Summary:
A class of selection procedures for selecting the least dispersive distribution from k available distributions has been proposed. This problem finds applications in reliability and engineering. In engineering, for example, the goal of the experimenter is to select a firm whose components have least dispersive distribution from the available set of competing firms manufacturing the components of the desired specifications meant for the same purpose. The proposed procedures can be used even when the underlying distributions belong to different families. Applications of the proposed selection procedures are discussed by taking exponential, gamma and Lehmann type distributions. Performance of the proposed selection procedures is assessed through simulation study. Implementation of the proposed selection procedure is illustrated through an example.
