## Abstract Leftβcensored data often arise in environmental contexts with one or more detection limits, DLs. Estimators of the parameters are derived for leftβcensored data having two detection limits: DL~1~ and DL~2~ assuming an underlying normal distribution. Two different approaches for calculat

I n this paper we consider a cell population such 88 bacteria consisting of two t y p of cells, mutant and nonmutant. Under the mutation and homogeneous pure birth promme%, this paper derives a maximum likelihood estimation procedure for estimating mutation rate and birth rate. The method is applied
For \(k\) normal populations with unknown means \(\mu_{i}\) and unknown variances \(\sigma_{t}^{2}\), \(i=1, \ldots, k\), assume that there are some order restrictions among the means and variances, respectively, for example, simple order restrictions: \(\mu_{1} \leqslant \mu_{2} \leqslant \cdots \l
When experiments are conducted there is always a chance of the occurrence of large measurement errors (outliers). Common identification methods like generalized least squares, maximum likelihood etc. may not converge in these situations due to the presence of oufliers. Here we present a method for t
