Abstract
Recurrent events are one type of multivariate survival data. Correlation between observations on each subject is the most important feature of this type of data. This feature does not allow using the ordinary survival models. Frailty models are one of the main approaches to the analysis of recurrent events. Ordinary Frailty models assumed the frailty is constant over time, that is not realistic in many applications. In this paper we introduce a time-dependent frailty model. The introduced model is based on piecewise semiparametric proportional hazard and frailty variable followed a Gamma distribution. The frailty variable in the model has a gamma process that is constant during each interval and has independent increments in the beginning of each interval. We found a close form function for integrated likelihood function and estimated parameters of model. The efficiency of introduced model was compared with an ordinary constant gamma model by a simulation study

Abstract
Modeling of extreme responses in presence nonlinear, temporal, spatial and interaction effects can be accomplished with mixed models. In addition, smoothing spline through mixed model and Bayesian approach together provide convenient framework for inference of extreme values. In this article, by representing as a mixed model, smoothing spline is used to assess nonlinear covariate effect on extreme values. For this reason, we assume that extreme responses given covariates and random effects are independent with generalized extreme value distribution. Then by using MCMC techniques in Bayesian framework, location parameter of distribution is estimated as a smooth function of covariates. Finally, the proposed model is employed to model the extreme values of ozone data.

Abstract
In this paper a new version of skew uniform distribution is introduced which is completely different from the previous works. Some important properties of the new distribution contain the expression for the density and distribution, kth moments, moment generating and characteristic functions, variance, skewness and kurtusis, mean deviation from the mean, median and mode and parameter estimation are investigated. Also a simulation study on this distribution is carried out to show the consistency of the maximum likelihood and moments estimators. In the end, the new skew uniform distribution is compared with uniform distribution.

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new two-parameters distribution, which is an extension of the Lindley distribution with increasing and bathtub-shaped failure rate, called as the Lindley-logarithmic (LL) distribution. The new distribution is obtained by compounding Lindley (L) and Logarithmic distributions. We obtain several properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, its failure rate functions, quantiles and moments. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure via a EM-algorithm is presented in this paper. At the end, in order to show the flexibility and potentiality of this new class, some series of real data is used to fit.

Abstract
We consider the purely sequential procedure for estimating the scale parameter of an exponential distribution, when the risk function is bounded by the known preassigned number. In this paper, we provide explicit formulas for the expectation of the total sample size. Also, we propose how to adjust the stopping variable so that the risk is uniformly bounded by a known preassigned number. In the end, the performances of the proposed methodology are investigated with the help of simulations.

Abstract
In this paper, we study a three-parameter bivariate distribution obtained by taking Geometric minimum of Rayleigh distributions. Some important properties of this bivariate distribution have been investigated. It is observed that the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters cannot be obtained in closed forms. We propose to use the EM algorithm to compute the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, and it is computationally quite tractable. Based on an extensive simulated study, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is confirmed. We also analyze one real data set for illustrative purposes. Finally, we conclude the paper.

Abstract
In this paper, a modified two-stage procedure in the Autoregressive model AR(1) is considered, which investigates the point and the interval estimation of the mean based on the least-squares estimator. The modified two-stage procedure is as effective as the best fixed-sample size procedure. In this regard, the significant properties of the procedure, including asymptotic risk efficiency, first-order efficiency, consistent, and asymptotic distribution of the mean, are established. Then, a Monte Carlo simulation study is deduced to investigate the modified two-stage procedure. The performance of estimators and confidence intervals are evaluated utilizing a simulation study. Finally, real-time series data is considered to illustrate the applicability of the modified two-stage procedure.

Abstract
Often, in sample surveys, respondents refused to answer some questions of a sensitive nature. Randomized response methods are designed not to reveal respondent confidentiality. In this article, a new quantitative randomized response method is introduced, and by conducting a series of simulation studies, we show that the proposed method is preferable to the cumulative and multiplicative methods. By using unbiased predictors, we estimate the covariance between two sensitive variables. In an experimental study using the proposed method, the average number of cheating and the average daily cigarette consumption of the Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz students are estimated along with their variance, and an estimate for the covariance between them is provided.
