In the early twentieth century, only a few count distributions (binomial and Poisson
distributions) were commonly used in modeling. These distributions fail to model bimodal or …

This paper aims at the identification of black spots for traffic accidents, ie locations with
accident counts beyond what is usual for similar locations, using spatially and temporally …

We consider three classes of inventory systems under long-run average cost:(i) periodic-
review systems with lost sales, positive lead times, and a nonstationary demand process;(ii) …

Classical estimation procedures for the parameters of Weibull distribution are based on
precise data. It is usually assumed that observed data are precise real numbers. However …

This paper describes a study that applies the Poisson-Tweedie distribution in developing
crash frequency models. The Poisson-Tweedie distribution offers a unified framework to …

We propose an integer‐valued stochastic process with conditional marginal distribution
belonging to the class of infinitely divisible discrete probability laws. With this proposal, we …

The staggered (or imbricated) lamellar “brick-and-mortar” nanostructure of nacre endows
nacre with strength and fracture toughness values exceeding by an order of magnitude …

In recent years, many works have addressed the proposal of new probability models by
theoretic and applied reasons. Specifically, mixture models have been indicated to describe …

Frailty models are often used to model heterogeneity in survival analysis. The distribution of
the frailty is generally assumed to be continuous. In some circumstances, it is appropriate to …

We show that the multiplicity distribution of photons produced with enhanced void probability
in inelastic proton-proton collisions at s= 900 GeV, 2.76 TeV, and 7 TeV, measured at …
