An important inequality for distribution of maximum independent random variables is Levy inequality. In this paper, a version of this inequality for weakly negative dependent random variables will be provided. The strong law for dependent random variables has been studied by different authors. In this research, also, the weighted complete convergence for arrays of rowwise negatively dependent random variables that are stochastically bounded will be obtained. complete convergence and strong law for such random variables will result.

In this paper, the quantile function is recalled and some reliability measures are rewritten in terms of quantile function. Next, quantile based dynamic cumulative residual entropy is obtained and some of its properties are presented. Then, some characterization results of uniform, exponential and Pareto distributions based on quantile based dynamic cumulative entropy are provided. A simple estimator is also proposed and its performance is studied for exponential distribution. Finally discussion and results are presented.

Maximum of the Renyi entropy and the Tsallis entropy are generalization of the maximum entropy for a larger class of Shannon entropy. In this paper we introduce the maximum Renyi entropy and some of the attributes of distributions which have maximum Renyi entropy investigated. The form of distributions with maximum Renyi entropy is power so we state some properties of these distributions and we have a new form of the Renyi entropy. After pointing the topics of minimum Renyi divergence, some other points in this relation have been discussed. An another form of Renyi divergence have also obtained. Therefore we discussed some of the economic applications of the maximum entropy. Meanwhile, the review of the Csiszar information measure, the general form of distributions with minimum Renyi divergence have obtained.

Consider a repairable system which starts operating at t=0. Once the system fails, it is immediately replaced by another one of the same type or it is repaired and back to its working functions. In this paper, the system's activity is studied from t>0 for a fixed period of time w. Different replacement policies are considered. In each cases, for a fixed period of time w, the probability model and likelihood function of repair process, say window censored, are obtained. The obtained results depend on the lifetime distribution of the original system, so, expression for the maximum likelihood estimator and Fisher information are derived, by assuming the lifetime follows an exponential distribution.

Prediction of spatial variability is one of the most important issues in the analysis of spatial data. So predictions are usually made by assuming that the data follow a spatial model. In General, the spatial models are the spatial autoregressive (SAR), the conditional autoregressive and the moving average models. In this paper, we estimated parameter of SAR(2,1) model by using maximum likelihood and obtained formulas for predicting in SAR models, including the prediction within the data (interpolation) and outside the data (extrapolation). Finally, we evaluate the prediction methods by using image processing data.

Entropy plays a fundamental role in reliability and system lifetesting areas. In the recent studies, much attentions have been paid to use quantile functions properties and their applications as an alternate approac in distinguishing statistical models and analysis of data. In the present paper, quantile based residual Tsallis entropy is introduced and its properties in continuous models are investigated. Considering distributions of certain lifetime, explicit versions for quantile based residual Tsallis entropy are obtained and their properties monotonicity are studied and characterization based on this entropy is investigated. Also quantile based Tsallis divergence is introduced and quantile based residual Tsallis divergence is obtained. Finally, an estimator for the quantile based residual Tsallis entropy is introduced and its performance is investigate by study simulation.

The complex systems containing of n elements are considered, each having two dependent components. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the mean residual life of such systems with some intact components at time t. Toward this end, the bivariate binomial model and also two different generalizations are described. Finally, some graphical and numerical analyses are provided for mean residual life of such systems under Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern model. 

‎Before analyzing a time series data‎, ‎it is better to verify the dependency of the data‎, ‎because if the data be independent‎, ‎the fitting of the time series model is not efficient‎. ‎In recent years‎, ‎the power divergence statistics used for the goodness of fit test‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce an independence test of time series via power divergence which depends on the parameter λ‎. ‎We obtain asymptotic distribution of the test statistic‎. ‎Also using a simulation study‎, ‎we estimate the error type I and test power for some λ and n‎. ‎Our simulation study shows that for extremely large sample sizes‎, ‎the estimated error type I converges to the nominal α‎, ‎for any λ‎. ‎Furthermore‎, ‎the modified chi-square‎, ‎modified likelihood ratio‎, ‎and Freeman-Tukey test have the most power‎.

In this paper, the lifetime model based on series systems with a random number of components from the family of power series distributions has been considered. First, some basic theoretical results have been obtained, which have been used to optimize the number of components in series systems. The average lifetime of the system, the cost function, and the total time on test have been used as an objective function in optimization. The issue has been investigated in detail when the lifetimes of system components have Weibull distribution, and the number of components has geometric, logarithmic, or zero-truncated Poisson distributions. The results have been given analytically and numerically. Finally, a real data set has been used to illustrate the obtained results.   

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.

‎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.
