Discounted central limit theorem was proved for i.i.d. random variables by Gerber (Theorem 2.1). This work is intended to extend the work of Gerber to the case where {??} is a periodic sequence of independent variables and ?i are periodic scalars. A simulation study was performed in order to support...

We introduce expected coverage probability as a measure for constructing confidence intervals for the binomial proportion, p. We propose a model based confidence interval for p using the expected coverage probabilities of the Clopper-Pearson interval. The method provides intervals comparable or better...

Some new characterizations of probability distributions based on properties of record values shifted by independent exponential variables are obtained. Explicit expressions for the inverse functions of the corresponding variables are presented. Among others some characterizations of exponential distributions...

Most of statistical analysis for longitudinal data are based on normality assumption for the continuous response of interest which might be violated in some practical areas due to skewed data which possibly contain excess zeros. Some authors have proposed frequentist and Bayesian approaches to model...

The present paper deals with the two modified ratio estimators for estimation of population mean of the study variable using the linear combination of the known population values of the Correlation Coefficient and the Median of the auxiliary variable. The biases and the mean squared errors of the proposed...

Kumar and Shibu proposed a modified version of intervened Poisson distribution (IPD), namely the modified intervened Poisson distribution (MIPD) for tackling situations of further interventions useful for certain practical problems. Here we consider some finite mixtures of MIPD and study some of its...

The interval reliability of a repairable system is the probability that the system is operating at a specified time and will continue to operate for a specified interval of time. This quantity is especially important for equipment, which must be working when an emergency situation arises. The present...
