In this article, a new censoring scheme is considered, namely, a middle part of a random sample is censored. A treatment for reconstructing the missing order statistics is investigated. The proposed procedure is studied in detail under exponential distribution which is widely used as a constant failure model in reliability. Different approaches are used to obtain point and interval reconstructo...

 In this paper, we study stochastic comparisons of order statistics of independent random variables with proportional hazard rates, using the notion of variance majorization.

Recently, several blind signal separation algorithms have been developed which are based on second order statistics. Little has been published however on whether second order statistics are sufficient to obtain a unique solution. Especially for applications that involve convolutive mixing and unmixing of signals that are correlated in time, there is a lack of knowledge on why and in what cases ...

in this paper, we obtain  bayesian prediction intervals as well as bayes predictive estimatorsunder square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.
