TLDR
In this paper , the authors comprehensively review the historical backgrounds and statistical properties of a number of parametric distributions used in survival and reliability analyses, including the exponential, Weibull, Rayleigh, lognormal, log-logistic, gamma, generalized gamma, Pareto (types I, II, and IV), Hjorth, Burr (types III and XII), Dagum, exponential power, Gompertz, Birnbaum-Saunders, exponential-logarithmic, piecewise exponential, generalized exponential, exponentiated Weibell, generalized modified Weibbull, and spline distributions.Abstract:
During its 330 years of history, parametric distributions have been useful for survival and reliability analyses. In this paper, we comprehensively review the historical backgrounds and statistical properties of a number of parametric distributions used in survival and reliability analyses. We provide encyclopedic coverage of the important parametric distributions, which is more extensive than the existing textbooks on survival and reliability analyses. We also explain how these distributions have been adopted in survival and reliability analyses with original and state-of-the-art references. We cover the exponential, Weibull, Rayleigh, lognormal, log-logistic, gamma, generalized gamma, Pareto (types I, II, and IV), Hjorth, Burr (types III and XII), Dagum, exponential power, Gompertz, Birnbaum-Saunders, exponential-logarithmic, piecewise exponential, generalized exponential, exponentiated Weibull, generalized modified Weibull, and spline distributions. We analyze a real dataset for illustration.read more

Theoretical Contributions to Three Generalized Versions of the Celebioglu–Cuadras Copula
TL;DR: In this article , three generalized versions of the Celebioglu-cuadras copula are proposed, each involving three tuning parameters, and the main results are theoretical: they consist of determining wide and manageable intervals of admissible values for the involved parameters.

Statistical Inference of Truncated Cauchy Power-Inverted Topp-Leone Distribution under Hybrid Censored Scheme with Applications
TL;DR: In this article , a new two-parameter model called the truncated Cauchy power-inverted Topp-Leone (TCP-ITL) is constructed by merging truncated cauchy powers with inverted topp-leone distribution.

A Collection of New Trigonometric- and Hyperbolic-FGM-Type Copulas
TL;DR: In this paper , a collection of eight trigonometric and hyperbolic copulas, four based on the sine function and the others on the tangent function, all derived from the construction of the famous Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula, are presented.

Theoretical Advancements on a Few New Dependence Models Based on Copulas with an Original Ratio Form
TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed five new copulas based on a common original ratio form, which are defined with a single tuning parameter, and all reduce to the independence copula when this parameter is equal to zero.

Complete Study of an Original Power-Exponential Transformation Approach for Generalizing Probability Distributions
TL;DR: In this paper , a modified generalized-G (MGG) family of distributions is proposed to provide flexible shapes for the corresponding probability functions, which can possess increasing, constant, decreasing, unimodal, or bathtub-shaped hazard rate functions.

Information Theory and an Extention of the Maximum Likelihood Principle
TL;DR: The classical maximum likelihood principle can be considered to be a method of asymptotic realization of an optimum estimate with respect to a very general information theoretic criterion to provide answers to many practical problems of statistical model fitting.

A Generalization of the Gamma Distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalization of the gamma distribution is proposed, which is based on Liouville's extension to Dirichlet's integral formula, and the moment generating function is shown, and cumulative probabilities are related directly to the incomplete gamma function.

TL;DR: In this article, a three-parameter generalized exponential distribution (GED) was used for analysis of lifetime data, which is a particular case of the exponentiated Weibull distribution originally proposed by Mudholkar et al.
