We introduce a new generalized family of nonnegative continuous distributions by addingtwo extra parameters to a lifetime distribution, called the baseline distribution, by twice com-pounding a power series distribution. The new family, called the lifetime power series-powerseries family, has a...

We study two credit risk models with occupation time and liquidation barriers: the structural model and the hybrid model with hazard rate. The defaults within the models are characterized in accordance with Chapter 7 (a liquidation process) and Chapter 11 (a reorganization process) of the U.S....

Modelling lifetime data with simple mathematical representations and an ease in obtain ing the parameter estimate of survival models are crucial quests pursued by survival re searchers. In this paper, we derived and introduced a one-parameter distribution called the Agu-Eghwerido (AGUE)...

Abstract The log-logistic distribution is a right skewed distribution of a random variable whose logarithm has the logistic distribution. In this paper, characterizations based on truncated moments, functions of order statistics and record values are obtained. Also, limiting distributions for...
