In this paper, we consider the statistical inference for the success probability in the case of start-up demonstration tests in which rejection of units is possible when a pre-fixed number of failures is observed before the required number of consecutive successes are achieved for acceptance of...

In this paper we develop a bivariate version of the confluent hypergeometric series distribution through its probability generating function and study some of its properties by deriving its probability mass function, factorial moments, probability generating functions of its marginal and...

The paper presents new characterizations of the integer-valued moving average model. For four model variants we give moments and probability generating functions. Yule-Walker and conditional least squares estimators are obtained and studied by Monte Carlo simulation. A new generalized method of...
