Recently, Surles and Padgett (Lifetime Data Anal., 187–200, 7, 2001) introduced two-
parameter Burr Type X distribution, which can also be described as generalized Rayleigh …

Introduction: Mathematicians and statisticians have made significant academic progress on
the subject of distribution theory in the last two decades, and this area of study is becoming …

The subject of this book is cross-disciplinary. Sigmoid functions present interesting material
both for fundamental as well as application-driven research. We have tried to give the …

The art of parameter (s) induction to the baseline distribution has received a great deal of
attention in recent years. The induction of one or more additional shape parameter (s) to the …

Dear Reader, imagine that you are a participant of Olympic Games, say, you are one of n
competitors in high-jumping. Before the start the future results of participants can be …

In this article, the “truncated-composed” scheme was applied to the Burr X distribution to
motivate a new family of univariate continuous-type distributions, called the truncated Burr X …

In this article, we consider the estimation of P [Y< X], when Y and X are two independent
scaled Burr Type X distribution having the same scale parameters. The maximum likelihood …

We develop a new continuous distribution called the beta-Burr type X distribution that
extends the Burr type X distribution. The properties provide a comprehensive mathematical …

The exponential and Rayleigh are the two most commonly used distributions for analyzing
lifetime data. These distributions have several desirable properties and nice physical …

A review is given of the exponentiated Weibull distribution, the first generalization of the two-
parameter Weibull distribution to accommodate nonmonotone hazard rates. The properties …
