Paying attention to the copula function in order to model the structure of data dependence has become very common in recent decades. Three methods of estimation, moment method, mixture method, and copula moment, are considered to estimate the dependence parameter of copula function in the presence of outlier data. Although the moment method is an old method, sometimes this method leads to inaccurate estimation. Thus, two other moment-based methods are intended to improve that old method. The simulation study results showed that when we use copula moment and mixture moment for estimating the dependence parameter of copula function in the presence of outlier data, the obtained MSEs are smaller. Also, the copula moment method is the best estimate based on MSE. Finally, the obtained numerical results are used in a practical example.

The Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) method is a powerful non-parametric method in the field of time series analysis and has been considered due to its features such as no need to stationarity assumptions or a limit on the number of collected observations. The main purpose of the SSA method is to decompose time series into interpretable components such as trend, oscillating component, and unstructured noise. In recent years, continuous efforts have been made by researchers in various fields of research to improve this method, especially in the field of time series prediction. In this paper, a new method for improving the prediction of singular spectrum analysis using Kalman filter algorithm in structural models is introduced. Then, the performance of this method and some generalized methods of SSA are compared with the basic SSA   using the root mean square error criterion. For this comparison, simulated data from structural models and real data of gas consumption in the UK have been used. The results of this study show that the newly introduced method is more accurate than other methods.

An important issue in many cities is related to crime events, and spatio–temporal Bayesian approach leads to identifying crime patterns and hotspots. In Bayesian analysis of spatio–temporal crime data, there is no closed form for posterior distribution because of its non-Gaussian distribution and existence of latent variables. In this case, we face different challenges such as high dimensional parameters, extensive simulation and time-consuming computation in applying MCMC methods. In this paper, we use INLA to analyze crime data in Colombia. The advantages of this method can be the estimation of criminal events at a specific time and location and exploring unusual patterns in places.

In this article, we consider the estimation of R{r,k}= P(X{r:n1} < Y{k:n2}), when the stress X and strength Y are two independent random variables from inverse Exponential distributions with unknown different scale parameters. R{r,k} is estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method, and also, the asymptotic confidence interval is obtained. Simulation studies and the performance of this model for two real data sets are presented.

In this paper, some reliability concepts have been investigated based on the α-pessimistic and its relationship with the α-cut of a fuzzy number. For this purpose, if the lifetime distribution of the system components is known, using the definition of the scale fuzzy random variable, based on α-pessimistic, some reliability criteria have been investigated. Also, suppose the lifetime distribution of the components is unknown or only the fuzzy observations of the lifetime of the features are available. In that case, the empirical distribution function of the fuzzy data is used to estimate the reliability, and some examples are provided to illustrate the results.

This article considers the stress-strength reliability of a coherent system in the state of stress at the component level. The coherent series, parallel and radar systems are investigated. For 2-component series or parallel systems and radar systems, this reliability based on Exponential distribution is estimated by maximum likelihood, uniformly minimum variance unbiased and Bayes methods. Also, simulation studies have been done to check estimators' performance, and real data are analyzed.

In this paper, fuzzy order statistics are expressed based on the concept of α-value, and some of its applications in reliability have been examined. For this purpose, if the lifetime distribution of the system components is known, some of the reliability criteria of the $i$th order statistic using the definition of a fuzzy random variable based on the α-value have been investigated. Also, if the lifetime distribution of the components is unknown or only the fuzzy observations of the lifetime of the components are available, the empirical distribution function of the fuzzy data is used to estimate the reliability based on ordinal statistics, and examples are provided to illustrate the results.

Maximum entropy copula theory is a combination of copula and entropy theory. This method obtains the maximum entropy distribution of random variables by considering the dependence structure. In this paper, the most entropic copula based on Blest's measure is introduced, and its parameter estimation method is investigated. The simulation results show that if the data has low tail dependence, the proposed distribution performs better compared to the most entropic copula distribution based on Spearman's coefficient. Finally, using the monthly rainfall series data of Zahedan station, the application of this method in the analysis of hydrological data is investigated.

Then, based on the support function, the concepts of variance, covariance, and correlation coefficient between fuzzy random variables are expressed, and their properties are investigated. Then, using the above concepts, the p-order fuzzy autoregressive model is introduced based on fuzzy random variables, and its properties are investigated. Finally, to explain the problem further, examples will be presented and compared with similar models using some goodness of fit criteria.

