Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn The Estimation of Survival Function and Parameter Exponential Life Time DistributionHadeel Salim Al-Kutubi, Noor Akma IbrahimProblem statement: The study and research of survival or reliability or life time belong to the same area of study but they may belong to a different area of application. In survival analysis one can use several life time distribution, exponential distribution with mean life time θ is one of them. To estimate this parameter and survival function we must … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,065 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn Bayes Estimation of the First Order Moving Average ModelMahmoud M. Smadi, Ahmed A. Abu-TalebIn this work, Bayes estimation of the first order moving average model (MA(1)) were studied. Theoretical justification of the Bayes estimates based on the estimated innovations is given. The convergence of Bayes and maximum likelihood estimates are examined via simulation using different parameter values. Also, Bayes estimates were determined when the model is invertible using the estimated innovations. For long … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA General Probability Distribution Using Burmann Power SeriesRichard F. Patterson, Pali SenThe goal of this study is to present a general power series distribution that exhibits the properties of some well known distributions. To accomplish this goal we examine an infinite sequence of independent random variables having a Bürmann’s power series distribution. Consequently, we derive moment generating function of the distribution and establish the maximum likelihood estimate of the component that … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNelson and Plosser Revisited: Evidence from Fractional ARIMA ModelsGuglielmo Maria Caporale, Luis A. Gil-AlanaIn this study fractionally integrated ARIMA (ARFIMA) models are estimated using an extended version of Nelson and Plosser[1]’s data set. The analysis employs[11]’s maximum likelihood procedure. Such a parametric approach requires the model to be correctly specified in order for the estimates to be consistent. A model-selection procedure based on diagnostic tests on the residuals, together with several likelihood criteria, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,715 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Family of Logarithmic Lifetime DistributionsSaid Hofan AlkarniIn this study a new lifetime class with decreasing failure rate is introduced by compounding truncated logarithmic distribution with any proper continuous lifetime distribution. The properties of the proposed class are discussed, including a formal proof of itsprobability density function, distribution function and explicit algebraic formulae for its reliability and failure rate functions. A simple EM-type algorithm for iteratively computing … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2012 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Phenological Date Estimation Using Broad-Band Digital CamerasMobasheri, M. Chahardoli, J. Jokar, M. FarajzadehIn the agricultural industry, precision farming is the most important task that attracts lots of attentions. The health of the plant depends mostly on the amount of water in its access that can be estimated through vegetation indices. These indices can be extracted from satellite images through Image processing algorithms. The objective of this research was to provide an equation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite

OlowofesoThe study analysis wage equation for women in Ondo State Nigeria, in other to identify the determinant factors of their wages. Data collected from 250 women heads of households through a multi-stage random system technique were analyzed. In order to deal with the zero wage problem associated with those who did not work, various single – equation models were applied. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBurr-X Model Estimate using Bayesian and non-Bayesian ApproachesAbdullah Y. Al-HossainThe present paper is aimed at developing Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood estimations (ML) of the Burr type-X model of distribution when data are gathered from Type-II cumulative censoring with binomial eliminations. The procedures for getting the (ML) evaluations of the parameters are examined. The Bayes technique to get both point and interval estimators of the parameters are illustrated. The expected … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 6 May 2016 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTruncated Estimate in Log-Binomial Model: Algorithm and SimulationLuyan Dai, Yang Li, Ye ShenProblem statement: Relative risk has concrete meanings of comparing two groups and measuring the association between exposures and outcomes in medical and public health studies. Log-binomial model, using a log link function on binary outcomes, is straightforward to estimate risk ratios, whereas generates boundary problems. When the estimates are located near the boundary of constrained parameter space, common approaches or … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 7 May 2012 · 8,291 accessesView PDFCite
