The Modi Exponentiated Exponential Distribution Open
In this study, a new four-parameter distribution called the Modi Exponentiated Exponential distribution was proposed and studied. The new distribution has three shape and one scale parameters. Its mathematical and statistical properties we…

Marshall-Olkin Exponentiated Fréchet Distribution Open
In this paper, a new distribution called Marshall-Olkin Exponentiated Fréchet distribution (MOEFr) is proposed. The goal is to increase the flexibility of the existing Exponentiated Fréchet distribution by including an extra shape paramete…

Classical Approach to Zero-Inflated Dynamic Panel Ordered Probit Model with an Application in Drug Abuse Open
The Zero inflated ordered categorical data with time series structure are often a characteristic of behavioral research attributed to non-participation decision and zero consumption of substance such as drugs among the participants. The ex…

A Bayesian Approach for Penalized Splines with Hierarchical Penalty Open
Penalized spline has largely been applied in many research studies not limited to disease modeling and epidemiology. However, due to spatial heterogeneity of the data because different smoothing parameter leads to different amount of smoot…

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters for Poisson-exponential Distribution Under Progressive Type I Interval Censoring Open
This paper considers the problem of estimating the parameters of Poisson-Exponential (PE) distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring scheme. PE is a two-parameter lifetime distribution having an increasing hazard function. It…

Pricing Basket Weather Derivatives on Rainfall and Temperature Processes Open
This paper follows an incomplete market pricing approach to analyze the evaluation of weather derivatives and the viability of a weather derivatives market in terms of hedging. A utility indifference method is developed for the specificati…

Hierarchical Penalized Mixed Model Open
Penalized spline has been a popular method for estimating an unknown function in the non-parametric regression due to their use of low-rank spline bases, which make computations tractable. However its performance is poor when estimating fu…

Comparison of Crisp and Fuzzy Classification Trees Using Chi-Squared ImpurityMeasure on Simulated Data Open
Classification trees are one of the most popular choices in classification and discriminant analysis.One chief reason is that they are distribution free methods.Recently, with the introduction of fuzzy theory,fuzzy classification trees are…

A Poisson-Gamma Model for Zero Inflated Rainfall Data Open
Rainfall modeling is significant for prediction and forecasting purposes in agriculture, weather derivatives, hydrology, and risk and disaster preparedness. Normally two models are used to model the rainfall process as a chain dependent pr…

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Parameters of Exponentiated Generalized Weibull Based on Progressive Type II Censored Data Open
Exponentiated Generalized Weibull distribution is a probability distribution which generalizes the Weibull distribution introducing two more shapes parameters to best adjust the non-monotonic shape. The parameters of the new probability di…

Longitudinal Survey, Nonmonotone, Nonresponse, Imputation, Nonparametric Regression Open
The study focuses on the imputation for the longitudinal survey data which often has nonignorable nonrespondents. Local linear regression is used to impute the missing values and then the estimation of the time-dependent finite populations…
