Birnbaum and Saunders introduced a two‐parameter lifetime distribution to model the
fatigue life of a metal, subject to cyclic stress. Since then, extensive work has been done on …

A knowledge of wind speed and wind power probability distributions is important for several
reasons such as assessing wind resources, planning wind farms and minimizing the …

Ageing and dependence are two important characteristics in reliability and survival analysis,
and they affect significantly the decision people make with regard to maintenance …

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 a new probability distribution supported on unit interval is introduced. This
distribution arises from the Birnbaum and Saunders distribution. It depends on two …

Time to failure due to fatigue is one of the common quality characteristics in material
engineering applications. In this article, acceptance sampling plans are developed for the …

In this paper, we discuss the shape of the hazard function of Birnbaum–Saunders
distribution. Specifically, we establish that the hazard function of Birnbaum–Saunders …

Abstract The generalized Birnbaum‐Saunders (GBS) distribution is a new class of positively
skewed models with lighter and heavier tails than the traditional Birnbaum‐Saunders (BS) …

We develop nearly unbiased estimators for the two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders
distribution [Birnbaum, ZW, Saunders, SC, 1969a. A new family of life distributions. J. Appl …

In this paper, we discuss the class of generalized Birnbaum–Saunders distributions, which is
a very flexible family suitable for modeling lifetime data as it allows for different degrees of …
