We proposed two robust confidence interval estimators, namely, the median interquartile range confidence interval (MDIQR) and the trimean interquartile range confidence interval (TRIQR) for the population mean (µ) as an alternative to the classical confidence interval. The proposed methods are based on the asymptotic normal theorem (ANT) for the sample median (MD) and the sample…

To reduce the risk of accidental system shutdowns, we propose to control system developers (supervisor, SCADA) a prediction tool to determine the occurrence date of an imminent failure event. The existing approaches report the rate of occurrence of a future failure event (stochastic method), but do not provide an estimation date of its occurrence. The…
