Kernel Density Estimation of Reliability With Applications to Extreme Value Distribution

Miladinovic, Branko 16 October 2008 (has links)
In the present study, we investigate kernel density estimation (KDE) and its application to the Gumbel probability distribution. We introduce the basic concepts of reliability analysis and estimation in ordinary and Bayesian settings. The robustness of top three kernels used in KDE with respect to three different optimal bandwidths is presented. The parametric, Bayesian, and empirical Bayes estimates of the reliability, failure rate, and cumulative failure rate functions under the Gumbel failure model are derived and compared with the kernel density estimates. We also introduce the concept of target time subject to obtaining a specified reliability. A comparison of the Bayes estimates of the Gumbel reliability function under six different priors, including kernel density prior, is performed. A comparison of the maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayes estimates of the target time under desired reliability using the Jeffrey's non-informative prior and square error loss function is studied. In order to determine which of the two different loss functions provides a better estimate of the location parameter for the Gumbel probability distribution, we study the performance of four criteria, including the non-parametric kernel density criterion. Finally, we apply both KDE and the Gumbel probability distribution in modeling the annual extreme stream flow of the Hillsborough River, FL. We use the jackknife procedure to improve ML parameter estimates. We model quantile and return period functions both parametrically and using KDE, and show that KDE provides a better fit in the tails.

A case study on building NPS into production line

Lai, Yung-jin 30 July 2006 (has links)
The customer's taste is with the transition with constant time ¡A space¡A as the order pours into constantly¡A what an attitude the manufacturing plant is!¡A the flexible company quick in response turn into the existence ways of enterprises in the future¡A and under facing and producing state that must be expanded¡A how to set up production line and efficient duplicating the productive attitude fast fast¡A is it reach quantity produce quality that customer want fast ¡A must is it is it waste carry on procedure transformation to reduce to come through NPS (New Production Skill ) to come. This research is mainly to visit the arrangement which refers to the theory of relevant documents to review and study through the executive inside the company¡A to understand the company understand the themes studied from the doing in the test amount factor of expanding the factory¡A set up NPS to be flat to take production line while being accurate ¡A utilize relevant step in accordance with follow ¡A make similar industry to establish NPS production line have one procedure way in accordance with following fast future.
