Statistical Modeling and Robust Interference for One-shot Devices offers a comprehensive investigation on robust techniques for one-shot devices under accelerated life tests. With numerous examples, case studies, and included R codes in each chapter, this book helps readers implement their own codes, use them in proposed examples, and conduct their own research on one-shot device testing data. Researchers, mathematicians, engineers, and students working on accelerated life testing data analysis and robust methodologies will surely find this to be a welcomed resource.The study of one-shot devices such as automobile airbags, fire extinguishers, and antigen tests is rapidly becoming an important problem in the area of reliability engineering. These devices, which get destroyed or must be rebuilt after use, are particular cases of extreme censoring, which makes the problem of estimating their reliability and lifetime challenging. As classical statistical and inferential methods do not consider the issue of robustness, this book is a welcomed addition to the conversation.

Visualizing More Quaternions is a sequel to Dr. Andrew J. Hanson’s first book, Visualizing Quaternions, which appeared in 2006. This new volume develops and extends concepts that have attracted the author’s attention in the intervening 18 years, providing new insights into existing scholarship, and detailing results from Dr. Hanson’s own published and unpublished investigations relating to quaternion applications. Among the topics covered are the introduction of new approaches to depicting quaternions and their properties, applications of quaternion methods to cloud matching, including both orthographic and perspective projection problems, and orientation feature analysis for proteomics and bioinformatics. The quaternion adjugate variables are introduced to embody the nontrivial quaternion topology on the three-sphere and incorporate it into machine learning tasks. Other subjects include quaternion applications to a wide variety of problems in physics, including quantum computing, complexified quaternions in special relativity, and a detailed study of the Kleinian “ADE”discrete groups of the ordinary two-sphere. Quaternion geometry is also incorporated into the isometric embedding of the Eguchi–Hanson gravitational instanton corresponding to the k = 1 Kleinian cyclic group. Visualizing More Quaternions endeavors to explore novel ways of thinking about challenging problems that are relevant to a broad audience involved in a wide variety of scientific disciplines.

Picture Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications in Decision Making Problems provides methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of picture fuzzy operators and their applications in scientific research and real-world engineering problems. In this book, picture fuzzy sets are investigated, and different types of operators are defined to solve a number of important decision-making and optimization problems. The hybrid operator on picture fuzzy set based on the combination of picture fuzzy weighted averaging operators and picture fuzzy weighted geometric operators is developed and named Hybrid Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-PFWAG) operator. In addition, another operator is developed for interval-valued picture fuzzy environment, which is named Hybrid Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-IVPFWAG) operator. These two operators are then demonstrated as solutions to Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problems. The picture fuzzy soft weighted aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) are defined, and these are applied to develop a multi-criteria group decision making system.
