In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability $Pr (X > Y)$ based on upper record values when $X$ and $Y$ are two independent but not identically distributed random variables from the power hazard rate distribution with common scale parameter $k$. When the parameter $k$ is known, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), the approximate Bayes estimator and ...

The paper presents a new method for multivalued simulation of digital circuits based on calculation of Boolean derivatives on BDDs (or structural alternative graphs). A procedure for calculation of maximums of Boolean derivatives as the basis of multivalued simulation is given. The method is applicable for component level representations of digital circuits where as components arbitrary subcirc...

to resort to trickery to get repeat prescriptions, but it wasn't too difficult, and as I had no underworld contacts, I had to get my supply In due course my mental and physical health deteriorated and I was forced to tell my tale of woe to my doctor, who calmly scrawled another prescription for Duraphet instead. After four months in a mental hospital 1 was freed of my hell. That was two years a...

T. Bredfeldt Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, MC-168, P.O Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Hazard identification is considered an early step in the risk assessment process. The primary goal of this step is to determine whether exposure to a chemical is likely to cause a specific adverse health effect in humans. The process of hazard ide...

SUMMARY Nonparametric Bayesian inference using bathtub hazard rates in survival analysis is developed. A new simulation method, Auxiliary Random Functions, is introduced. When used within a Gibbs sampler, this method enables a uniied treatment of exact, right-censored, left-censored, left-trucated and interval censored data, with and without covariates. The models and methods are exempliied via...

92 Published By: Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering & Sciences Publication Pvt. Ltd. Abstract— In this article, we derive Bayesian stimations of three parameters and some survival time parameters e.g. reliability and hazard functions in the modified Weibull distribution based on combined hybrid censored data. Finally, a real life data set and simulation data are used to illustrate the discussed...
