The Subexponential Product Convolution of Two Weibull-type Distributions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let X1 and X2 be two independent and nonnegative random variables with distributions F1 and F2, respectively. This paper proves that if both F1 and F2 are of Weibull type and fulfill certain easily verifiable conditions, then the distribution of the product X1 X2, called the product convolution of F1 and F2, belongs to the class S and, hence, is subexponential. 2000 Mathematics subject classification: primary 60E05; secondary 62E20.

Recurrence Relations for Moment Generating Functions of Generalized Order Statistics Based on Doubly Truncated Class of Distributions
In this paper, we derived recurrence relations for joint moment generating functions of nonadjacent generalized order statistics (GOS) of random samples drawn from doubly truncated class of continuous distributions. Recurrence relations for joint moments of nonadjacent GOS (ordinary order statistics (OOS) and k-upper records (k-RVs) as special cases) are obtained. Single and product moment gene...
متن کاملEvaluation of estimation methods for parameters of the probability functions in tree diameter distribution modeling
One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...
متن کاملThe Finite-time Ruin Probability with Dependent Insurance and Financial Risks
Consider a discrete-time insurance risk model. Within period i, the net insurance loss is denoted by a real-valued random variableXi . The insurer makes both risk-free and risky investments, leading to an overall stochastic discount factor Yi from time i to time i − 1. Assume that (Xi, Yi), i ∈ N, form a sequence of independent and identically distributed random pairs following a common bivaria...
متن کاملComparing the Shape Parameters of Two Weibull Distributions Using Records: A Generalized Inference
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. For inference about two Weibull distributions using records, the shape parameters of the distributions are usually considered equal. However, there is not an appropriate method for comparing the shape parameters in the literature. Therefore, comparing the shape parameters of two Weibull distributions is very important. I...
متن کاملNew Limit Formulas for the Convolution of a Function with a Measure and Their Applications
Asymptotic behavior of a convolution of a functionwith ameasure is investigated. Our results give conditions which ensure that the exact rate of the convolution function can be determined using a positive weight function related to the given function and measure. Many earlier related results are included and generalized. Our new limit formulas are applicable to subexponential functions, to tail...
