This book collects select contributions presented at the International Conference on Importance of Statistics in Global Emerging (ISGES 2020) held at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Pune, Maharashtra, India, from 24 January 2020. It discusses recent developments in several areas of statistics with applications of a wide range of key topics, including small area estimation techniques, Bayesian models for small areas, ranked set sampling, fuzzy supply chain, probabilistic supply chain models, dynamic Gaussian process models, grey relational analysis and multi-item inventory models, and more. The possible use of other models, including generalized Lindley shared frailty models, Benktander Gibrat risk model, decision-consistent randomization method for SMART designs and different reliability models are also discussed. This book includes detailed worked examples and case studies that illustrate the applications of recently developed statistical methods, making it a valuable resource for applied statisticians, students, research project leaders and practitioners from various marginal disciplines and interdisciplinary research.

Discusses the recently developed statistical methodologies and application in diversified disciplines Highlights applications of a wide range of key topics in statistics Contains contributions from leading experts in applied statistics
