Abstract
Abstract: Depending on the type of distribution, estimation of parameters are not sometimes simple in practice. In particular, this is the case for Birnbaum-Saunders distribution (BS). In this article, we present four different methods for estimating the parameters of a BS distribution. First, a simple graphical technique, analogous to probability plotting, is used to estimate the parameters and check for goodness-of-fit of failure times following a Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. Then, the maximum likelihood estimators and a modification of the moment estimators of a two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders distribution are discussed. Finally, The jackknife technique is considered as another method which is appropriate for the small sample size case. Monte Carlo simulation is also used to compare the performance of all these estimators.

Abstract
In this article introduce the sequential order statistics. Therefore based on multiply Type-II censored sample of sequential order statistics, Bayesian estimators are derived for the parameters of one- and two- parameter exponential distributions under the assumption that the prior distribution is given by an inverse gamma distribution and the Bayes estimator with respect to squared error loss is calculated. Moreover, prediction of future failure time is considered.
Finally in example Bayesian estimator and non-bayesian estimatores, namely the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) and Approximate Maximum Likelihood Estimator (AMLE) are derived.

Abstract
Methods for small area estimation have been received great attention in recent years due to growing demand for
reliable small area estimation that are needed in development planings, allocation of government funds and marking
business decisions. The key question in small area estimation is how to obtain reliable estimations when sample
size is small. When only a few observations(or even no observation) are available from a given small area, small
sample sizes lead to undesirably large standard errors. The only possible solution to the estimation problem is to
borrow strength from available data sets. This is accomplish by using appropriate linking models (included explicit
and implicit models) to increas the effect of sample size for estimation. The generalized linear mixed models and
the empirical best linear unbiased predictor, are extensively used to estimate reliable mean of small areas. In this
article,first we introduce the small area estimation.Then, to obtain reliable small area estimations we introduce the
Fay-Herriot model as a special case of the generalized linear mixed model. Finally, in an Simulation study we use
Iran 1382 agricultural census data to estimate orange production in Fars cities (small areas) in the year 1382 based
on Fay-Herriot model.

Abstract
There are different types of classification methods for classifying the certain data. All the time the value of the variables is not certain and they may belong to the interval that is called uncertain data. In recent years, by assuming the distribution of the uncertain data is normal, there are several estimation for the mean and variance of this distribution. In this paper, we consider the mean and variance for each of the start and end of intervals. Thus we assume that the distribution of uncertain data is bivariate normal distribution. We used the maximum likelihood to estimate the means and variances of the bivariate normal distribution. Finally, Based on the Naive Bayesian classification, we propose a Bayesian mixture algorithm for classifying the certain and uncertain data. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has high accuracy.

Abstract
Maximum likelihood estimation of multivariate distributions needs solving a optimization problem with large dimentions (to the number of unknown parameters) but two- stage estimation divides this problem to several simple optimizations. It saves significant amount of computational time. Two methods are investigated for estimation consistency check. We revisit Sankaran and Nair's bivariate Pareto distribution as an example. Two data sets (simulated data and real data) have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

Abstract
In this paper, a new probability distribution, based on the family of hyperbolic cosine distributions is proposed and its various statistical and reliability characteristics are investigated. The new category of HCF distributions is obtained by combining a baseline F distribution with the hyperbolic cosine function. Based on the base log-logistics distribution, we introduce a new distribution so-called HCLL and derive the various properties of the proposed distribution including the moments, quantiles, moment generating function, failure rate function, mean residual lifetime, order statistics and stress-strength parameter. Estimation of the parameters of HCLL for a real data set is investigated by using three methods: maximum likelihood, Bayesian and bootstrap (parametric and non-parametric). We evaluate the efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimation method by Monte Carlo simulation.
In addition, in the application section, by using a realistic data set, the superiority of HCLL model to generalized exponential, Weibull, hyperbolic cosine exponential, gamma, weighted exponential distributions is shown through the different criteria of selection model.

Abstract
A popular application of nonlinear models with mixed effects pharmacokinetic studies, in which the distribution of used drug during the life of the individual study. The fit of these models assume normality of the random effects and errors are common, but can not make it invalid results in the estimation. In longitudinal data analysis, typically assume that the random effects and random errors are normally distributed, but there is a possible violation of empirical studies. For this reason, the analysis of the pharmacokinetic data such as normal distribution, slashe, t - student and Contaminated normal considered to be based on analytical achieved. In this paper, parameter estimation of nonlinear models with mixed effects on the maximum likelihood estimation method and the Bayesian approach respectively by SAS software and Open Bugs pharmacokinetic data set for being carried out. Also, using the model selection criteria are based on these two approaches, we found the best fit model to the data.

