In this paper some different sorts of confidence intervals are considered for the scale parameter of the Burr type XII distribution based on the upper record values. In this regard, the coverage probability is adopted as a measure of improvement when the endpoints are the same for all types of...

In this study, the theory of statistical kernel density estimation has been applied for deriving non-parametric kernel prior to the empirical Bayes which frees the Bayesian inference from subjectivity that has worried some statisticians. For comparing the empirical Bayes based on the kernel...

This paper considers computation of mixture weights of the marginal distribution of pooled order statistics that arise from combining and ordering multiple independent Type-II right censored samples. The proposed method is an iterative procedure which is computationally efficient and produces...
