Nonparametric Predictive Inference

• Frank P. A. Coolen
• International Encyclopedia of Statistical Science
• 2011

Nonparametric predictive inference (NPI) is a statistical method based on Hill’s assumption A(n) [13], which gives a direct conditional probability for a future observable random quantity,… (More)

Generalizing the signature to systems with multiple types of components

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Tahani Coolen-Maturi
• 2012

The concept of signature was introduced to simplify quantification of reliability for coherent systems and networks consisting of a single type of components, and for comparison of such systems’… (More)

On Nonparametric Predictive Inference and Objective Bayesianism

• Frank P. A. Coolen
• Journal of Logic, Language and Information
• 2006

This paper consists of three main parts. First, we give an introduction to Hill’s assumption A(n) and to theory of interval probability, and an overview of recently developed theory and methods for… (More)

Learning from multinomial data: a nonparametric predictive alternative to the Imprecise Dirichlet Model

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Thomas Augustin
• ISIPTA
• 2005

A new model for learning from multinomial data has recently been developed, giving predictive inferences in the form of lower and upper probabilities for a future observation. Apart from the past… (More)

A nonparametric predictive alternative to the Imprecise Dirichlet Model: The case of a known number of categories

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Thomas Augustin
• Int. J. Approx. Reasoning
• 2009

Nonparametric Predictive Inference (NPI) is a general methodology to learn from data in the absence of prior knowledge and without adding unjustified assumptions. This paper develops NPI for… (More)

Nonparametric predictive inference in reliability

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Pauline Coolen-Schrijner, Ke-Jian Yan
• Rel. Eng. & Sys. Safety

Nonparametric predictive inference for system reliability using the survival signature

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Tahani Coolen-Maturi, Abdullah H. Al-nefaiee
• 2014

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… (More)

Adaptive age replacement strategies based on nonparametric predictive inference

• Pauline Coolen-Schrijner, Frank P. A. Coolen
• 2004

Nonparametric Predictive Comparison of Two Groups of Lifetime Data.

• Frank P. A. Coolen, Ke-Jian Yan
• ISIPTA
• 2003

We present the application of a recently introduced nonparametric predictive inferential method to compare two groups of data, consisting of observed event times and right-censoring times. Comparison… (More)

Nonparametric predictive inference for combined competing risks data

• Tahani Coolen-Maturi, Frank P. A. Coolen
• Rel. Eng. & Sys. Safety
• 2014

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… (More)
