Multivariate Analysis under Indeterminacy: An Application to Chemical Content Data.

The Hotelling T-squared statistic has been widely used for the testing of differences in means for the multivariate data. The existing statistic under classical statistics is applied when observations in multivariate data are determined, precise, and exact. In practice, it is not necessary that all observations in the data are determined and precise due to measurement in complex situations and under uncertainty environment. In this paper, we will introduce the Hotelling T-squared statistic under neutrosophic statistics (NS) which is the generalization of classical statistics and applied under uncertainty environment. We will discuss the application and advantage of the neutrosophic Hotelling T-squared statistic with the aid of data. From the comparison, we will conclude that the proposed statistic is more adequate and effective in uncertainty.

New Diagnosis Test under the Neutrosophic Statistics: An Application to Diabetic Patients.

The diagnosis tests (DT) under classical statistics are applied under the assumption that all observations in the data are determined. Therefore, these DT cannot be applied for the analysis of the data when some or all observations are not determined. The neutrosophic statistics (NS) which is the extension of classical statistics can be applied for the data having uncertain, unclear, and fuzzy observations. In this paper, we will present the DT, and gold-standard tests under NS are called neutrosophic diagnosis tests (NDT). Therefore, the proposed NDT is the generalization of the existing DT and can be applied under the uncertainty environment. We will present the NDT table and present a real example from the medical field. The use of the proposed method will be more effective and adequate to be used in medical science, biostatistics, decision, and classification analysis.

An attribute control chart for a Weibull distribution under accelerated hybrid censoring.

In this article, an attribute control chart has been proposed using the accelerated hybrid censoring logic for the monitoring of defective items whose life follows a Weibull distribution. The product can be tested by introducing the acceleration factor based on different pressurized conditions such as stress, load, strain, temperature, etc. The control limits are derived based on the binomial distribution, but the fraction defective is expressed only through the shape parameter, the acceleration factor and the test duration constant. Tables of the average run lengths have been generated for different process parameters to assess the performance of the proposed control chart. Simulation studies have been performed for the practical use, where the proposed chart is compared with the Shewhart np chart for demonstration of the detection power of a process shift.

Log-logistic distribution for survival data analysis using MCMC.

This paper focuses on the application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique for estimating the parameters of log-logistic (LL) distribution which is dependent on a complete sample. To find Bayesian estimates for the parameters of the LL model OpenBUGS-established software for Bayesian analysis based on MCMC technique, is employed. It is presumed that samples for independent non informative set of priors for estimating LL parameters are drawn from posterior density function. A proposed module was developed and incorporated in OpenBUGS to estimate the Bayes estimators of the LL distribution. It is shown that statistically consistent parameter estimates and their respective credible intervals can be constructed through the use of OpenBUGS. Finally comparison of maximum likelihood estimate and Bayes estimates is carried out using three plots. Additively through this research it is established that computationally MCMC technique can be effortlessly put into practice. Elaborate procedure for applying MCMC, to estimate parameters of LL model, is demonstrated by making use of real survival data relating to bladder cancer patients.
