In the economical aspect, the skip-lot sampling methodology is more advantageous in reducing the inspection cost. The main intention of this paper is to develop a sampling plan by assimilating the concept of resampling with a two-level skip-lot sampling plan (SkSP-2L.2). The new plan is designated as SkSP-2L.2-R, and a single sampling plan is used as the reference plan. The performance measures of the proposed plan are derived using the Markov chain formulation. A table is constructed to select the optimal parameters that are determined by taking into account more than a few combinations of producer quality level and consumer quality level together with respective producer and consumer risks. Execution of the proposed SkSP-2L.2-R plan is discussed with an illustrative example. It is proven by the comparative study that the proposed SkSP-2L.2-R plan has better performance in discriminating the lots with minimum inspection effort when compared to existing sampling plans.","PeriodicalId":35850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"216 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44348849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is supposed that the random stress and strength both follow Kumaraswamy half-logistic distribution. In this redundant system, we consider that there N subsystems and in each subsystem, there are M statistically independent strength components under the impact of M statistically independent stress components The problem of estimation is solved in two cases. First under the assumption that random stress and strength have common first shape parameter and different second shape parameter and second with the assumption that common shape parameter is known. The stress-strength reliability is estimated using maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation methods. Also asymptotic and Bayesian intervals for the stress-strength reliability under both the cases are constructed. Monte Carlo simulations will be performed to compare the performance of various methods.

The PFFC data record the number of failures and increase the efficiency of the estimators. The inverse Pareto distribution (IPD) is useful when empirical data suggest a decreasing or upside-down bathtub-shaped failure rate functions. In this article, we consider the classical and Bayesian estimation of the model parameter and the reliability characteristics of the IPD using the PFFC data. The maximum likelihood estimators, asymptotic confidence, and bootstrap confidence intervals are considered in the classical estimation. Under the Bayesian paradigm, Bayes estimators based on non-informative and the gamma informative priors under the squared error loss function using Tierney-Kadane approximation, importance sampling, and Metropolis-Hasting (M-H) algorithm are assessed. In addition, the highest probability density (HPD) intervals based on the M-H algorithm are also constructed. To investigate the efficacy of each of the estimation procedures, numerical computations are performed based on a simulation study. Finally, a real data set is re-analyzed to show the applicability of the IPD model under a censoring scheme.","PeriodicalId":35850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"126 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44465183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to estimate the PCI when the process follows exponentiated exponential distribution, we have used ten classical methods of estimation and the performances of these classical estimates for the index are compared in terms of mean squared errors (MSEs) through simulation study. Also, the confidence intervals for the index are constructed based on four bootstrap confidence interval (BCIs) methods. A simulation study is performed in order to compare the performance of these four BCIs in terms of average width and coverage probabilities. We use two published data sets related to electronic and food industries to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods of estimation and BCIs.

Hence stress-strength reliability models based on phase-type distributions give a generalized structure for the stress-strength models. Moreover, matrix representation of the parameters helps in their flexible evaluation and easy manipulation. In Bayesian inference, we combine the prior knowledge with the information provided by the set of current observations to make more reliable inferences. Bayesian approach has the advantage of providing more meaningful inferences by making use of all available information. In this paper, we assume that the strength of the system and the stress imposed on the system are phase-type random variables, and the Bayesian inference of stress-strength reliability is discussed for the single-component systems and multi-component systems. The computation of the Bayes estimate of stress-strength reliability using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method, based on continuous and discrete phase-type distributions are explained.","PeriodicalId":35850,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences","volume":"42 1","pages":"13 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45003817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
