In this paper, Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are proposed as an alternative to the classical ̄X synthetic schemes when the assumption of normality fails to hold. First, the basic design of the Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic scheme is developed and its performance investigated using exact formulae. Secondly, the non-side-sensitive and side-sensitive Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are int...

A hybrid censoring scheme is a mixture of type I and type II censoring schemes. When $n$ items are placed on a life test, the experiment terminates under type I or type II hybrid censoring scheme if either a pre-fixed censoring time T or the rth (1<=r<=n&nbsp;is fixed) failure is first or later observed, respectively. In this paper, we investigate the decomposition of entropy in both hybrid cen...

the compact finite difference schemes have been found to give simple ways of reaching the objectives of high accuracy and low computational cost. during the past two decades, the compact schemes have been used extensively for numerical simulation of various fluid dynamics problems. these methods have also been applied for numerical solution of some prototype geophysical fluid dynamics problems ...

The unified hybrid censoring is a mixture of generalized Type-I and Type-II hybrid censoring schemes. This article presents the statistical inferences on Generalized Exponential Distribution parameters when the data are obtained from the unified hybrid censoring scheme. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimators can not be derived in closed form. The EM algorithm for computing the ma...

The aims of this s tudy is to analyse the planning and design process, basic principles and thechange-transformation process of the apartment type residential buildings in Turkey, Gaziantep city based on his torical background. The scope of the research consis ts of residential buildings built in the city of Gaziantep, which were built in the pos t-Republican period. In addition, s tate-b...

we focus on the use of two stable and accurate explicit finite difference schemes in order to approximate the solution of stochastic partial differential equations of it¨o type, in particular, parabolic equations. the main properties of these deterministic difference methods, i.e., convergence, consistency, and stability, are separately developed for the stochastic cases.
