Abstract Frequent wastage or exit of personnel are common in many administrative and production oriented organizations. Once the accumulated number of exits from the organization reaches a certain threshold level, it could be viewed as a “breakdown point”. The time to attain breakdown point...

Abstract In this article, an exponential model with only one shape parameter, which can be used in modeling survival data, reliability problems and fatigue life studies, is studied. We derive explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical quantities including the ordinary...

Abstract In this article, a new family of distributions is introduced by using transmutation maps. The proposed family of distributions is expected to be useful in modeling real data sets. The genesis of the proposed family, including several statistical and reliability properties, is presented....

Abstract This paper deals with a new method of deriving the Process Capability Index (PCI) when the quality characteristic X follows a positively skewed distribution. The focus of the paper is to derive a new estimate of PCI by taking into account the {100(1-{\alpha})}   Confidence Intervals...

Abstract The concept of sequential order statistics were introduced by Kamps in 1995. In this article, we derive an acceptance sampling plan, for units having exponentially distributed lifetime, using sequential order statistics. Based on data obtained from progressive type II censoring using...

Abstract The estimation of stress-strength reliability in a time-dependent context deals with either the stress or strength or both dynamic. The repeated occurrence of stress in random intervals of time induces a change in the distribution of strength over time. In this paper, we study the...
