Statistical reproducibility for pairwise t-tests in pharmaceutical research (2021)
Journal Article
Simkus, A., Coolen, F., Coolen-Maturi, T., Karp, N., & Bendtsen, C. (2022). Statistical reproducibility for pairwise t-tests in pharmaceutical research. Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 31(4), 673-688. https://doi.org/10.1177/09622802211041765

This paper investigates statistical reproducibility of the t-test. We formulate reproducibility as a predictive inference problem and apply the nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) method. Within our research framework, statistical reproducibilit... Read More about Statistical reproducibility for pairwise t-tests in pharmaceutical research.

Reliability analysis for systems based on degradation rates and hard failure thresholds changing with degradation levels (2021)
Journal Article
Chang, M., Huang, X., Coolen, F., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2021). Reliability analysis for systems based on degradation rates and hard failure thresholds changing with degradation levels. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 216, Article 108007. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2021.108007

Degradation-shock failure processes widely exist in practice, and extensive work has been carried out to better describe such processes. In this paper, a new model is developed for reliability analysis of systems subject to dependent degradation-shoc...

Survival Signatures for System Reliability (2021)
Book Chapter
Coolen, F. P., & Coolen‐Maturi, T. (2022). Survival Signatures for System Reliability. In Wiley StatsRef: Statistics Reference Online. Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118445112.stat08331

In system reliability, the structure function models functioning of a system for given states of its components. The survival signature provides a useful summary of the structure function to aid quantification of system reliability with components of...

The survival signature for quantifying system reliability: an introductory overview from practical perspective (2021)
Book Chapter
Coolen, F., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2021). The survival signature for quantifying system reliability: an introductory overview from practical perspective. In C. van Gulijk, & E. Zaitseva (Eds.), Reliability Engineering and Computational Intelligence (23-37). Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-74556-1_2

The structure function describes the functioning of a system dependent on the states of its components, and is central to theory of system reliability. The survival signature is a summary of the structure function which is sufficient to derive the sy...

A monotonicity property of weighted log-rank tests (2021)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., & Coolen, F. (2023). A monotonicity property of weighted log-rank tests. Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 52(7), 2402-2416. https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2021.1952270

The logrank test is a well-known nonparametric test which is often used to compare the survival distributions of two samples including right-censored observations, it is also known as the Mantel-Haenszel test. The Gρ family of tests, generalizes the... Read More about A monotonicity property of weighted log-rank tests.

Imprecise inference based on the log-rank test for accelerated life testing (2021)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., Ahmadini, A., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2021). Imprecise inference based on the log-rank test for accelerated life testing. Metrika, 84, 913-925. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00184-021-00807-4

This paper presents an imprecise predictive inference method for accelerated life testing. The method is largely nonparametric, with a basic parametric function to link different stress levels. The log-rank test is used to provide imprecision for the... Read More about Imprecise inference based on the log-rank test for accelerated life testing.
