Active Redundancy Allocation Strategy at Component and System Level

Researchers and practitioners in the field of reliability engineering and optimization frequently use active redundancy techniques to intensify the performance of systems. In this article, we study allocation strategies of non-matching active redundancies (spares) in coherent systems consisting of possibly dependent and identical components for achieving better system reliability. The dependence of the components is modeled through copulas using the distortion function. Sufficient conditions are derived to establish optimal allocation strategies for two heterogeneous active redundancies at the component or system levels. Moreover, the results are true for the component lifetimes following a general family of parametric distributions. The results guarantee the likelihood ratio (reversed hazard) ordering between the coherent systems at the component level (system level) active redundancies. Some aging properties are also established in this endeavor. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the theoretical results.

Control Charts for Percentiles of Truncated Beta Distributed Environmental Data Using Studentized Bootstrap Method

This paper proposes a control chart for monitoring percentiles of a process that follows a truncated beta distribution, utilizing a studentized parametric bootstrap method to account for the case when in-control parameters are unknown. To evaluate the in-control performance, extensive Monte Carlo simulations are conducted across various combinations of percentiles, false alarm rates, and sample sizes, with performance measured in terms of the average run length. The out-of-control performance is thoroughly assessed by introducing shifts in the distributional parameters and comparing the proposed chart with the conventional beta-based chart. The effectiveness and practical applicability of the proposed chart is illustrated through real-world examples from environmental data.

Some Results on Comparisons of Random Extremes having Identical and Non-Identical Components

In this article, we revisit the paper by Kundu et al.~(2024), presenting new results and insights for both identical and non-identical independent random variables. We derive sufficient conditions for preserving the hazard rate and reversed hazard rate orderings between the random maximum and minimum order statistics, respectively. Our results show that these preservation conditions also hold for independent and identically distributed random variables. We also demonstrate that the findings in Kundu et al.~(2024) for the non-identical cases do not apply to the identical cases.

Stochastic Comparisons of Random Extremes from non-identical Random Variables

We propose some new results on the comparison of the minimum or maximum order statistic from a random number of non-identical random variables. Under the non-identical set-up, with certain conditions, we prove that random minimum (maximum) of one system dominates the other in hazard rate (reversed hazard rate) order. Further, we prove variation diminishing property (Karlin [8]) for all possible restrictions to derive the new results.

Control Chart for Generalized Weibull Quantiles under Hybrid Censoring

In this article, bootstrap and Shewhart type process control monitoring schemes are proposed for the quantiles of generalized Weibull distribution under hybrid censoring. Monitoring schemes for the quantiles of Weibull, generalized exponential, Rayleigh, and Burr type $X$ distributions for type I, type II and hybrid censoring can be obtained as the special cases of the proposed schemes. The maximum likelihood estimators are derived under hybrid censoring using EM algorithm and the asymptotic properties of the estimators are discussed in order to develop the Shewhart type scheme. The in-control performance of the schemes is examined in a simulation study on the basis of the average run length for different choices of quantiles, false-alarm rates and sample sizes. Behavior of the out-of-control performance of the schemes is studied for several choices of shifts in the parameters of the chosen density function. The proposed monitoring schemes are illustrated with an example from healthcare and compared with similar schemes under type I and type II censoring. The schemes are found to detect out-of-control signals effectively in terms of frequency and speed both.
