We consider a sequence of independent and identicaly distributed (iid) random variables with absolutely continuous distri- bution function F(x) and probability density function (pdf) f(x). Let Rnl be the largest observation after observing nth record and R(ns) be the smallest observation after observing the nth record. Then we say Wnr = Rnl R(ns), n > 1, as the nth record range. We will consider some distributional properties of Wnr when f(x) = 1 ,0 x 1.
Multiple Regression analysis is one of the most critical and widely used statistical techniques in medical and applied research. It is dened as a multivariate technique for determining the correlation between a response variable and some combination of two or more predictor variables. Moreover, it is well-known in medical sciences that the obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol are major risk factors for cardiovascular health issues. The body mass index is a measure of body size, and combines a person's weight with their height, and therefore can affect their obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes mellitus significantly, which are major risk factors for cardiovascular health issues in adults. Motivated by these facts, in this paper, a multiple linear regression model is developed to analyze the obesity in adults, based on a sample data of adult's age, height, weight, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, cholesterol, and the body mass index measurements. The use of multiple linear regression is illustrated in the prediction study of adult's obesity based on their body mass index. It is observed that in the presence of adult's age, weight, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol levels, height is a good predictor of the body mass index. Moreover, in the presence of age, height, waist, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol levels, weight is a good predictor of the body mass index. Some concluding remarks are given in the end.
introduced a generalized Burr increasing, decreasing, and upside-down bathtub failure rate life-testing model.In this paper, we provide some characterizations of this life-testing model by truncated first moment, order statistics and upper record values.We also investigate the reliability, simulation, and Akaike information criterion for this model.
We begin to study different limit theorems for order statistics. In this chapter we consider the asymptotic distributions for the so-called middle and intermediate order statistics.
Abstract In this article, we consider the generalized secant hyperbolic (GSH) distribution with known shape parameter t. Exact expressions for single and product moments of order statistics are established. The expressions are represented in terms of Riemann zeta, polygamma and hypergeometric functions. These special functions allow us to use a series of Mathematica procedures that will compute the means, variances and covariances of order statistics from the GSH distribution. The so-obtained values are used to compute the coefficients of the best linear unbiased estimators of the location and scale parameters. The variances of these estimators are also presented. A real data set has been performed to illustrate our findings.

Among all measures of independence between random variables, mutual information is the only one that is based on information theory. Mutual information takes into account of all kinds of dependencies between variables, i.e., both the linear and non-linear dependencies. In this paper we have classified some well-known bivariate distributions into two classes of distributions based on their mutual information. The distributions within each class have the same mutual information. These distributions have been used extensively as survival distributions of two component systems in reliability theory.
Some distributional properties of the generalized type 1 logistic distribution are given. Based on these distributional property a characterization of this distribution is presented.Key words: Conditional Expectation; Reversed Hazard Rate; Characterization.
Suppose are the order statistics of a random sample of size n from a power-function distribution known. The best linear unbiased estimators of α and/or β based on k(≤ n) order statistics are obtained. It is found that the efficiencies are very high if (x(l), x(2)) or (x(l), x(n)) (depending on the value of γ) Is used for estimating α when β is known and (x(l), x(n)) is used for jointly estimating α and β. In estimating β when α is known, x(n) is proved to be the optimum order statistic.