Abstract
In the analysis of Bernoulli's variables, an investigation of the their dependence is of the prime importance. In this paper, the distribution of the Markov logarithmic series is introduced by the execution of the first-order dependence among Bernoulli variables. In order to estimate the parameters of this distribution, maximum likelihood, moment, Bayesian and also a new method which called the expected Bayesian method (E-Bayesian) are employed. In continuation, using a simulation study, it is shown that the expected Bayesian estimator out performed over the other estimators.

Abstract
The analysis of discrete mixed responses is an important statistical issue in various sciences. Ordinal and overdispersed binomial variables are discrete. Overdispersed binomial data are a sum of correlated Bernoulli experiments with equal success probabilities. In this paper, a joint model with random effects is proposed for analyzing mixed overdispersed binomial and ordinal longitudinal responses. In this model, we assume an overdispersed binomial response variable follows Beta-Binomial distribution and use a latent variable approach for modeling the ordinal response variable. Also, the model parameters are estimated via the Maximum Likelihood method, and the estimates are evaluated with a simulation study via the Monte Carlo method. Finally, an application of the proposed model to real data is introduced.

Abstract
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables, the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two new algorithms for the maximum likelihood estimations of parameters and to compare them in terms of speed and accuracy with existing algorithms. The presented algorithms are applied to a simulation study and their performances are compared.

Abstract
The occurrence of lifetime data is a problem which is commonly encountered in various researches, including surveys, clinical trials and epidemioligical studies. Recently there has been extensive methodological resarech on analyzing lifetime data. Howerver, because usually little information from data is available to corretly estimate, the inferences might be sensitive to untestable assumptions which this calls for a sensitivity analysis to be performed.
In this paper, we describe how to evaluate the effect that perturbations to the Log-Beta Weibull Regression Responses. Also, we review and extend the application and interpretation of influence analysis methods using censored data analysis. A full likelihood-based approach that allows yielding maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters is used. Some simulation studies are conducted to evalute the performance of the proposed indices in ddetecting sensitivity of key model parameters. We illustrate the methods expressed by analyzing the cancer data.

Abstract
Joint models use in follow-up studies to investigate the relationship between longitudinal markers and survival outcomes
and have been generalized to multiple markers or competing risks data. Many statistical achievements in the field of joint
modeling focuse on shared random effects models which include characteristics of longitudinal markers as explanatory variables
in the survival model. A less-known approach is the joint latent class model, assuming that a latent class structure
fully captures the relationship between the longitudinal marker and the event risk. The latent class model may be appropriate
because of the flexibility in modeling the relationship between the longitudinal marker and the time of event, as well as the
ability to include explanatory variables, especially for predictive problems. In this paper, we provide an overview of the joint
latent class model and its generalizations. In this regard, first a review of the discussed models is introduced and then the
estimation of the model parameters is discussed. In the application section, two real data sets are analyzed.

Abstract
When working on a set of regression data, the situation arises that this data
It limits us, in other words, the data does not meet a set of requirements. The generalized entropy method is able to estimate the model parameters Regression is without applying any conditions on the error probability distribution. This method even in cases where the problem Too poorly designed (for example when sample size is too small, or data that has alignment
They are high and ...) is also capable. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate the parameters of the logistic regression model using the generalized entropy of the maximum. A random sample of bank customers was collected and in this study, statistical work and were performed to estimate the model parameters from the binary logistic regression model using two methods maximum generalized entropy (GME) and maximum likelihood (ML). Finally, two methods were performed. We compare the mentioned. Based on the accuracy of MSE criteria to predict customer demand for long-term account opening obtained from logistic regression using both GME and ML methods, the GME method was finally more accurate than the ml method.

Abstract
In this paper, a generalization of the Gumbel distribution as the cubic transmuted Gumbel distribution based on the cubic ranking transmutation map is introduced. It is shown that for some of the parameters, the proposed density function is mesokurtic and for others parameters the density function is platykurtic function. The statistical properties of new distribution, consist of survival function, hazard function, moments and moment generating function have been studied. The parameters of cubic transmuted Gumbel distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. Also, the application of the cubic transmuted Gumbel distribution is shown with two numerical examples and compared with Gumbel distribution and transmuted Gumbel distribution. Finally, it is shown that for a data set, the proposed cubic transmuted Gumbel distribution is better than Gumbel distribution and transmuted Gumbel distribution.

Abstract
In this paper, the concept of unit generalized Gompertz (UGG) distribution will be introduced as a new transformed model of the unit Gompertz distribution, which contains the unit Gompertz distribution as a special case. We calculate explicit expressions for the moments, moment generating, quantile, and hazard functions, and Tsallis and R'{e}nyi entropy. Some different methods for estimation and inference about model parameters are presented too. To estimate the unknown parameters of the model, the maximum likelihood, maximum product spacings, and bootstrap sampling have been discussed, and also approximate confidence interval is presented. Finally, a simulation study and an application to a real data set are given.
