Judgment post stratification is a sampling strategy which uses ranking information to give more efficient statistical inference than simple random sampling. In this paper, we introduce a new mean estimator for judgment post stratification. The estimator is obtained by using ordering observations in post strata. Our simulation results indicate that the new estimator performs better than its leading competitors in the literature.

In weighted sampling as a generalization of random sampling, every observation, y, is recorded with probably proportional to a non-negative function of y. In this paper, the normal regression model is investigated under the weighted sampling for a common weight function. Parameters of the model are estimated for known and unknown weight parameters. Using simulation, efficiency of estimators is studied when they have not closed forms. As an application, the data of number of visited  patients by specialist doctors in Social Security Organization of Ahvaz in Iran (SSOAI) are analyzed.

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.

In this paper, we introduce a family of bivariate generalized Gompertz-power series distributions. This new class of bivariate distributions contains several models such as: bivariate generalized Gompertz -geometric, -Poisson, - binomial, -logarithmic, -negative binomial and bivariate generalized exponental-power series distributions as special cases. We express the method of construction and derive different properties of the proposed class of distributions. The method of maximum likelihood and EM algorithm are used for estimating the model parameters. Finally, we illustrate the usefulness of the new distributions by means of application to real data sets.

In this paper, the maximum liklihood estimation, unbiased estimations with minimum variance, percentile estimation, best percentile estimation single-observation estimation and the best percentile estimation two-observations in class which are based on order statistics are calculated in two sections for probability density and cumulative distribution functions of the beta Weibull geometric distribution, specially with bathtub-shaped and unimodal failure rate which are useful for modeling of data related to reliability and lifetime. Furthermore, through the simulation method of Monte Carlo and calculation of average square of errors of estimators, they are subjected to comparisons ultimately, the desirable estimator in each section is determined.

Two stage linear models are applicable when the data of some dependent and independent variables was obtained at to time stage, and we want to use from the data of two stage for linear model fitting. In this article we introduce multistage and, as a special case, two-stage linear models. Then we obtain the parameter estimation by two methods and show that the estimation are the same for methods. Since the expression of estimations are very complicated we give some R program for computing the parameter estimation of two-stage linear models, then show its application in an illustrative example. Also we propose a very simple computational methods for parameter estimation which did not need to complicated expression and give and R program for it.

In this article, with the help of exponentiated-G distribution, we obtain extensions for the Probability density function and Cumulative distribution function, moments and moment generating functions, mean deviation, Racute{e}nyi and Shannon entropies and order Statistics of this family of distributions. We use maximum liklihood method of estimate the parameters and with the help of a real data set, we show the Risti$acute{c}-Balakrishnan-G family of distributions is a proper model for lifetime distribution.

In order to construct the asymmetric models and analyzing data set with asymmetric properties, an useful approach is the weighted model. In this paper, a new class of skew-Laplace distributions is introduced by considering a two-parameter weight function which is appropriate to asymmetric and multimodal data sets. Also, some properties of the new distribution namely skewness and kurtosis coefficients, moment generating function, etc are studied. Finally, The practical utility of the methodology is illustrated through a real data collection.

In this study, the E-Bayesian and hierarchical Bayesian for stress-strength, when X and Y are two independent Rayleigh distributions with different parameters were estimated based on the LINEX loss function. These methods were compared with each other and with the Bayesian estimator using Monte Carlo simulation and two real data sets.

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.
