TLDR
In this article, a simple generalization of the Weibull distribution is presented, which is well suited for modeling bathtub failure rate lifetime data and for testing goodness-of-fit of the weibull and negative exponential models as subhypotheses.

A new lifetime distribution with applications in inventory and insurance

TL;DR: In this article, a new probability density function having both unbounded and bounded support with a wider applicability is introduced, which has applications in insurance and inventory management with ability to fit risk management data on proportions better than existing bounded distributions.

Statistical Inference for Heavy-Tailed Distributions in Technical Systems

TL;DR: This paper proposes a class of goodness of t tests based on Csiszar's class of measures designed for heavy-tailed distributions and relies on such measures to evaluate the residual and past lifetimes of events which are associated with the tail part of the distribution.

The Odd Log-Logistic Generalized Gamma Model: Properties, Applications, Classical And Bayesian Approach

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the log-logistic (LL) distribution with a shape parameter 0 λ >, which is a useful model for survival analysis and it is an alternative to the log normal distribution.

Bayesian prediction intervals of future generalized order statistics under a finite mixture of generalized exponential distributions

TL;DR: In this paper, the Bayesian prediction intervals (BPI) of future generalized order statistics are obtained under a mixture of two components of generalized exponential distributions in case of one and two-sample schemes.

Exponentiated Inverse Power Lindley Distribution and its Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, a three parameter generalisation of inverse lindley distribution is obtained, with the purpose of obtaining a more flexible model relative to the behaviour of hazard rate functions, and a comparison has also been made with some existing distributions.

Statistical Models and Methods for Lifetime Data

TL;DR: Inference procedures for Log-Location-Scale Distributions as discussed by the authors have been used for estimating likelihood and estimating function methods. But they have not yet been applied to the estimation of likelihood.
