In this paper, we introduce a new shared frailty model called the compound negative binomial shared frailty model with three different baseline distributions namely, Weibull, generalized exponential and exponential power distribution. To estimate the parameters involved in these models we adopt...

We study a five-parameter lifetime distribution called the McDonald extended exponential model to generalize the exponential, generalized exponential, Kumaraswamy exponential and beta exponential distributions, among others. We obtain explicit expressions for the moments and incomplete moments,...

We consider a renewal risk model in which the claim inter-arrival distribution is generalized exponential (GE). We obtain the probability distribution for the ladder height distribution and use it to find the bounds for the ultimate ruin probabilities for individual claim amount distributions....

In this paper, we consider a renewal risk model with dividend barrier, in which the claim inter-occurrence times are generalized exponential. We obtain explicit expression for the probability of absorption by an upper barrier b, before ruin occurs when the claim amount distribution is either...
