In this paper, we present recurrence relations for moments of lower generalized order statistics within a general form of doubly truncated distributions. Characterizations for the general form of doubly truncated distributions are studied. This the general form of distributions includes distributions such as doubly truncated inverted Weibull, inverted Gompertz, generalized logistic, Burr type X, Burr type XII, logistic, inverted Pareto, inverted compound Weibull, Gumbel and compound Gompertz, among others. Doubly truncated inverted Weibull, log-inverse generalized Weibull and inverted Pareto distribution are given as applications to illustrate the results.
In this paper, order statistics from independent and non-identically distributed (INID) random variables is used to obtain ordered ranked set sampling (ORSS). Bayesian inference of unknown parameters under a squared error loss function of the Pareto distribution are determined. We compute the minimum posterior expected loss (the posterior risk) of the derived estimates and compare them with those based on the corresponding simple random sample to assess the efficiency of the obtained estimates. Two-sample Bayesian prediction for future observations are introduced by using SRS and ORSS for one-and m-cycle. A simulation study and real data are applied to show the proposed results.
Clustered survival data frequently occurs in biomedical research fields and clinical trials. The log-rank tests are used for two independent samples of clustered data tests. We use the block Efron’s biased-coin randomization (design) to assign patients to treatment groups in a clinical trial by forcing a sequential experiment to be balanced. In this article, the [Formula: see text]-values of the null permutation distribution of log-rank tests for clustered data are approximated via the double saddlepoint approximation method. Comprehensive numerical studies are carried out to assess the accuracy of the saddlepoint approximation. This approximation demonstrates great accuracy over the asymptotic normal approximation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
