A Study on Mixture of Exponentiated Rayleigh and Exponentiated Exponential Distributions Based on Order Statistics

Mixtures of lifetime distributions occur when two different causes of failure arc present, each with the same parametric form of lifetime distributions. This paper is considered with the mixture model of exponentiated Rayleigh and exponentiated exponential distributions. The author＇s objectives are finding the statistical properties of the model and estimating the parameters of the model by using point estimation and interval estimation methods. First, some properties of the model with some graphs of the density function are discussed. Next, the maximum likelihood method of estimation is used for estimating scale and shape parameters of the model. Estimating the parameters is studied under complete and type II censored samples for different sample sizes. Asymptotic Fisher information matrix of the estimators for complete samples is founded with different sample sizes. The asymptotic variances of the maximum likelihood estimates are derived. Based on the asymptotic variances of the maximum likelihood estimates, interval estimates of the parameters are obtained. Some of the equations in this paper are solved by using numerical iteration such as Newton Raphson method by using Mathematica 7.0. The performance of findings in the paper is showed by demonstrating some numerical illustrations through Monte Carlo simulation study based on absolute relative bias and mean square error.

This paper considers the parameters and reliability characteristics estimation problem of the generalized Rayleigh distribution under progressively Type-Ⅱ censoring with random removals,that is,the number of units removed at each failure time follows the binomial distribution.The maximum likelihood estimation and the Bayesian estimation are derived.In the meanwhile,through a great quantity of Monte Carlo simulation experiments we have studied different hyperparameters as well as symmetric and asymmetric loss functions in the Bayesian estimation procedure.A real industrial case is presented to justify and illustrate the proposed methods.We also investigate the expected experimentation time and discuss the influence of the parameters on the termination point to complete the censoring test.

A New Rayleigh Distribution:Properties and Estimation Based on Progressive Type-II Censored Data with an Application

In this paper,we propose a new extension of the traditional Rayleigh distribution called the modified Kies Rayleigh distribution.The new distribution contains one scale and one shape parameter and its hazard rate function can be increasing and bathtub-shaped.Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are derived including quantiles and moments.The parameters of modified Kies Rayleigh distribution are estimated based on progressively Type-II censored data.For this purpose,we consider two estimation methods,namely maximum likelihood and maximum product of spacing estimation methods.To compare the efficiency of the proposed estimators,a simulation study is carried out.To show the applicability of the new model as well as the estimation methods,one real data for failure times of software is analyzed.Based on the empirical parts,we can conclude that the proposed model can be considered as a good model in the field of life testing and reliability analysis compared with other competing models.

A Statistical Analysis of Wind Speed and Power Density Based on Weibull and Rayleigh Models of Jumla, Nepal

In the present study, wind speed data of Jumla, Nepal have been statistically analyzed. For this purpose, the daily averaged wind speed data for 10 year period (2004-2014: 2012 excluded) provided by Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) was analyzed to estimate wind power density. Wind speed as high as 18 m/s was recorded at height of 10 m. Annual mean wind speed was ascertained to be decreasing from 7.35 m/s in 2004 to 5.13 m/s in 2014 as a consequence of Global Climate Change. This is a subject of concern looking at government’s plan to harness wind energy. Monthly wind speed plot shows that the fastest wind speed is generally in month of June (Monsoon Season) and slowest in December/January (Winter Season). Results presented Weibull distribution to fit measured probability distribution better than the Rayleigh distribution for whole years in High altitude region of Nepal. Average value of wind power density based on mean and root mean cube seed approaches were 131.31 W/m2/year and 184.93 W/m2/year respectively indicating that Jumla stands in class III. Weibull distribution shows a good approximation for estimation of power density with maximum error of 3.68% when root mean cube speed is taken as reference.

VOICE ACTIVITY DETECTION UNDER RAYLEIGH DISTRIBUTION

This paper presents an improved Voice Activity Detection （VAD） algorithm which uses the Signal-to-Noise Ratio （SNR） measure. We assume that noise Power Spectral Density （PSD） in each spectral bin follows a Rayleigh distribution. Rayleigh distributions with its asymmetric tail characteristics give a better description of the noise PSD distribution than Gaussian distribution. Under this asstlmption, a new threshold updating expression is derived. Since the analytical integral of the false alarm probability, the threshold updating expression can be represented without the inverse complementary error function and low computational complexity is achieved in our system. Experimental results show that the proposed VAD outperforms or at least is comparable with the VAD scheme presented by Davis under several noise environments and has a lower computational complexity.

Application of Maximum Entropy Principle to Studying the Distribution of Wave Heights in A Random Wave Field

Based on the maximum entropy principle, a probability density function (PDF) is derived for the distribution of wave heights in a random wave field, without any more hypothesis. The present PDF, being a non-Rayleigh form, involves two parameters: the average wave height H— and the state parameter γ. The role of γ in the distribution of wave heights is examined. It is found that γ may be a certain measure of sea state. A least square method for determining γ from measured data is proposed. In virtue of the method, the values of γ are determined for three sea states from the data measured in the East China Sea. The present PDF is compared with the well known Rayleigh PDF of wave height and it is shown that it much better fits the data than the Rayleigh PDF. It is expected that the present PDF would fit some other wave variables, since its derivation is not restricted only to the wave height.

Maximum entropy principle and statistical distribution of ocean wave heights

This paper concerns an application of a popular existing law, the maximum entropy principle, to the study of statistical distribution of the ocean wave heights. Under two proper premisses. a conclusion that the wave heights obey the Weibull distribution is drawn by making use of the maximum entropy principle. From this result, we hold that the intnnsic departures using the Rayleigh distribution to describe The realistic wave height must exist, and the Weibull distribution usually used as an empirical one has profound origin in physics. The Gluhovskli's empirical wave heights distribution relying on water depth is also discussed briefly, and a possible physical explanation associated with the maximum entropy principle is carried out.
