Marshall and Olkin (1997)  [14] provided a general method to introduce a parameter into a family of distributions and discussed in details about the exponential and Weibull families. They have also briefly introduced the bivariate extension, although not any properties or inferential issues...

Birnbaum and Saunders introduced in 1969 a two-parameter lifetime distribution which has been used quite successfully to model a wide variety of univariate positively skewed data. Diaz-Garcia and Leiva-Sanchez [8] proposed a generalized Birnbaum–Saunders distribution by using an elliptically...

The estimation of the parameters of the two-dimensional sinusoidal signal model has been addressed. The proposed method is the two-dimensional extension of the one-dimensional noise space decomposition method. It provides consistent estimators of the unknown parameters and they are non-iterative...
