Generalized Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution

The two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) distribution was originally proposed as a failure time distribution for fatigue failure caused under cyclic loading. BS model is a positively skewed statistical distribution which has received great attention in recent decades. Several extensions of this distribution with various degrees of skewness, kurtosis and modality are considered. In particular, a...

Birnbaum-Saunders nonlinear regression models

We introduce, for the first time, a new class of Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regression models potentially useful in lifetime data analysis. The class generalizes the regression model described by Rieck and Nedelman [1991, A log-linear model for the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, Technometrics, 33, 51–60]. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of the model, and derive clo...
