  • By assuming a general progressive Type-II censored sample, we propose the minimum risk estimator (MRE) and the approximate maximum likelihood estimator (AMLE) of the scale parameter of the one-parameter exponential distribution. An example is given to illustrate the methods of estimation discussed in this paper.

  • In this paper, we consider two components system which have bivariate weibull model with bivariate type I censored data. We proposed maximum likelihood estimator and relative frequency estimator for the reliability of series system. Also, we construct approximate confidence intervals for the reliability based on the two proposed estimators. And we present a numerical study.

  • In this paper, we consider two components system which have bivariate weibull model with bivariate random censored data. We proposed large sample test for independence based on maximum likelihood estimator and relative frequency estimator, respectively. Also we derive asymptotic properties for the large sample tests and present a numerical study.

  • This paper deals with the problem of estimating the means in two inverse Gaussian populations with equal but unknown coefficient of variation. The maximum likelihood estimators are derived by solving a cubic equation and their asymptotic variances are presented for comparative purpose. Monte-Carlo simulation is conducted to investigate the efficiency of the estimators relative to the sample means over a wide range of values for the sample size and the coefficient of variation. The effect on this efficiency under the departure from the assumption of common coefficient of variation is also studied.

  • In this paper, we derive the maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) and some approximate maximum likelihood estimators(AMLEs) of the scale parameter in an exponentiated half logistic distribution based on progressively Type-II censored samples. We compare the proposed estimators in the sense of the mean squared error(MSE) through a Monte Carlo simulation for various censoring schemes. We also obtain the AMLEs of the reliability function.

  • When we deal with a Hilbert space-valued Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) (or Stochastic Partial Differential Equation (SPDE)), depending on some unknown parameters, the solution usually has a Fourier series expansion. In this situation we consider the maximum likelihood method for the statistical estimation problem and derive the asymptotic properties (consistency and normality) of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE).

  • Kiefer (1961) studied asymptotic behavior of empirical distribution using the law of the iterated logarithm. Robertson and Wright (1974a) discussed whether this type of result would hold for a maximum likelihood estimator of a stochastically ordered distribution function; however, we show that this cannot be achieved. We provide only a partial answer to this problem. The result is applicable to both estimation and testing problems under the restriction of stochastic ordering.
