Monitoring exponentially distributed time between events data: self-starting perspective Commun. Stat. Simul. Comput. (IF 0.651) Pub Date : 2021-01-21 Eralp Dogu; Muhammad Noor-ul-Amin
Abstract Time between events (TBE) control charts have been widely used to monitor high yield processes. Traditionally, an estimated in-control occurrence rate from a Phase I dataset is used to calculate the control limits when the rate is unknown. However, when Phase I analysis is time consuming or costly, the traditional Phase I/Phase II approach is not feasible. A self-starting method that sequentially

Abstract Two fractional factorial designs are called isomorphic if one can be obtained from the other by relabeling the factors, reordering the runs and switching the levels of factors. Given a set of all orthogonal designs (ODs) with n runs, q levels and s factors, it may have several non-isomorphic subclasses. Once a new OD with this design size is generated, it is interesting to know which subclass

A broader class of modified two-stage minimum risk point estimation procedures for a normal mean Commun. Stat. Simul. Comput. (IF 0.651) Pub Date : 2020-11-17 Jun Hu; Yan Zhuang
Abstract In this paper, we design an innovative and general class of modified two-stage sampling schemes to enhance double sampling and modified double sampling procedures. Under the squared error loss plus linear cost of sampling, we revisit the classic problem of minimum risk point estimation (MRPE) for an unknown normal mean μ ( ∈ R ) when the population variance σ 2 ( ∈ R + ) also remains unknown

Empirical likelihood for mean difference between two samples with missing data Commun. Stat. Simul. Comput. (IF 0.651) Pub Date : 2020-11-17 Yanhua Wu; Yufeng Shi
Abstract In this paper, we consider the empirical likelihood confidence intervals for mean difference under the assumption of missing at random (MAR). We prove that the empirical log-likelihood ratio of mean difference converges to a standard chi-squared distribution. We conduct simulation study to compare the proposed empirical likelihood with the normal approximation method in terms of the coverage
