Reliability sampling plans are used to take decisions on the disposition of lots based on life testing of products. Such plans are developed taking into the consideration of relevant probability distributions of the lifetimes of the products under testing. When the quality of products varies...

Generalized characteristic functions extend characteristic functions of ‘classical’ TU-games by assigning a real number to every ordered coalition being a permutation of any subset of the player set. Such generalized characteristic functions can be applied when the earnings or costs of...

A  curse of dimensionality  arises when using the Continuum-GMM procedure to estimate large dimensional models. Two solutions are proposed, both of which convert the high dimensional model into a continuum of reduced information sets. Under certain regularity conditions, each reduced...

In this work a three parameter stochastic process, termed the Gamma-Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, has been implemented to analyze geophysical data. Such non-Gaussian Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes offer the possibility of capturing important distributional deviations from Gaussianity and make...

In the present paper we obtain a new correlation inequality and use it for the purpose of extending the theory of the Almost Sure Local Limit Theorem to the case of lattice random sequences in the domain of attraction of a stable law. In particular, we prove ASLLT in the case of the normal...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is the determination of reliability sampling plans in the Bayesian approach assuming that the lifetime distribution is exponential. Design/methodology/approach – Sampling plans are used in manufacturing companies as a tool for carrying out sampling...
