The prediction of record values based on a single sample has been studied extensively in the literature. The case of two observed samples of records has also been considered, where a record of one sample is predicted based on data of both samples. In a multi-sample set-up, simultaneous...

In this paper, structural properties of (progressive) hybrid censoring schemes are established by studying the possible data scenarios resulting from the hybrid censoring scheme. The results illustrate that the distributions of hybrid censored random variables can be immediately derived from the...

Numerous robust estimators exist as alternatives to the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) when a completely observed ground-up loss severity sample dataset is available. However, the options for robust alternatives to a MLE become significantly limited when dealing with grouped loss severity...

The model of adaptive progressive Type-II censoring introduced by Ng et al. (2009)(referred to as Ng–Kundu–Chan model) is extended to allow switching from a given initial censoring plan ℛ to any arbitrary given plan 𝒮 of the same length. In this generalized model, the joint distribution...
