The objective of this research is to propose the estimator of the population mean for incomplete data by using information of simple linear relationship model in the data set. In addition, the factorization of the likelihood function is created to derive the maximum likelihood estimator for the population mean. The simulation study was conducted for…

The ecosystems and landscape patterns in Lake Victoria basin are increasingly being modified by changes in land use/land cover. Understanding dynamics of these changes is essential for appropriate planning. This study evaluated changes in landscape environment, of the lakeside counties of the Kenyan Lake Victoria basin, which have occurred over a forty-year period (1978-2018) and…

This paper investigates the methods of optimal design construction for step-stress accelerated life testing (ALT) when a Cox’s hazards model is adopted with either a linear or a quadratic baseline hazard function. We discuss multiple step-stress plans for time-censored ALT experiments. The maximum likelihood method is utilized for estimating the model parameters. The information matrices…

In this paper, Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detection of spatially distributed targets embedded in compound Gaussian clutter with Inverse Gamma texture is addressed. By taking into account the fact that clutter parameters are unknown in practical situations, we propose mean level based on Lookup Tables detectors, that operate as a two-step approach, which consists…
