The nature of the response of strongly yielding systems subjected to random excitation, is examined. Special attention is given to the drift response, defined as the sum of yield increments associated with inelastic response. Based on the properties of discrete Markov process models of the yield increment process, it is suggested that for many cases of practical interest, the drift can be considered as a Brownian motion. The approximate Gaussian distribution and the linearly divergent mean square value of the process, as well as an expression for the probability distribution of the peak drift response, are obtained. The validation of these properties is accomplished by means of a Monte Carlo simulation study.

The paper aimed to investigate the performance of some parametric survivor function estimators based on Bayesian methodology with respect to bias and efficiency. A simulation was conducted based on Mote Carlo experiments with different sample sizes different (10, 30, 50, 75, 100). The bias and variance of mean square Error V(MSE) were selected as the basis of comparison. The methods of estimation used in this study are Maximum Likelihood, Bayesian with exponential as prior distribution and Bayesian with gamma as prior distribution. A Monte Carlo Simulation study showed that the Bayesian method with gamma as prior distribution was the best performance than the other methods. The study recommended that.

This paper aims to handle outlier data for Frechet distribution. This study focused on two ways to deal with outliers. The rst way is to censor the ob- servation with the same percentage of outlier data. The second way is to trim outlier observations. A Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to compare these ways in terms of estimate average, relative bias, and root mean square error (RMSE) using Mathematica-10.
