variety of models of ordered random variables. The purpose of this paper is to investigate condi- tions on the underlying distribution functions and the parameters on which GOSs are based, to establish Shaked-Shanthikumar multivari- ate dispersive ordering of GOSs from one sample and Khaledi-Kochar mu...

In this paper we propose a method to estimate the value-at-risk (VaR) of a portfolio based on a combination of time series, extreme value theory and copula fitting. Given multivariate financial data, we use a univariate ARMA-GARCH model for each return series. We then fit a generalized Pareto distribution to the tails of the residuals to model the distributions of marginal residuals, followed b...

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.

The errors on statistics measured in finite galaxy catalogs are exhaustively investigated. The theory of errors on factorial moments by Szapudi & Colombi (1996) is applied to cumulants via a series expansion method. All results are subsequently extended to the weakly non-linear regime. Together with previous investigations this yields an analytic theory of the errors for moments and connected m...
