This paper introduces a polynomial transformation model based on Weibull distribution, whereby the analytical representation of the quantile function for many probability distributions can be obtained. Firstly, the target random variable…
The beta family owes its privileged status within unit interval distributions to several relevant features such as, for example, easyness of interpretation and versatility in modeling different types of data. However, its flexibility at the…
Many events in biology are triggered when a diffusing searcher finds a target, which is called a first passage time (FPT). The overwhelming majority of FPT studies have analyzed the time it takes a single searcher to find a target. However,…
The Kumaraswamy Inverse Weibull distribution has the ability to model failure rates that have unimodal shapes and are quite common in reliability and biological studies. The three-parameter Kumaraswamy Inverse Weibull distribution with…
A new 2 parameter unit Weibull distribution is defined on the unit interval (0,1). The methodology of deducing its PDF, some of its properties and related functions are discussed. The paper is supplied by many figures illustrating the new…
This article aims to introduced a new lifetime distribution named as exponentiated xgamma distribution (EXGD). The new generalization obtained from xgamma distribution, a special finite mixture of exponential and gamma distributions. The…
A new five-parameter continuous distribution which generalizes the Kumaraswamy and the beta distributions as well as some other well-known distributions is proposed and studied. The model has as special cases new four- and three-parameter…
In the present paper, Probability weighted moments (PWMs) method for parameter estimation of the median based unit weibull (MBUW) distribution is discussed. The most widely used first order PWMs is compared with the higher order PWMs for…
We present formulas for the (raw and central) moments and absolute moments of the normal distribution. We note that these results are not new, yet many textbooks miss out on at least some of them. Hence, we believe that it is worthwhile to…
A new family of Barnes beta distributions on $(0, \infty)$ is introduced and its infinite divisibility, moment determinacy, scaling, and factorization properties are established. The Morris integral probability distribution is constructed…
Two-term asymptotic formulae for the probability distribution functions for the smallest eigenvalue of the Jacobi $ \beta $-Ensembles are derived for matrices of large size in the r\'egime where $ \beta > 0 $ is arbitrary and one of the…
We derive a closed form solution for the Kullback-Leibler divergence between two Weibull distributions. These notes are meant as reference material and intended to provide a guided tour towards a result that is often mentioned but seldom…
This work obtains sharp closed-form exponential concentration inequalities of Bernstein type for the ubiquitous beta distribution, improving upon sub-gaussian and sub-gamma bounds previously studied in this context. The proof leverages a…
In this paper we discuss a closed-form approximation of the likelihood functions of an arbitrary diffusion process. The approximation is based on an exponential ansatz of the transition probability for a finite time step $\Delta t$, and a…
This article is aimed at the investigation of some properties of the Weibull cumulative exposure model on multiple-step step-stress accelerated life test data. Although the model includes a probabilistic idea of Miner's rule in order to…
Studying overlapping coefficients has recently become of great benefit, especially after its use in goodness-of-fit tests. These coefficients are defined as the amount of similarity between two statistical distributions. This research…
In this manuscript we analyse the long-term probability density function of non-stationary dynamical processes which are enclosed inward the Feller class of processes with time varying exponents for multiplicative noise. The update in the…
The beta normal distribution is a generalization of both the normal distribution and the normal order statistics. Some of its mathematical properties and a few applications have been studied in the literature. We provide a better foundation…
The notion of meta distribution as the distribution of the conditional coverage probability (CCP) was introduced in \cite{Haenggi2015}. In this letter, we show how we can reconstruct the entire meta distribution only from its moments using…
We propose the notion of sub-Weibull distributions, which are characterised by tails lighter than (or equally light as) the right tail of a Weibull distribution. This novel class generalises the sub-Gaussian and sub-Exponential families to…
