Predictive inference for system reliability after common-cause component failures (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., & Coolen-Maturi, T. (2015). Predictive inference for system reliability after common-cause component failures. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 135, 27-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2014.11.005

This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability following common-cause failures of components. It is assumed that a single failure event may lead to simultaneous failure of multiple components. Data consist of frequencie...

Nonparametric predictive pairwise comparison with competing risks (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T. (2014). Nonparametric predictive pairwise comparison with competing risks. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 132, 146-153. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2014.07.014

In reliability, failure data often correspond to competing risks, where several failure modes can cause a unit to fail. This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) for pairwise comparison with competing risks data, assuming that the...

Nonparametric Predictive Inference with Combined Data Under Different Right-Censoring Schemes (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., & Coolen, F. (2015). Nonparametric Predictive Inference with Combined Data Under Different Right-Censoring Schemes. Journal of statistical theory and practice, 9(2), 288-304. https://doi.org/10.1080/15598608.2014.886313

This paper presents nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) for meta-analysis in which multiple independent samples of lifetime data are combined, where different censoring schemes may apply to the different samples. NPI is a frequentist statistical... Read More about Nonparametric Predictive Inference with Combined Data Under Different Right-Censoring Schemes.

Nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability using the survival signature (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen, F., Coolen-Maturi, T., & Al-nefaiee, A. (2014). Nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability using the survival signature. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 228(5), 437-448. https://doi.org/10.1177/1748006x14526390

The survival signature has recently been presented as an attractive concept to aid quantification of system reliability. It has similar characteristics as the system signature, which is well established, but contrary to the latter it is easily applic...

Three-group ROC analysis: a nonparametric predictive approach (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., Elkhafifi, F., & Coolen, F. (2014). Three-group ROC analysis: a nonparametric predictive approach. Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 78, 69-81. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csda.2014.04.005

Measuring the accuracy of diagnostic tests is crucial in many application areas, in particular medicine and health care. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) surface is a useful tool to assess the ability of a diagnostic test to discriminate a...

A New Weighted Rank Coefficient of Concordance. (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T. (2014). A New Weighted Rank Coefficient of Concordance. Journal of Applied Statistics, 41(8), 1721-1745. https://doi.org/10.1080/02664763.2014.889664

There are many situations where n objects are ranked by b>2 independent sources or observers and in which the interest is focused on agreement on the top rankings. Kendall's coefficient of concordance [10 M. Kendall and B. Smith, The problem of m ran... Read More about A New Weighted Rank Coefficient of Concordance..

Nonparametric predictive inference for combined competing risks data (2014)
Journal Article
Coolen-Maturi, T., & Coolen, F. (2014). Nonparametric predictive inference for combined competing risks data. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 126, 87-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ress.2014.01.007

The nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) approach for competing risks data has recently been presented, in particular addressing the question due to which of the competing risks the next unit will fail, and also considering the effects of unobser...
