Interval Estimation of Reliability Characteristics of a k-identical Unit Standby Redundant System
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-02)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Standby redundancy is a method for increasing the reliability of a system through the use of additional "backup" units. Assuming perfect failure-sensing and ...
On Nonlinear Parameter Estimation in Least Squares Approximation
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1993-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A non-matrix form of Newton's method for systems of nonlinear
equations is described for nonlinear parameter estimation in
least squares approximation. Computer ...
Efficient Nonlinear Parameter Estimation for Exponential Type, Least Square Approximation
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1985-03)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A computer algorithm is described for fitting data sets by least
squares to the functions [see pdf for notation]. A non matrix form of Newton's method is utilized ...
Efficiency Contours for Estimators of Reliability in a 2-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When there are available several point estimators of some parametric function, it would seem desirable to make a comparison among the estimators based on some measure ...
Efficiency in Estimation of Mean Time to Failure in a Two-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When comparing two point estimators of some parametric function,
Pitman-closeness efficiency gives the "odds" in favor of one of
the estimators being closer to ...
Estimation of the Guarantee Time in a Two-Parameter Exponential Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-01)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: There are available several classical point estimators of the guarantee time (location parameter) in a two-parameter exponential failure model. For the purpose of ...
An Information Theoretic Approach to Incorporating Prior Information in Binomial Sampling
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1983-05)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The incorporation of prior information about [see pdf for notation], where [see pdf for notation] is the success probability in a binomial sampling model, is an ...
Testing Exponentiality Against IDMRL Distributions with Unknown Change Point
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1991)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Guess, Hollander and Proschan (1986) proposed tests for exponentiality versus IDMRL (increasing initially and then decreasing mean residual life) distributions when ...
