On The Moments Of The Time To Ruin Distribution When The Initial Reserve Is Large And Claim Amount Distribution Is Two Stage Hypo Exponential Distribution

In any classical risk model one of the important random variable is time to ruin. As time to ruin warns the management for possible adverse situations that may arise, the distribution of time to ruin place a vital role in the day to day transactions of the any insurance company. Moments of the distribution are also important as coefficient of skewness of the distribution is very important in ac...

Testing independence when the form of the bivariate distribution is unspecified.

We address the problem of testing for independence between X and Y in two situations. In the first we assume that the joint distribution of X and Y is unknown but the observations on X and Y are identifiable. In the second case we assume that the distribution of (X, Y) is exchangeable. Here we consider both when (X, Y) are identifiable and when they are not. We illustrate applications to the te...

Point and Interval Estimation for the Burr Type III Distribution

In this paper, we study the estimation problems for the Burr type III distribution based on a complete sample. The maximum likelihood method is used to derive the point estimators of the parameter. An exact confidence interval and an exact joint confidence region for the parameters are constructed. Two numerical examples with real data set and simulated data, are presented to illustrate the met...

Sequential estimation of linear combinations of the location and scale parameters in negative exponential distribution

Sequential estimation is used where the total sample size is not fix and the problem cannot solve with this fixed sample size. Sequentially estimating the mean in an exponential distribution (one and two parameter), is an important problem which has attracted attentions from authors over the years. These largely addressed an exponential distribution involving a single or two parameters. In t...
