Discrete stochastic models are tools that allow us to understand, control, and optimize
engineering systems and processes. This book provides real-life examples and illustrations …

Asking direct questions in face to face surveys about sensitive traits is an intricate issue. One
of the solutions to this issue is the randomized response technique (RRT). Being the most …

This paper has great potential for estimating population proportion who possess stigmatized
character by using Negative binomial distribution as a randomization device. The properties …

This paper deals with the reduction of evasive answering bias in paired comparisons studies
by providing a masking mechanism to the judges. Specifically, the Warner masking design is …

Recent statistical work has focused a lot on order k variations of discrete probability
distributions and related generalizations. By referring to the generalized Yule distribution as …

In this article, we improvise Singh and Grewal and Hussain et al. techniques by introducing
a new two-stage randomization response process. Using the proposed new technique, we …

In this article, we propose a two folded approach for estimation of the population proportion
of a sensitive attribute. The rationale of proposed technique is to give respondents choice if …

In this study, efficient Bayes estimators of sensitive proportion are proposed. It is
documented that indirect reports increase variances of the estimates. To counteract this …

Upper and lower bounds are derived for the modes of the negative binomial distribution of
order k, type I, with parameter vector (r, p). The bounds are employed to establish an explicit …

Abstract Kumar and Harisankar (Commun. Statist.-Theor. Meth., 2020) obtain a generalized
version of Yule distribution through the name 'doubly generalized Yule distribution …
