In this paper we propose a new bivariate long-term distribution based on the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula model. The proposed model allows for presence of censored data and covariates in cure parameter. For inferential purpose Bayesian approach via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is considered. Further, some discussions selection criteria are given. order to examine outlying influential obs...

The significant gap between science and service has been widely acknowledged in the field of substance abuse treatment (e.g., Brown, 2000; Carroll & Rounsaville, 2003; Compton et al., 2005). For example, the Institute of Medicine (1998) concluded that only a small proportion of substance abusers receive treatment; and of those who do, the quality of care is highly variable and they are not like...

We have first demonstrated that Debreu’s view regarding the publication of The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by von Neumann and Morgenstern in 1944 as the birth of modern mathematical economics is not convincing. In this paper, we have proposed the hypothesis that the coordinated research programs in the 1930’s, initiated by the Econometric Society and the Cowles Commission for Research...

Let X=(X1 ,X2 ) be a continuous random vector. Under the assumption that the marginal distributions of X1 and X2 are given, we develop models for vector X when there is partial information about the dependence structure between X1  and X2. The models which are obtained based on well-known Principle of Maximum Entropy are called the maximum entropy (ME) mo...
