Maximum Likelihood Estimation Of Parameters For Poisson-Exponential Distribution Under Progressive Type I Interval Censoring

Abstract The problem of estimating the parameters of Poisson-Exponential distribution under progressive type-I interval censoring is considered. Previously, researchers have considered maximum likelihood estimation under the progressive type-I interval censoring scheme for various distribution, but no research has considered Poisson-Exponential. Poisson-Exponential is a two-parameter lifetime distribution having an increasing hazard function. It has been applied in complementary risks problem...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters of Lomax Distribution Based on Progressive Type-II Hybrid Censoring Scheme.

    Abstract Lomax distribution is an important lifetime distribution. The process of obtaining estimates of parameters for di_erent lifetime distributions under various schemes still remains an area of interest. In Lomax distribution, parameter estimates have been obtained using ordinary procedures like Newton Raphson when the test units follows a progressive Type-II hybrid censoring scheme whereby within most cases the obtained values do not converge easily to the true value. The MLEs a...

Predictive Models For Identifying Critical Units For Inspection In A Regulatory Body

ABSTRACT Routine inspections are conducted at various food establishments that yield large data sets, which capture attributes useful for data mining algorithms to predict critical violations. Critical violations related to food establishments cause serious public health problems, which may happen as result of unhygienic environment, leading to food contamination. This study presents predictive models to detect critical violations in food establishments by employing Logistic Regression (LR),...
