Estimation with Sequential Order Statistics from Exponential Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lifetime of an ordinary k-out-of-n system is described by the (n − k + 1)st order statistic from an iid sample. This set-up is based on the assumption that the failure of any component does not affect the remaining ones. Since this is possibly not fulfilled in technical systems, sequential order statistics have been proposed to model a change of the residual lifetime distribution after the breakdown of some component. We investigate such sequential k-out-of-n systems where the corresponding sequential order statistics, which describe the lifetimes of these systems, are based on oneand two-parameter exponential distributions. Given differently structured systems, we focus on three estimation concepts for the distribution parameters. MLEs, UMVUEs and BLUEs of the location and scale parameters are presented. Several properties of these estimators, such as distributions and consistency, are established. Moreover, we illustrate how two sequential k-out-of-n systems based on exponential distributions can be compared by means of the probability P (X < Y ). Since other models of ordered random variables, such as ordinary order statistics, record values and progressive type II censored order statistics can be viewed as sequential order statistics, all the results can be applied to these situations as well.

Bayesin estimation and prediction whit multiply type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics from one-and-two-parameter exponential distribution
In this article introduce the sequential order statistics. Therefore based on multiply Type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics, Bayesian estimators are derived for the parameters of one- and two- parameter exponential distributions under the assumption that the prior distribution is given by an inverse gamma distribution and the Bayes estimator with respect to squared error loss ...
متن کاملSequential 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...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for Exponentially Tempered Power Law Distributions
Tail estimates are developed for power law probability distributions with exponential tempering, using a conditional maximum likelihood approach based on the upper order statistics. Tempered power law distributions are intermediate between heavy power-law tails and Laplace or exponential tails, and are sometimes called “semiheavy” tailed distributions. The estimation method is demonstrated on s...
