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 ...
Truncated Circular Normal Distribution with Applications in Ballistics and Meteorology
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1973-12)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The use of the circular normal distribution (CND) to describe the behavior of random phenomena of a geophysical nature has been discussed by Crutcher [7, p. 9]. ...
On the Determination of Critical Values for Bartlett's Test
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1979-06)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The exact critical values for Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variances based on equal sample sizes from several normal populations are
tabulated. It is also ...
Statistical Analysis of Fourier Coefficients in a Restricted Harmonic Dial
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1975-04)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Due to the physical nature of certain periodic data, the harmonic dial points (the Fourier coefficients obtained from harmonic analysis of the data) are sometimes ...
Methodology for Testing Homogeneity of Variances
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1979-02)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: Suppose random samples are drawn from each of n populations with unknown means and variances. Developing procedures to test the claim that the population variances ...
Pitman-Closeness Efficiency of Estimators of Reliability with Application to the Exponent/Al Failure Model
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-10)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: When there are available several point estimators of component or system reliability, it would be of interest to compare such estimators through some "closeness to ...
Comparison of Point Estimators of Normal Percentiles
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1977-08)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: There are available several point estimators of the percentiles
of a normal distribution with both mean and variance unknown. Consequently, it would seam appropriate ...
The Most Conservative Beta Prior Distribution for Binomial Sampling
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1982-06)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The incorporation of prior information about a parameter into a statistical
procedure is an essential feature of Bayesian statistics. However, the manner in which ...
Optimum Structural Probability Bounds for the Right-tail of the Paretian Law
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1976-06)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The two-parameter Pareto density function [see PDF for equation] is widely used in applied statistics. For example, in reliability theory (1.1) represents the ...
A Survey of Techniques for Determining Lower Confidence Bounds on Series System Reliability Based on Subsystem Test Data
(University of Texas at Arlington, 1975-09)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: A problem of considerable interest and for which a
great deal of research has been expended is that of
determining lower confidence bounds on series system ...
