Improved estimation of population variance in stratified successive sampling using calibrated weights under non-response.

This paper introduces a new method to estimate the population variance of a study variable in stratified successive sampling over two occasions, while accounting for random non-response. The method uses a logarithmic type estimator and leverages information from a highly positively correlated auxiliary variable. The paper also presents calibrated weights for the new estimator and examines its properties through numerical and simulation studies.

A new probabilistic model: Theory, simulation and applications to sports and failure times data.

In applied sectors, data modeling/analysis is very important for decision-making and future predictions. Data analysis in applied sectors mainly relies on probability distributions. Data arising from numerous sectors such as engineering-related fields have complex structures.

A general class of improved population variance estimators under non-sampling errors using calibrated weights in stratified sampling.

This paper proposes a new calibration estimator for population variance within a stratified two-phase sampling design. It takes into account random non-response and measurement errors, specifically applying this method to estimate the variance in Gas turbine exhaust pressure data. The study integrates additional information from two highly positively correlated auxiliary variables to develop a general class of estimators tailored for the stratified two-phase sampling scheme.

A new Topp-Leone Kumaraswamy Marshall-Olkin generated family of distributions with applications.

We aim in this paper to propose a novel class of distributions that was created by merging the Topp-Leone distribution and the Generated families of Kumaraswamy and Marshall-Olkin. Its cumulative distribution function characterizes it and includes rational and polynomial functions. In particular, the following desirable properties of the new family are presented: Shannon entropy, order statistics, the quantile power series, and several associated measures and functions.

In this article, our main aim is to suggest enhanced families of estimators for estimating the population distribution function (DF) using twofold auxiliary evidence within the framework of simple random sampling. Numerical analysis is performed on four different actual data sets. The precision of the estimators is further investigated exhausting a simulation study.

A new approach for estimating variance of a population employing information obtained from a stratified random sampling.

In this article, we suggest an enhanced estimator for the estimation of finite population variance using twofold auxiliary variable under stratified random sampling. The numerical expressions for the bias and MSE are determined up to the first order of approximation. In order to effectively validate the theoretical findings, three actual data sets are included.

Efficient estimation of population variance of a sensitive variable using a new scrambling response model.

This study introduces a pioneering scrambling response model tailored for handling sensitive variables. Subsequently, a generalized estimator for variance estimation, relying on two auxiliary information sources, is developed following this novel model. Analytical expressions for bias, mean square error, and minimum mean square error are meticulously derived up to the first order of approximation, shedding light on the estimator's statistical performance.

Enhancing mean estimators in median ranked set sampling with dual auxiliary information.

When measuring the research variable is complicated, expensive, or problematic, median ranked set sampling (MRSS) is often utilized since it is straightforward to rank the components using a low-cost sorting criterion. Using this sampling scheme, many authors considered the problem of population mean estimation with a single auxiliary variable in order to obtain more precised estimators than the traditional ratio type regression estimators. In this article, we extend their ideas based on regression approach using two auxiliary variables and introduce a new regression-type estimator along with its theoretical expression of minimum mean square error (MSE).

A new alpha logarithmic-generated class to model precipitation data with theory and inference.

Precipitation, or rainfall, is a central feature of the weather cycle and plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth. However, existing models such as the Poisson, exponential, normal, log-normal, generalized Pareto, gamma, generalized extreme value, lognormal, beta, Gumbel, Weibull, and Pearson type III distributions used for predicting precipitation are often inadequate for precisely representing the complex pattern of rainfall. This study proposes a novel and innovative approach to address these limitations through the new alpha logarithmic-generated (NAL-G) class of distributions.

Statistical inferences under step stress partially accelerated life testing based on multiple censoring approaches using simulated and real-life engineering data.

Evaluating the lifespan distribution of highly reliable commodities under regular use is exceedingly difficult, time consuming, and extremely expensive. As a result of its ability to provide more failure data faster and at a lower experimental cost, accelerated life testing has become increasingly important in life testing studies. In this article, we concentrate on parametric inference for step stress partially life testing utilizing multiple censored data based on the Tampered Random Variable model.
