The expression of mean square error of the suggested classes of estimators has been studied up to first order of approximation and their effective performances are likened with respect to the conventional as well as lately existing estimators. Subsequently, an empirical study has been carried out using a real data set in support of theoretical results. The empirical results justify the proposition of the proposed classes of estimators in terms of percent relative efficiency over all discussed work till date.

This paper develops a fuzzy EOQ model in the presence of inspection errors in single sampling plans. The model assumes probability of mis-classifications. An inventory system is hypothesized where the orders undergo acceptance sampling, back-orders are eliminated, and defectives are set aside from the inventory. Due to the presence of vagueness in real time data, the rate at which an order turn to be scrap, the costs of holding, and the back-orders are characterized by fuzzy random variables. Since total profit involved is a random variable, maximum total expected profit is obtained.

The Bayesian estimation is studied for symmetric loss function with the help of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm method. The confidence intervals for the index Cpy are constructed based on four bootstrap methods and Bayesian methods. We studied the performances of these estimators based on their corresponding MSEs/risks for the point estimates of Cpy, and average widths AW for interval estimates. To assess the accuracy of the various approaches, Monte Carlo simulations are conducted. It is found that the Bayes estimates performed better than the considered classical estimates in terms of their corresponding risks.

Coefficient summary revealed that all statistical models were statistically significant across both symmetric as well as asymmetric distributions. In preliminary analysis TFEM (Type First Exponential Model) was found out to be the best linear model across both symmetric and asymmetric distributions with lower values of RMSE, MAE, BIAS, AIC and BIC. Among non-linear models, Haung model was found out to be best model across both the distributions as it has lower values of RMSE, MAE etc. Different validation techniques were used in the present study. Lower rates of prediction error in comparison to its counter parts, 5-folded cross validation performed better across all the statistical models.","PeriodicalId":42526,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reliability and Statistical Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46137928","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}

The analysis has been carried out by taking into account various infrastructural indicators for the time period of two years from 2018 to 2019. The results of the present analysis led to the identification of the five factors of infrastructural characteristics, and the classification of all the seventy-five districts of Uttar Pradesh into five regions with different degree of infrastructural development. The ‘infrastructural regions’ uncovered through this procedure allow a much more useful characterization of Uttar Pradesh for the policy making purpose.

The distribution has been chosen because it can used to model lifetime of several reliability phenomenon and it performs better than many well known existing distributions. With the discussions of statistical properties of the aforesaid model, the reliability test plan has been established under the assumption of median quality characteristics when minimum confidence level P* is given. To quench the objective of the paper i.e; to serve as a guiding aid to the emerging practitioners, minimum sample sizes have been obtained by using binomial approximation and Poisson approximation for the proposed plan. Further, operating characteristic (OC) values for the various choices of quality level are placed. Also, minimum ratio of true median life to specified life has been presented for specified producer’s risk. Important findings of the proposed reliability test plan are given for considered value of k=0.75,1,2.
