Use of Ranked Set Sampling in The Estimation of Parameters ?? and ?? of Morgenstern Type Bivariate Exponential Distribution

By: N.K. Sajeev Kumar , Sumi A.R.

Page No : 16-42

Abstract
In this article we have derived the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) of the parameters ?2 and ?2 involved in the Morgenstern type bivariate exponential distribution by ranked set sampling (RSS). Also we have evaluated the BLUE's of ?2 and ?2 involved in the Morgenstern type bivariate exponential distribution by concomitants of ranked set sampling for some specific values of the sample size n. The efficiency comparison of the proposed estimators with that of the estimators using concomitants of order statistics and modified ranked set sampling is also made.

Reliability and Availability Improvement of Raw Material Charging Station in A Steel Industry

By: Subrata Rath , Ashis Kumar Chakraborty , Subhashis Chatterjee

Page No : 61-85

Abstract
Raw Material Charging Station (RMCS) is one of the most important infrastructures in steel industry and is used to load and carry crushed iron ore to furnace. Breakdown behaviour of the RMCS was observed for a certain period, and its future behaviour was predicted using a reliability model. For improvement of availability however, a Six sigma approach was used. Initial focus was to reduce the repair time per month in order to make RMCS more available for use and save the financial loss due to unavailability of the furnaces to produce steel. This study discovers a way to simultaneously improve reliability, reduce repair time and thereby improve availability of the RMCS. The study also generalises an approach for improving reliability and availability for any mechanised repairable system using six sigma methodologies.

Inference and Prediction of Order Statistics Based On K-Record Values from A Weibull Distribution

By: Manoj Chacko , Laji Muraleedharan

Page No : 86-102

Abstract
In this paper, the problem of estimation of parameters and prediction of order statistics from a future sample based on upper k-record values arising from a two parameter Weibull distribution is considered. The maximum likelihood estimators and the Bayes estimators are obtained based on observed upper k-record values. Bayesian point predictors of the order statistics from a future sample and its two-sided equi-tailed prediction intervals are also derived. Finally, a numerical illustration is considered for exemplifying the proposed inferential procedures developed in this paper.

Instruction to the Author

Manuscripts should be typewritten in MS WORD using Times New Roman with 1.15 space and 1

The Editors and EB Members take every precaution to guard against any violation of publication ethics by the contributors to the journal. Mostly the manuscripts deal with ‘secondary’ data sets for illustrative purposes of the theories/methodologies proposed therein and suggestive possible application areas. When there are theoretical issues dealt with by the authors, the Editors aim at choosing Reviewers who are subject-area experts and competent enough to judge the merits and the technical details in the submission. Generally there are cases of 2-3 revisions before a manuscript is eventually accepted for publication. There are submissions leading to rejection as well.

Any submitted manuscript is first read by one of the Editors for ‘screening purpose’. Once satisfied, it is assigned to one EB Member for further reading and processing. Otherwise, the Editor suggests the names of Reviewers who are known to be a subject-area experts.

The contributors are generally aware of the implications of following any malpractice while preparing a manuscript for journal publication. Every precaution should be exercised by the contributors of manuscripts [for publication in the journal] to stay completely away from following any malpractice whatsoever. All necessary references must be included in the list of references and due acknowledgement should be made in the manuscript for use of any published material. Any explicit/implicit implication of malpractice will immediately force towards outright rejection of the manuscript and no further correspondence/submission by the concerned author will be entertained by the Editors.

All the above considerations are equally applicable to the Editors and EB Members in case they wish to submit manuscript(s) for publication in the journal.
