Amputated life-testing based on extended Dagum percentiles for type of group inspection plans: optimal sample sizes, termination time ratios analysis

This paper introduces a novel approach to life-testing using Extended Dagum (EXD) percentiles within the framework of group inspection plans. The methodology focuses on optimizing sample sizes and analyzing termination time ratios to enhance the reliability of quality control procedures. By leveraging the flexibility of the EXD distribution, the proposed approach accurately models complex survival data, accommodating heavy-tailed characteristics often encountered in practice. The study presents a detailed analysis of optimal sample sizes and the critical termination time ratios that balance producer and consumer risks. Through comprehensive simulations and real applications, the paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in ensuring robust and efficient life-testing strategies, offering valuable insights for practitioners in industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and reliability analysis.

Accurate interval estimation for the risk difference in an incomplete correlated 2 × 2 table: Calf immunity analysis

Interval estimation with accurate coverage for risk difference (RD) in a correlated 2 × 2 table with structural zero is a fundamental and important problem in biostatistics. The score test-based and Bayesian tail-based confidence intervals (CIs) have good coverage performance among the existing methods. However, as approximation approaches, they have coverage probabilities lower than the nominal confidence level for finite and moderate sample sizes. In this paper, we propose three new CIs for RD based on the fiducial, inferential model (IM) and modified IM (MIM) methods. The IM interval is proven to be valid. Moreover, simulation studies show that the CIs of fiducial and MIM methods can guarantee the preset coverage rate even for small sample sizes. More importantly, in terms of coverage probability and expected length, the MIM interval outperforms other intervals. Finally, a real example illustrates the application of the proposed methods.

Case-Based Reasoning for Hidden Property Analysis of Judgment Debtors

Many judgment debtors try to evade, confront, and delay law enforcement using concealing and transferring their property to resist law enforcement in China. The act of hiding property seriously affects people’s legitimate rights and interests and China’s legal authority. Therefore, it is essential to find an effective method of analyzing whether a judgment debtor hides property. Aiming at the hidden property analysis problem, we propose a case-based reasoning method for the judgment debtor’s hidden property analysis. In the hidden property analysis process, we present the attributes of the enforcement case by crisp symbols, crisp numbers, interval numbers, and fuzzy linguistic variables and develop a hybrid similarity measure between the historical enforcement case and the target enforcement case. The results show that the recommendations obtained with the information and knowledge of similar historical cases are consistent with judicial practice, which can reduce the work pressure of law enforcement officers and improve the efficiency of handling enforcement cases.