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.

In the following, while introducing the fuzzy moving average model of order $q$, this model's autocovariance and autocorrelation functions are calculated. Finally, some examples are presented for the obtained results.

This paper introduces the dynamic weighted cumulative residual extropy criterion as a generalization of the weighted cumulative residual extropy criterion. The relationship of the proposed criterion with reliability criteria such as weighted mean residual lifetime, hazard rate function, and second-order conditional moment are studied. Also, characterization properties, upper and lower bounds, inequalities, and stochastic orders based on dynamic weighted cumulative residual extropy and the effect of linear transformation on it will be presented. Then, a non-parametric estimator based on the empirical method for the introduced criterion is given, and its asymptotic properties are studied. Finally, an application of the dynamic weighted cumulative residual extropy in selecting the appropriate data distribution on a real data set is discussed.

The Lee-Carter model is a useful dynamic stochastic model representing the evolution of central mortality rates over time. This model only considers the uncertainty about the coefficient related to the mortality trend over time but not the age-dependent coefficients. This paper proposes a fuzzy extension of the Lee-Carter model that allows quantifying the uncertainty of both kinds of parameters. The variability of the time-dependent index is modeled as a stochastic fuzzy time series. Likewise, the uncertainty of the age-dependent coefficients is quantified using triangular fuzzy numbers. Considering this last hypothesis requires developing and solving a fuzzy regression model. Once the generalization of the desired fuzzy model is introduced, we will show how to fit the logarithm of the central mortality rate in Khuzestan province using by using fuzzy numbers arithmetic during the years 1401-1383 and random fuzzy forecast in the years 1402-1406.

This article introduces a new extension of the log-logistic distribution, and its properties and parameter estimation are studied and analyzed. It is shown that adding a parameter to this distribution makes its shape more symmetric and less skewed as the parameter increases. Unlike the original distribution, the moments of the new distribution and its quantile function always exist. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the reliability measures, such as the hazard rate function, the mean residual life function, and stochastic orderings, are more flexible in the new distribution. Additionally, the parameters of the distribution are estimated using the LLP and ML methods, and the efficiency and consistency of the estimators are evaluated through simulation studies. Finally, the practical applicability of the model is demonstrated by applying the new model to real-world data from airborne equipment and lung cancer patients.

‎Support vector machine (SVM) as a supervised algorithm was initially invented for the binary case‎, ‎then due to its applications‎, ‎multi-class algorithms were also designed and are still being studied as research‎. ‎Recently‎, ‎models have been presented to improve multi-class methods‎. ‎Most of them examine the cases in which the inputs are non-random‎, ‎while in the real world‎, ‎we are faced with uncertain and imprecise data‎. ‎Therefore‎, ‎this paper examines a model in which the inputs are uncertain and the problem's constraints are also probabilistic‎. ‎Using statistical theorems and mathematical expectations‎, ‎the problem's constraints have been removed from the random state‎. ‎Then‎, ‎the moment estimation method has been used to estimate the mathematical expectation‎. ‎Using Monte Carlo simulation‎, ‎synthetic data has been generated and the bootstrap resampling method has been used to provide samples as input to the model and the accuracy of the model has been examined‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎the proposed model was trained with real data and its accuracy was evaluated with statistical indicators‎. ‎The results from simulation and real examples show the superiority of the proposed model over the model based on deterministic inputs‎.

Financial and economic indicators, such as housing prices, often show spatial correlation and heterogeneity. While spatial econometric models effectively address spatial dependency, they face challenges in capturing heterogeneity. Geographically weighted regression is naturally used to model this heterogeneity, but it can become too complex when data show homogeneity across subregions. In this paper, spatially homogeneous subareas are identified through spatial clustering, and Bayesian spatial econometric models are then fitted to each subregion. The integrated nested Laplace approximation method is applied to overcome the computational complexity of posterior inference and the difficulties of MCMC algorithms. The proposed methodology is assessed through a simulation study and applied to analyze housing prices in Mashhad City.

It was proved about 60 years ago that if a continuous random variable X has an increasing failure rate  then its order statistics will also be increasing failure rate, and this problem remained unproved for the discrete case until recently a proof method using an integral inequality was provided. In this article, we present a completely different method to solve this problem.
