Introducing Kth-order equilibrium Lindley distribution: Theory and application
This paper introduces the Kth-order Equilibrium Lindley Distribution (KELD), a new two-parameter probability model developed by applying the $Kth-order equilibrium transformation to the Lindley distribution. The motivation for proposing this model arises from the need for more flexible lifetime distributions capable of representing various hazard rate behaviors such as increasing, decreasing, and bathtub shaped (initially […]
The Harris extended power Lindley distribution: Properties, estimation, and real-world applications
This paper investigates properties of a new parametric distribution generated by the Harris extended family of distributions based on the power Lindley distribution. The probability density function can be decreased, unimodal, and right-skewed shaped. Some various statistical properties are derived including moments, generating function, incomplete moments, moment generating function, lower and upper incomplete moments, and […]
Bayesian and non-Bayesian analysis of the novel unit inverse exponentiated Lomax distribution using progressive censoring schemes with optimal scheme and data application
This article presents a novel unit distribution called the unit inverse exponentiated Lomax distribution. Some of its key characteristics are carefully examined. The distribution parameters are estimated using both traditional and Bayesian approaches, taking into account the progressive Type II censoring schemes. Using the symmetric loss function and the Markov chain Monte Carlo technique, the […]
On estimation of Tsallis entropy for exponentially distributed doubly type-II censored sample
Tsallis entropy, as a generalized measure of uncertainty, plays a vital role in characterizing complex systems exhibiting long-range dependence and non-extensive behaviour. We discuss the problem of affine equivariant estimation of Tsallis entropy for a two-parameter exponentially distributed doubly Type-II censored sample. The minimum risk equivariant estimator (MREE) is derived for the parametric function associated […]
Improved estimation based on ranked set sampling for the Chris-Jerry distribution with application to engineering data
A less expensive and time-consuming option to simple random sampling (SRS) is the ranked set (RSS). Frequently, the RSS method produces more accurate estimators than those employed by SRS. The Chris-Jerry distribution (C-JD) is a new heavy-tailed distribution that helps model many data in human endeavors. The flexibility of the C-JD in capturing various hazard […]
The Forensic Epigenetic Landscape: Current Applications, Persistent Challenges, and Future Horizons
The fundamentals of modern forensic science rely on the analysis of short tandem repeats (STRs) to determine individual identity .Although highly effective in identification, this methodology is limited in nature and does not provide any information regarding the donor’s age, tissue origin, or environmental exposure. This critical gap in investigative information has led to the […]
Ensuring Meat Authenticity: Real-Time PCR and Thiamine as Tools for Detecting Adulteration
Meat adulteration is a common problem that can lead to moral loss, religious infractions, and major public health hazards. Technologies for rapid detection are essential for monitoring this problem. This article explores the economic issue of food adulteration, particularly in meat products, and the detection methods for beef and pork adulteration, focusing on thiamine content […]
Teratogenicity of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (2-Butanone) on the Development of Albino Rat Newborns
Several experimental studies reported the cellular toxicity of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in all organelles and increase in the rate of mortality at higher doses with long times. Thus, in this study, we have evaluated the effect of perinatal exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) on the histological, biochemical, and behavioral development of newborn mice. […]
Oxidative Stress Management in Plants: A Balancing Act between Antioxidants and Redox Signaling
Plants exist in environments that continually test their ability to cope with various biotic and abiotic stressors. Many of these challenges lead to the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing a precarious cellular situation termed oxidative stress. Although unchecked ROS can inflict severe damage on cellular components, it is now clear that low […]
Crosstalk Between Abiotic and Biotic Stress Responses in Plants: Mechanisms, Outcomes, and Implications for Crop Improvement
Plants growing under field conditions often face multiple stress factors concurrently. These can include extremes of drought, salinity, or temperature coupled with attacks from pathogens or herbivores. Understanding how plants perceive, integrate, and respond to overlapping abiotic and biotic challenges is critical for guiding future crop improvement efforts. Complex signaling networks, involving phytohormones, transcriptional reprogramming, […]
