Abstract

Science looks to statistics for an objective measure of the strength of evidence in a given body of observations. In this paper, we shall use a criterion defined as a combination of probabilities of weak and strong misleading evidence to do the comparison between only record values and the same number of record values and inter-record times. Also, a simulation is presented to illustrate the results.
