Cover of An Introduction to Lifetime Data Analysis

Cover of Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis
This book provides a fresh approach to reliability theory, an area that has gained increasing relevance in fields from statistics and engineering to demography and insurance. Its innovative use of quantile functions gives an analysis of lifetime data that is generally simpler, more robust, and more accurate than the traditional methods, and opens the door for further research in a wide variety of fields involving statistical analysis. In addition, the book can be used to good effect in the classroom as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in Reliability and Statistics.

Cover of Advances to Combinatorial Methods and Applications to Probability and Statistics
This volume presents 32 invited chapters by researchers in this field of mathematics. The goal of the book is to bring together the work of theoreticians and applied researchers and provide a broad forum to share ideas and recent results. The collection describes and surveys theoretical developments and demonstrates some important applications in a variety of areas, including: applications to queueing theory; waiting time problems; applications to distribution theory; and applications to nonparametric statistics.

Cover of The Art of Progressive Censoring

This book offers a thorough and updated guide to the theory and methods of progressive censoring, an area that has experienced tremendous growth over the last decade. The theory has developed quite nicely in some special cases having practical applications to reliability and quality.

The Art of Progressive Censoring is a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in applied statistics, quality control, life testing, and reliability. With its accessible style and concrete examples, the work may also be used as a textbook in an advanced undergraduate or a beginning graduate course on censoring or progressive censoring, as well as a supplementary textbook for a course on ordered data.

Cover of Progressive Censoring

This new book offers a guide to the theory and methods of progressive censoring. In many industrial experiments involving lifetimes of machines or units, experiments have to be terminated early. Progressive Censoring first introduces progressive sampling foundations, and then discusses various properties of progressive samples. The book points out the greater efficiency gained by using this scheme instead of classical right-censoring methods.
