In this paper we introduce a new lifetime distribution by compounding exponential and Poisson-Lindley distributions, named exponential Poisson-Lindley distribution. Several properties are derived, such as density, failure rate, mean lifetime, moments, order statistics and Renyi entropy. Furthermore, estimation by maximum likelihood and inference for large sample are discussed. The paper is motivated by two applications to real data sets and we hope that this model be able to attract wider applicability in survival and reliability.

For survival data with high-dimensional covariates, results generated in the analysis of a single dataset are often unsatisfactory because of the small sample size. Integrative analysis pools raw data from multiple independent studies with comparable designs, effectively increases sample size, and has better performance than meta-analysis and single-dataset analysis. In this study, we conduct integrative analysis of survival data under the accelerated failure time (AFT) model. The sparsity structures of multiple datasets are described using the homogeneity and heterogeneity models. For variable selection under the homogeneity model, we adopt group penalization approaches. For variable selection under the heterogeneity model, we use composite penalization and sparse group penalization approaches. As a major advancement from the existing studies, the asymptotic selection and estimation properties are rigorously established. Simulation study is conducted to compare different penalization methods and against alternatives. We also analyze four lung cancer prognosis datasets with gene expression measurements.
In this article, a generalized inverse xgamma distribution (GIXGD) has been introduced as the generalized version of the inverse xgamma distribution. The proposed model exhibits the pattern of non-monotone hazard rate and belongs to family of positiv ely skewed models. The explicit expressions of some distributional properties, such as, moments, inverse moments, conditional moments, mean deviation, quantile function have been derived. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure has been used to estimate the unknown model parameters as well as survival characteristics of GIXGD. The practical applicability of the proposed model has been illustrated through a survival data of guinea pigs.

We consider the problem of estimating the rate of defects (mean number of defects per item), given the counts of defects detected by two independent imperfect inspectors on one sample of items. In contrast with the setting for the well-known method o f Capture-Recapture, we {it{do not}} have information regarding the number of defects jointly detected by {it{both}} inspectors. We solve this problem by constructing two types of estimators - a simple moment-type estimator, and a complicated maximum-likelihood estimator. The performance of these estimators is studied analytically and by means of simulations. It is shown that the maximum-likelihood estimator is superior to the moment-type estimator. A systematic comparison with the Capture-Recapture method is also made.

The linear exponential distribution is a generalization of the exponential and Rayleigh distributions. This distribution is one of the best models to fit data with increasing failure rate (IFR). But it does not provide a reasonable fit for modeling d ata with decreasing failure rate (DFR) and bathtub shaped failure rate (BTFR). To overcome this drawback, we propose a new record-based transmuted generalized linear exponential (RTGLE) distribution by using the technique of Balakrishnan and He (2021). The family of RTGLE distributions is more flexible to fit the data sets with IFR, DFR, and BTFR, and also generalizes several well-known models as well as some new record-based transmuted models. This paper aims to study the statistical properties of RTGLE distribution, like, the shape of the probability density function and hazard function, quantile function and its applications, moments and its generating function, order and record statistics, Renyi entropy. The maximum likelihood estimators, least squares and weighted least squares estimators, Anderson-Darling estimators, Cramer-von Mises estimators of the unknown parameters are constructed and their biases and mean squared errors are reported via Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally, the real data set based on failure time illustrates the goodness of fit and applicability of the proposed distribution; hence, suitable recommendations are forwarded.
The mixture cure rate model is the most commonly used cure rate model in the literature. In the context of mixture cure rate model, the standard approach to model the effect of covariates on the cured or uncured probability is to use a logistic funct ion. This readily implies that the boundary classifying the cured and uncured subjects is linear. In this paper, we propose a new mixture cure rate model based on interval censored data that uses the support vector machine (SVM) to model the effect of covariates on the uncured or the cured probability (i.e., on the incidence part of the model). Our proposed model inherits the features of the SVM and provides flexibility to capture classification boundaries that are non-linear and more complex. Furthermore, the new model can be used to model the effect of covariates on the incidence part when the dimension of covariates is high. The latency part is modeled by a proportional hazards structure. We develop an estimation procedure based on the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the cured/uncured probability and the latency model parameters. Our simulation study results show that the proposed model performs better in capturing complex classification boundaries when compared to the existing logistic regression based mixture cure rate model. We also show that our models ability to capture complex classification boundaries improve the estimation results corresponding to the latency parameters. For illustrative purpose, we present our analysis by applying the proposed methodology to an interval censored data on smoking cessation.
