The study used a dataset from Benjamin Mkapa Hospital (BMH) of end-stage CKD patients treated from 2018 to 2021 for a follow-up time of 172 weeks and an exponentiated half-logistic (EHLD) distribution used as baseline distribution in this cure model. The findings revealed that the cure probability for National health insurance fund (NHIF) sponsored patients were 46% and the cure probability for self-sponsored patients was 5%. Additionally, the median survival for NHIF-sponsored subjects was 48 weeks and for self-sponsored was 36 weeks. The cure fraction for NHIF-sponsored CKD patients was significantly higher than for self-sponsored patients. Therefore, treatment sponsorship was a significant factor in the...

The existing neutrosophic exponentially weighted moving average charts are not capable of seizure the unusual changes threatened to the manufacturing processes. The control chart coefficients have been estimated using the symmetry property of the Gaussian distribution for the uncertain environment. The neutrosophic Monte Carlo simulation methodology has been developed to check the efficiency and performance of the proposed chart by calculating the neutrosophic average run lengths and neutrosophic standard deviations. The proposed chart has been compared with the counterpart charts for confirmation of the proposed technique and found to be a robust chart.

The design parameters such as the minimum group size and the acceptance number are derived when the consumer’s risk and the test termination time are specified. The operating characteristic (OC) function values are calculated (intended) according to various quality levels and the minimum ratios of the true average life to the specified average life at the specified producer’s risk are derived. The methodology is illustrated through real data.

The median life of the product for the proposed sampling plan is assured based on a time-truncated life test, when a lifetime of the product follows exponentiated Weibull distribution (EWD). For the proposed plan, optimal parameters such as the number of preceding lots required for deciding whether to accept or reject the current lot, sample size, and rejection and acceptance numbers are obtained by the approach of two points on the operating characteristic curve (OC curve). Tables are constructed for various combinations of consumer and producer’s risks for various shape parameters. The proposed MDS sampling plan for EWD is demonstrated using the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China. The performance of the proposed sampling plan is compared with the existing single-sampling plan (SSP) when t...

The minimum sample size necessary to ensure the specified life percentile is obtained under a given customer’s risk. The operating characteristic values (and curves) of the sampling plans as well as the producer’s risk are presented. Two examples with real data sets are also given as illustration.

The attention is put on extreme value copula analysis for financial data. It is possible to analyze extreme values in bivariate or multivariate case by using the copula approach. We present an inference procedure which is based on the maximum pseudo-likelihood estimate for the copula parameter. Some numerical techniques are used for selecting an appropriate extreme value copula model and for checking its goodness-of-fit. The presented method is illustrated by examples coming from Turkish financial market as a developing market, and also world’s leading financial markets;USA and Germany.

Some structural properties of the new distribution are studied. The maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the model parameters and the Fisher's information matrix is derived. We illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model by applications to real lifetime data.

The distribution of process variate is log-logistic distribution. The construction of mask and values of average run length are also presented. Such a chart is useful in early detection of shifts in the process average.
