This paper presents a new class of multivariate distributions with Pareto where dependence among the components is characterized by a latent random variable. The new class includes several multivariate and bivariate models of Marshall and Olkin type. It is found the bivariate distribution with Pareto is positively quadrant dependent and its mixture. Some important structural properties of the bivariate distributions with Pareto are discussed. The distribution of minimum in a competing risk Pareto model is derived.

This paper deals with developing a general class of accelerated sequential procedures and obtaining the associated second-order approximations for the expected sample size and 'regret' (difference between the risks of the proposed accelerated sequential procedure and the optimum fixed sample size procedure) function. We establish that the estimation problems based on various lifetime distributions can be tackled with the help of the proposed class of accelerated sequential procedures. Extensive simulation analysis is presented in support of the accuracy of our proposed methodology using the Pareto distribution and a real data set on carbon fibers is also analyzed to demonstrate the practical utility. We also provide the brief details of some other inferential problems which can be seen as the applications of the proposed class of accelerated sequential procedures.
