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.

Estimating the Parametric Functions and Reliability Measures for Exponentiated Lifetime Distributions Family

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors derived the probability density function, cumulative density, reliability function and the stress-strength parameter of the exponentiated lifetime distribution, and the validity of the proposed work has been conducted over the simulation study of both estimation methods under the special sub model as exponentiated inverse Gompertz distribution.

Average BER Analysis of Free-Space Optical Communications with Adaptive Threshold Technique Over Exponentiated Weibull Distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, the average bit error rate (BER) performance of on-off keying (OOK) modulation in a free space optical (FSO) system, which is based on adaptive threshold technique under atmospheric turbulence described by exponentiated Weibull (EW) distribution, is studied and compared with that of using fixed threshold technique.

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.
