Using the data for upper record values, interval estimation scale parameter of two-parameter exponential distribution is presented. In addition, two methods joint confidence region parameters are proposed. terms area, simulation comparison performed in this paper. The criterion minimum area used to obtain optimal method region. To illustrate our proposed methods, one biometrical example and cor...

The dual generalized order statistics is a unified model which contains the well known decreasingly ordered random data such as (reversed ordered) order statistics and lower record values. In the present paper, some characterization results on the power function distribution based on the properties of dual generalized order statistics are provided. The results are proved without any rest...

In this paper, we derive maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) and approximate MLEs (AMLEs) of the unknown parameters in a generalized half logistic distribution when the data are upper record values. As an illustration, we examine the validity of our estimation using real data and simulated data. Finally, we compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error (MSE) through a ...

The Hellinger metric and several divergence measures for multivariate density functions are applied to measure distances between different models of generalized order statistics, such as common order statistics, sequential order statistics, progressively type-II censored order statistics, record values, k-th record values, and Pfeifer record values. Explicit expressions of divergences and dista...

We explore the design space for type systems with poly-morphic records. We design record systems for extension , concatenation and removal of elds. Furthermore, we design a record system where eld labels become rst class values. That means, we can now quantify over eld lables and pass them around as arguments. We base our design on the HM(X) framework. HM(X) is a general framework for Hindley/M...

Recently Habibi et al. (2006) defined a pre-experimental criterion for the potential strength of evidence provided by an experiment, based on Kullback-Leibler distance. In this paper, we investigate the potential statistical evidence in an experiment in terms of Renyi distance and compare the potential statistical evidence in lower (upper) record values with that in the same number of ii...

Eiszler, C.F. (2002). College students' evaluations of teaching and grade inflation. Research in Higher Education, 43(4), 483-501. This study examined the relationship between grades and students’ composite ratings of teaching effectiveness over a 20-year period at a comprehensive, public university in the upper Midwest. Between the spring of 1980 and the fall of 1999, students in more than 37,...

The body of information in this paper is directed to specialists in industrial health and safety, and air and water pollution, who need quantitative data on the odor thresholds of potentially hazardous chemical vapors and gases. The literature, largely unorganized, has been reviewed for 214 compounds and condensed into tables based on consistent units. Data on the volatility, solubility, ioniza...

We present stable isotope and geochemical data from four sediment cores from west of Prins Karls Forland (ca. 340 m water depth), offshore western Svalbard, recovered from close to sites of active methane seepage, as well as from shallower water depths where methane seepage is not presently observed. Our analyses provide insight into the record of methane seepage in an area where ongoing ocean ...
