Generalizing distributions is an old practice and has ever been considered as precious as
many other practical problems in statistics. It simply started with defining different …

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 …

A new three-parameter exponential-type family of distributions which can be used in
modeling survival data, reliability problems and fatigue life studies is introduced. Its failure …

Reliability theory has taken rapid strides in the last four decades to become an independent
discipline that influences our daily lives and schedules through our dependence on good …

In this paper we introduce the Weibull power series (WPS) class of distributions which is
obtained by compounding Weibull and power series distributions, where the compounding …

Abstract The paper by Kumaraswamy (Journal of Hydrology 46 (1980) 79–88) introduced a
probability distribution for double bounded random processes which has considerable …

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 …

The modeling and analysis of lifetimes is an important aspect of statistical work in a wide
variety of scientific and technological fields. For the first time, the called Kumaraswamy …

We introduce a general method for obtaining more flexible new distributions by
compounding the extended Weibull and power series distributions. The compounding …

A general class of univariate distributions generated by beta random variables, proposed by
Eugene et al.(2002) and Jones (2009), has been discussed for many authors. In this paper …
