APPLICATION OF STATISTICAL METHODS IN RISK AND RELIABILITY

Heard, Astrid - 2006

The dissertation considers construction of confidence intervals for a cumulative distribution function F(z) and its inverse at some fixed points z and u on the basis of an i.i.d. sample where the sample size is relatively small. The sample is modeled as having the flexible Generalized Gamma...

Approximate Power and Sample Size Calculations with the Benjamini-Hochberg Method

Ferreira, José; Zwinderman, Aeilko - In: International Journal of Biostatistics 2 (2006) 1, pp. 1018-1018

We provide a method for calculating the sample size required to attain a given average power (the ratio of rejected hypotheses to the number of false hypotheses) and a given false discovery rate (the number of incorrect rejections divided by the number of rejections) in adaptive versions of the...

The origin of 1/f fluctuations and scale transformations of time series at nonequilibrium phase transitions

Koverda, V.P.; Skokov, V.N. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 346 (2005) 3, pp. 203-216

Investigations of the dynamics of heat and mass transfer show that in crisis and transient conditions one can observe high-energy fluctuations with a power spectrum inversely proportional to the frequency (flicker or 1/f fluctuations). Such a spectrum presupposes energy transient from high to...

Warranty cost analysis: quasi‐renewal inter‐repair times

Chukova, Stefanka; Hayakawa, Yu - In: International Journal of Quality & Reliability Management 22 (2005) 7, pp. 687-698

Purpose – To provide a brief introduction to warranty analysis and a classification of general repairs. To introduce the notion of accelerated probability distribution and use it to model imperfect warranty repairs. Design/methodology/approach – The notion of accelerated probability...

Distribution Functions of Tsunami Wave Heights

Choi, Byung; Pelinovsky, Efim; Ryabov, Igor; Hong, Sung - In: Natural Hazards 25 (2002) 1, pp. 1-21

The problem of describing the distribution functions of tsunami wave heights is discussed. Data on runup heights … obtained in field surveys of several tsunamis for the last decade are used to calculate the empirical distribution functions …

Distribution functions in Ising patches: a test case for protein denaturation

Poland, Douglas - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 309 (2002) 1, pp. 45-68

analyze a soluble model system to test the accuracy of the approximate distribution functions obtained from the maximum … in density and enthalpy in the neighborhood of the critical point. The distribution functions for the Ising model are in … fact very similar to those for proteins. For the Ising model, we can then compare the exact distribution functions with …

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of swarms of driven particles

Ebeling, Werner - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 314 (2002) 1, pp. 92-96

We consider here the statistical mechanics of swarms of self-propelled particles. Our approach is closely related to the recently developed theory of active Brownian motion. New solutions for the stationary distribution of swarms with linear attraction are given in mean field approximation....
