Abstract
A probabilistic model for the tuft-breakage process has been proposed by Kambo and Aziz. Estimation of the parameters and the application of the model are demonstrated in this study. The parameters of the model are estimated by a linearization method. To do this, two modes of tuft breakage have been studied to determine which one is better suited to explain the observed data. The results show that the model fits very well to the data on tuft breakage for two types of cotton.
