Measures of relative variability, such as the Pearson's coefficient of variation (CV$_p$), give much insight into the spread of lifetime distributions, like the Weibull distribution. The estimation of the Weibull CV$_p$ in modern statistics…
We demonstrate that certain astrophysical distributions can be modelled with the truncated Weibull distribution, which can lead to some insights: in particular, we report the average value, the $r$th moment, the variance, the median, the…
The Power Generalized DUS (PGDUS) Transformation is significant in reliability theory, especially for analyzing parallel systems. From the Generalized Extreme Value distribution, Inverse Weibull model particularly has wide applicability in…
In computational inverse problems, it is common that a detailed and accurate forward model is approximated by a computationally less challenging substitute. The model reduction may be necessary to meet constraints in computing time when…
Large-scale latent variable models require expressive continuous distributions that support efficient sampling and low-variance differentiation, achievable through the reparameterization trick. The Kumaraswamy (KS) distribution is both…
Let $\{X_{1},\ldots,X_{N_1}\}$ and $\{Y_{1},\ldots,Y_{N_2}\}$ be two sequences of interdependent heterogeneous samples, where for $i=1,\ldots,N_{1},$ $X_{i}\sim \text{Kw-G}(x, \alpha_{i}, \gamma_{i};G)$ and for $i=1,\ldots,N_{2},$…
The Weibull function is widely used to describe skew distributions observed in nature. However, the origin of this ubiquity is not always obvious to explain. In the present paper, we consider the well-known Galton-Watson branching process…
This paper focuses on Bayesian shrinkage for covariance matrix estimation. We examine posterior properties and frequentist risks of Bayesian estimators based on new hierarchical inverse-Wishart priors. More precisely, we give the existence…

The Kumaraswamy distribution has been proposed as an alternative to the beta distribution with more benign algebraic properties. They have the same two parameters, the same support and qualitatively similar shape for any parameter values.…
In this paper, we propose a reduced version of the new modified Weibull (NMW) distribution due to Almalki and Yuan \cite{meNMW} in order to avoid some estimation problems. The number of parameters in the NMW distribution is five. The number…

A common task in experimental sciences is to fit mathematical models to real-world measurements to improve understanding of natural phenomenon (reverse-engineering or inverse modeling). When complex dynamical systems are considered, such as…
We propose a probability distribution for multivariate binary random variables. The probability distribution is expressed as principal minors of the parameter matrix, which is a matrix analogous to the inverse covariance matrix in the…
