A class of continuous-time autoregressive moving average (CARMA) process driven by simple semi-Levy measure is defined and its properties are studied. We discuss some new insights on the structure of the semi-Levy measure which is described as periodically divisible measure. This consideration enable us to provide statistical property of the introduced process. We show that this process is well defined without having to assume further conditions on the measure. We find a kernel representation of the process and present the properties of first and second moments of it. Finally we show the efficiency of our model by implying simulated data.
Many distributions have been presented with bathtub-shaped failure rates for real-life data. A two-parameter distribution was defined by Chen (2000). This distribution can have a bathtub-shaped or increasing failure rate function. In this paper, we consider two bivariate models based on the proposed distribution by Chen and use the proposed methods of Marshall and Olkin (1967) in the bivariate case and Marshall and Olkin (1997) in the univariate case. In the second case, their method is generalized to the bivariate case and a new bivariate distribution is introduced. These new bivariate distributions have natural interpretations, and they can be applied in fatal shock models or in competing risks models. We call these new distributions as the bivariate Chen (BCH) distribution and bivariate Chen-geometric (BCHG) distribution, respectively. Moreover, the BCH can be obtained as a special case of the BCHG model. Then, the various properties of the new distributions are investigated. The BCHG distribution has five parameters and the maximum likelihood estimators cannot be obtained in a closed form. We suggest using an EM algorithm that is very easy to implement. Also, Monte Carlo simulations are performed to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we analyze two real data sets for illustrative purposes.
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.
