  • During the last three decades, a few attentions have been paid for investigating the cost distribution for the optimal maintenance problems. In this article, we derive the moment of the discounted cost distribution over an infinite time horizon for the basic age replacement problem. With first two moments of the discounted cost distribution, we approximate the underlying distribution function by three theoretical distributions. Through a Monte Carlo simulation, we conclude that the log-normal distribution is the best fitted one to approximate the discounted cost distribution.

  • We reconstruct the underlying dark matter (DM) density distribution of the local universe within 20Mpc/h cubic box by using the galaxy position and peculiar velocity. About 1,000 subboxes in the Illustris-TNG cosmological simulation are used to train the relation between DM density distribution and galaxy properties by using UNet-like convolutional neural network (CNN). The estimated DM density distributions have a good agreement with their truth values in terms of pixel-to-pixel correlation, the probability distribution of DM density, and matter power spectrum. We apply the trained CNN architecture to the galaxy properties from the Cosmicflows-3 catalogue to reconstruct the DM density distribution of the local universe. The reconstructed DM density distribution can be used to understand the evolution and fate of our local environment.

  • A repair process of a system consisting of both perfect repairs and minimal repairs is introduced. The type of repair, when the system fails, is determined by an embedded two state Markov chain. We study several stochastic properties of the process including the preservation of ageing properties and the monotonicities of the time between successive repairs. After assigning repair costs to the process, we also show that an optimal repair policy uniquely exists, if the underlying life distribution of the system has DMRL.

  • An adaptive distribution-free test is proposed for testing the equality of k independent distributions against unrestricted alternatives. In this paper, several rank-sum test statistics are considered as teh components of the adaptive one. The emprical powers of the adaptive testing procedure are compared to those of the classical F test and the component tests through a Monte Carlo study. The results show that the adaptive test has good power properties over a wide class of underlying distributions.

  • The family income distributions of NLSY97 and CPS youth data are compared by using the generalized beta distribution of the second kind. The null hypothesis that the two data sets represent the same underlying population is rejected. The ML estimation suggests that NLSY97 data are oversampled in an income group of $11,308 or less, by about 15.7% compared to CPS data.

  • A block replacement policy where at failure the item is either replaced by a new or used item or remains inactive until the next planned replacement is considered. in this paper our interests are focused on reusing all the used items created by the policy. Numerical results for the case where the underlying life distribution is gamma are obtained.

  • This paper presents a robust process capability index(PCI) based on the expected loss derived from the empirical distribution function(EDF). We propose the EDF expected loss in order to develop a PCI that does not depends on the underlying process distribution. The EDF expected loss depends only on the sample data, so the PCI based on it is robust and it does nor require complex calculations. The inverted normal loss function(INLF) is employed in order to overcome the drawback of the quadratic loss which may Increase unboundedly outside the specification limits. A comprehensive simulation study was performed under various process distributions, in order to compare the accuracy and the precision of the proposed PCI with those of the PCI based on the expected loss derived from the normal distribution. The proposed PCI turned out to be more accurate than the normal PCI in most cases, especially when the process distribution has high kurtosis or skewness. It is expected that the proposed PCI can be utilized In real processes where the true distribution family may not be known.

  • Testing for normality has always been a center of practical and theoretical interest in statistical research. In this paper a test statistic for bivariate normality is proposed. The underlying idea is to investigate all the possible linear combinations that reduce to the standard normal distribution under the null hypothesis and compare the order statistics of them with the theoretical normal quantiles. The suggested statistic is invariant with respect to nonsingular matrix multiplication and vector addition. We show that the limit distribution of an approximation to the suggested statistic is represented as the supremum over an index set of the integral of a suitable Gaussian Process. We also simulate the null distribution of the statistic and give some critical values of the distribution and power results.

  • We frequently use Tukey's boxplot to identify outliers in the batch of observations of the continuous variable. In doing so, we implicitly assume that the underlying distribution belongs to the family of normal distributions. Such a practice of data handling is often superficial and improper, since in reality too many variables manifest the skewness. In this short paper, we build a modified boxplot and set the outlier identification procedure by assuming that the observations are generated from the skew normal distribution (Azzalini, 1985), which is an extension of the normal distribution. Statistical performance of the proposed procedure is examined with simulated datasets.

  • Let A(n) and B(n) be sequences of $m \times m$ random matrices with a joint asymptotic distribution as $n \to \infty$. The asymptotic distribution of the ordered roots of $$\mid$A(n) - f B(n)$\mid$ = 0$ depends on the multiplicity of the roots of a determinatal equation involving parameter roots. This paper treats the asymptotic distribution of the roots of the above determinantal equation in the case where some of parameter roots are zero. Furthermore, we apply our results to deriving the asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues of the MANOVA matrix in the noncentral case when the underlying distribution is not multivariate normal and some parameter roots are zero.
