Reliability of an engineering system characterized by hot and cold standby: A compound boundary value problem [PDF]
We analyse the reliability (survival function) of a duplex system characterized by hot standby and sustained by an auxiliary unit in cold standby. The entire system is attended by two heterogeneous repairmen.

Analysis of survival data with cross-effects of survival functions [PDF]
We present a model and semiparametric estimation procedures for analysis of survival data with cross-effects (CE) of survival functions. Finite sample properties of the estimators are analyzed by simulation. A goodness-of-fit test for the proportional hazards model against the CE model is proposed. The well known data concerning effects of chemotherapy

On the Generalized Odd Transmuted Two-Sided Class of Distributions
In this paper, a general class of two-sided lifetime distributions is introduced via odd ratio function, the well-known concept in survival analysis and reliability engineering.

We present the truncated Lindley-G (TLG) model, a novel class of probability distributions with an additional shape parameter, by composing a unit distribution called the truncated Lindley distribution with a parent distribution function G(x).

Comparison of nonparametric estimates of the survival functions
The article compares three types of estimates: exponential, multiplying and power structures for the survival function of three random censoring observations on the right. It was previously established that all these three estimates are equivalent with a

A New Lifetime Distribution with Decreasing and Upside-Down Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate Function
We introduce a new lifetime distribution, called the alpha-power transformed Lomax (APTL) distribution which generalizes the Lomax distribution to provide better fits than the Lomax distribution and some of its known generalizations.

GAPDH in neuroblastoma: Functions in metabolism and survival
Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of neural crest cells. It develops most frequently in nerve cells around the adrenal gland, although other locations are possible. Neuroblastomas rely on glycolysis as a source of energy and metabolites, and the enzymes that catalyze glycolysis are potential therapeutic targets for neuroblastoma.

The study addresses two questions that are under debate in the literature and exemplifies their examination in alpine ski racing. Firstly, are successful athletes the product of a long-term continuous intervention and/or socialization process or do they ...
