Jorgensen <italic>et al</italic>. [14] introduced a three-parameter generalized inverse Gaussian distribution, which is a mixture of the inverse Gaussian distribution and length biased inverse Gaussian distribution. Also Birnbaum--Saunders distribution is a special case for <inline-formula> <inline-graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="cjas_a_567251_o_ilm0001.gif"/> </inline-formula>, where <italic>p</italic> is the mixing parameter....

Surles and Padgett recently considered two-parameter Burr Type X distribution by introducing a scale parameter and called it the generalized Rayleigh distribution. It is observed that the generalized Rayleigh and log-normal distributions have many common properties and both distributions can be...

Acceptance sampling plans for generalized exponential distribution when the lifetime experiment is truncated at a pre-determined time are provided in this article. The tables are provided for the minimum sample size required to ensure a certain median life of the experimental unit when the shape...

In this article, we consider a parametric survival model that is appropriate when the population of interest contains long-term survivors or immunes. The model referred to as the cure rate model was introduced by Boag 1 in terms of a mixture model that included a component representing the...

In this paper, we consider the Bayesian analysis of competing risks data, when the data are partially complete in both time and type of failures. It is assumed that the latent cause of failures have independent Weibull distributions with the common shape parameter, but different scale...
