The present article considers a new function to propose a new lifetime distribution. The new distribution is introduced by mixing up a linear system of the two logarithms of cumulative hazard functions. The proposed model is called new extended flexible Weibull distribution and is able to model lifetime with bathtub shaped failure rates and offers greater flexibility. Therefore, it can be quite...

In this study we give recurrence relations of single and product moments of lower record values from modified-inverse Weibull distribution.

In recent years finite-mixture models have been employed to approximate and model empirical diameter at breast height (DBH) distributions. We used two-component mixtures of either the Weibull distribution or the gamma distribution for describing the DBH distributions of mixed-species, two-cohort forest stands, to analyse the relationships between the DBH components, age cohorts and dominant spe...

In this paper, we establish some new recurrence relations between the single moments of record values from the modified Weibull distribution as well as between the double moments. Next, we show that the results for the record values from the Weibull distribution obtained by Balakrishnan and Chan (1993) can be derived from our results as special cases. In addition, we deduce some new recurrence ...

In this paper, a new class of five parameter gamma-exponentiated or generalized modified Weibull (GEMW) distribution which includes exponential, Rayleigh, Weibull, exponentiated gamma gamma-modified gamma-Weibull, gamma-Rayleigh and gamma-exponential distributions as special cases is proposed studied. Mathematical properties including moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni Lorenz curves, order st...

Different functions, each in the form of a modified Weibull cumulative distribution function (cdf), were joined together to form a segmented cdfto approximate diameter distributions in forest stands. Estimates of five percentile points (the 0th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 100th percentiles) were used to determine a segmented cdf. The segmented cdf and the Weibull distribution were fit to diameter da...

The Weibull distribution has been used in many different fields with many applications. Researchers have been developing various extensions and modified forms of the Weibull distribution, with different number of parameters. In this paper the Transmuted Additive Weibull distribution is used to find out the hazard rate function for the activation of the hypothalamic – pituitary – adrenal axis in...
