On simultaneous best linear unbiased prediction of future order statistics and associated properties
Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan, Ritwik Bhattacharya
In this article, the joint best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) of two future unobserved order statistics, based on a set of observed order statistics, are developed explicitly.…
A MCMC-type simple probabilistic approach for determining optimal progressive censoring schemes
Ritwik Bhattacharya, Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan
We present here a simple probabilistic approach for determining an optimal progressive censoring scheme by defining a probability structure on the set of feasible solutions. Given…
D-optimal joint best linear unbiased prediction of order statistics
Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan, Ritwik Bhattacharya
In life-testing experiments, it is often of interest to predict unobserved future failure times based on observed early failure times. A point best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP)…
Determination of Bayesian optimal warranty length under Type-II unified hybrid censoring scheme
Tanmay Sen, Ritwik Bhattacharya, Biswabrata Pradhan +1
Determination of an appropriate warranty length for the lifetime of the product is an important issue to the manufacturer. In this article, optimal warranty length of the product f…
Statistical inference and Bayesian optimal life-testing plans under Type-II unified hybrid censoring scheme
Tanmay Sen, Ritwik Bhattacharya, Biswabrata Pradhan +1
This article describes the inferential procedures and Bayesian optimal life-testing issues under Type-II unified hybrid censoring scheme. First, the explicit expressions of expecte…
