In this paper, the problem of testing exponentiality against net decreasing variance residual lifetime (NDVRL) classes of life distributions is investigated. For this property a nonparametric test is presented based on kernel method. The test is presented for complete and right censored data. Furthermore, Pitman's asymptotic relative efficiency (PARE) is discussed to assess the performance of the test with respect to other tests. Selected critical values are tabulated. Some numerical simulations on the power estimates are presented for proposed test. Finally, numerical examples are presented for the purpose of illustrating our test.

In this paper we propose support vector quantile regression (SVQR) for randomly right censored data. The proposed procedure basically utilizes iterative method based on the empirical distribution functions of the censored times and the sample quantiles of the observed variables, and applies support vector regression for the estimation of the quantile function. Experimental results we then presented to indicate the performance of the proposed procedure.

In order to estimate the mean and variance for a Normal distribution which is truncated at both right and left sides, maximum likelihood estimators based on the entire sample from the original distribution are compared with the sample mean and variance of the censored sample which is the data remaining after truncation using simulation. We found that, surprisingly, the mean squared error of the mean based on the censored data Is smaller than that of the full sample estimators.

To ensure the structural integrity of nuclear power plants, it is essential to predict the lifetime of Alloy 182 weld, which is used for welding in nuclear reactors. The lifetime of Alloy 182 weld is directly related to the crack initiation time. Owing to the large time scatter in most crack initiation tests, a probabilistic model, such as the Weibull distribution, has mainly been adopted for prediction. However, since statistically more advanced methods than current typical methods may be applied, we suggest a statistical procedure for parameter estimation of the crack initiation time of Alloy 182 weld, considering right-censored data and the covariate effect. Furthermore, we suggest a procedure for uncertainty evaluation of the estimators based on the bootstrap method. The suggested statistical procedure can be applied not only to Alloy 182 weld but also to any material degradation data set including right-censored data with covariate effect.

제품의 수명은 품질을 나타내는 중요한 특성치이다. 이상적으로는 모든 표본의 수명자료를 측정하는 것이 가장 바람직하나, 이를 측정하는데 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되는 경우 중도절단된 자료로 표본을 구성하는 경우가 많이 발생한다. 이 논문에서는 제1형의 우측중도절단된 수명자료가 와이블 분포를 따를 경우 척도모수의 감소를 탐지하는 이항 누적합 관리도 절차를 제안하였다. 모의실험에서 평균런길이를 이용하여 제안된 관리도 절차의 효율을 이전에 연구된 누적합 관리도 절차와 비교하였는데, 그 결과 중도절단율이 높을 경우와 표본의 크기가 적은 경우 제안된 이항 누적합 관리도가 더 효율적임을 알 수 있었다.

We derive an asymptotic relation between the scores for the censored and uncensored observations for the untied value case among uncensored observations. With this relation, we show that two types of the linear rank statistics which are based on any consistent estimates of the distribution function, are asymptotically equivalent. Also, we discuss another asymptotic equivalence considered by Cuzick (1985).

제품의 수명을 유지시키는 것은 품질관리의 주요 목표 중 하나이다. 실제 공정에서는 시간 및 비용의 문제로 인해 모든 표본의 수명을 측정할 수 없는 경우가 많이 발생하기 때문에, 대부분 중도절단된 자료를 포함시켜 표본을 구성한다. 이 논문에서는 제1형의 우측중도절단된 수명 자료가 로그정규분포를 따르는 경우, 제품 수명의 평균을 모니터링하는 두 가지 누적합 관리도 절차를 제안한다. 하나는 우도비에 기초한 누적합 관리도이고, 다른 하나는 이항분포에 기초한 누적합 관리도 절차이다. 모의실험을 통해 평균런길이를 비교하는 방법으로 제안된 두 관리도 절차의 성능을 비교하였다. 모의실험 결과, 중도절단율이 낮은 경우, 형상모수값이 작은 경우, 평균의 감소 변화량이 큰 경우에는 우도비 누적합 관리도가 더 효율적이며, 반대로 중도절단율이 높은 경우, 형상모수값이 큰 경우, 평균의 감소 변화량이 적은 경우에는 이항 누적합 관리도가 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Exponentiated distribution has been used in reliability and survival analysis especially when the data is censored. In this paper, we derive Bayesian estimation of the shape parameter, reliability function and failure rate function in the exponentiated distribution family based on Type-II right censored data. We here consider conjugate prior and noninformative prior and corresponding posterior distributions are obtained. As an illustration, the mean square errors of the estimates are computed. Comparisons are made between these estimators using Monte Carlo simulation study.

Various methods have been studied to construct a fuzzy regression model in order to present a fuzzy relation between a dependent variable and an independent variable. However, in the fuzzy regression analysis the value of the center point of estimated fuzzy output may be either greater than the value of the right endpoint or smaller than the value of the left endpoint. In the case, we cannot predict the fuzzy output properly. This paper presents sufficient conditions to construct the fuzzy regression model using several methods investigated by some authors and then introduces the censored fuzzy regression model using the censored samples to manipulate the problem of crossing of the center and the end points of the estimated fuzzy number. Examples show that the censored fuzzy regression model is an extension of the fuzzy regression model and also it improves the problem of crossing.

In this research, we compare the efficiency of two test procedures proposed by Prentice and Gloeckler (1978) and Park and Hong (2009) for grouped data with possible right censored observations. Both test statistics were derived using the likelihood ratio principle, but under different semi-parametric models. We review the two statistics with asymptotic normality and consider obtaining empirical powers through a simulation study. The simulation study considers two types of models the location translation model and the scale model. We discuss some interesting features related to the grouped data and obtain null distribution functions with a re-sampling method. Finally we indicate topics for future research.
