On the basis of some characteristics such as quantile function and skewness coefficient of th upper/lower record of a given absolutely continuous distribution, as well as a confidence interval for th upper/lower record statistic of a two-parameter Weibull model, a point estimator for shape...

A truncated version of the bivariate inverted dirichlet distribution is introduced. Unlike the inverted dirichlet distribution, this possesses finite moments of all orders and could therefore be a better model for certain practical situations. One such situation is discussed. The moments,...

Motivated by a Bayesian inference problem, a modification of the Bessel function distribution is introduced. Various particular cases, expressions for its moments and estimation procedures are derived. An application is illustrated to failure data.

The aim of the present paper is to study the distributions of product of two independent random variables X and Y which are not everywhere positive. We have taken X to be a type II Bessel function random variate whereas Y belongs to one of normal, Pearson VII or Maxwell-Boltzmann families of...
