چکیده

In this article we study some properties of a new family of distributions, namely Exponentiated Exponential distribution, discussed in Gupta, Gupta, and Gupta (1998). The Exponentiated Exponential family has two parameters (scale and shape) similar to a Weibull or a gamma family. It is observed that many properties of this new family are quite similar to those of a Weibull or a gamma family, therefore this distribution can be used as a possible alternative to a Weibull or a gamma distribution. We present two real life data sets, where it is observed that in one data set exponentiated exponential distribution has a better fit compared to Weibull or gamma distribution and in the other data set Weibull has a better fit than exponentiated exponential or gamma distribution. Some numerical experiments are performed to see how the maximum likelihood estimators and their asymptotic results work for finite sample sizes.

The Gamma-Exponentiated Weibull Distribution

We study the gamma-exponentiated Weibull distribution which includes as special cases several models such as the exponential, Weibull, exponentiatedWeibull, gamma-exponentiated exponential and exponentiated exponential distributions. This new distribution might be useful for failure time data analysis. We demonstrate that its density function is an infinite linear combination of Weibull densiti...

Exponentiated extended Weibull - power series class of distributions

In this paper, we introduce a new class of distributions by compounding the exponentiated extended Weibull family and power series family. This distribution contains several lifetime models such as the complementary extended Weibull-power series, generalized exponential-power series, generalized linear failure rate-power series, exponentiated Weibull-power series, generalized modified Weibull-p...

Diverse Applications of Two Weibull ExtensionsGovind

In this talk we review several applications of two Weibull extensions in statistical theory and applied research. The two extensions are the generalized Weibull and the exponentiated Weibull families, and the applications are in the areas of reliability and survival analysis, exteme value analysis, isotones and distributional approximations. 1 The Generalized Weibull Family The generalized Weib...
