In this study, we introduce a new familyof models for lifetime data called generalized extended Weibullpower series family of distributions by compoundinggeneralizedextended Weibull distributions and power series distributions. The compounding procedure follows the same setup carried out by Adamidis (1998). The proposed family contains all types of combinations between truncated discrete with g...

In this paper a software reliability growth model (SRGM) based on non-homogenous Poisson process (NHPP) is proposed. The principal idea is to provide a SRGM which incorporates both exponentiated Weibull (EW) testing-effort function and change point. In the earlier research, it is found that the probability of fault detection is not constant. It can be changed at some point of time which is call...

OBJECTIVES This study determined the flexural strength of one hipped and eight presintered zirconia and evaluated the results using different estimation methods of Weibull statistics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Presintered zirconia specimens were prepared in white state and sintered according to each manufacturer's instructions. One hipped zirconia acted as the control group. The specimens were lo...

‎A conditional test based on quadratic form using type-2 censored sample for testing exponentiality against Weibull alternative is proposed‎. ‎The simulated percentage points and powers are given‎. ‎The proposed test performs well for identifying Weibull DFR alternative even for small sample‎. ‎An example is also given.

In this paper two new fading distributions, the α−η−μ Distribution and α−κ−μ Distribution, are presented. The α − η − μ distribution includes the α − μ, Nakagami-m, Nakagami-q, Weibull, Hoyt, Rayleigh, Exponential, and the OneSided Gaussian distributions as special cases. The α − κ − μ distribution includes the α − μ, Nakagami-m, Weibull, Rice, Rayleigh, Exponential, and the One-Sided Gaussian ...

In the present study, we have constructed MinMaxEnt distribution alternative to the Weibull distribution for the wind speed. MinMaxEnt distribution minimizes the special maximum entropy functional in the concrete set of moment functions, therefore, maximizes the amount of information generated by the given random sample. MinMaxEnt distribution of wind speed data measured in Eskisehir is also ob...

In this paper, we propose to include Weibull tail-distributions in a more general family of distributions. In particular, the considered model also encompasses the whole Fréchet maximum domain of attraction as well as log-Weibull tail-distributions. The asymptotic normality of some tail estimators based on the log-spacings between the largest order statistics is established in a unified way wit...
