We introduce a new two-parameter model related to the inverted Topp–Leone distribution called power (PITL) distribution. Major properties of PITL are stated; including; quantile measures, moments, moment generating function, probability weighted Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, stochastic ordering, incomplete residual life entropy measure. Acceptance sampling plans developed for distribution, when ...

BACKGROUND Information about women's acceptance of new screening methods in Sub-Saharan Africa is limited. The aim of this study was to report on women's acceptance of human papillomavirus (HPV) self-sampling following an educational intervention on cervical cancer and HPV. METHODS Women were recruited from the city of Tiko and a low-income neighborhood of Yaoundé, both in Cameroon. Written a...

OBJECTIVE To describe the sampling plan and estimation methods used to collect and analyze data in the survey Sexual Behavior and Perceptions of the Brazilian Population concerning HIV/AIDS in 2005. METHODS The study presents the decisions that were made concerning population definition, strata of interest to the survey and to the sampling plan, main procedures for data analysis and sample pe...

Balanced acceptance sampling is a relatively new sampling scheme that has potential to improve the efficiency of spatial studies. There are two drawbacks of the design, it can have low entropy and some of the unbiased estimates can not be calculated. In this paper, such shortcomings have been addressed by integrating simple random sampling with balanced acceptance sampling. In a simulation stud...
