This section describes the probability distributions available in the RELIABILITY procedure for probability plotting and parameter estimation. Refer to Lawless (1982, p. 240) for a description of the ...

The Applied Probability Trust is a non-profit publishing foundation established in 1964 to promote study and research in the mathematical sciences. Its titles Journal of Applied Probability and ...

We define a multivariate gamma distribution on ${\Bbb R}^{n}$ by its Laplace transform $(P(-\boldsymbol{\theta}))^{-\lambda}$, λ > 0, where $P(\boldsymbol{\theta ...

For each distribution, the baseline survival distribution function (S) and the probability density function(f) are listed for the additive random disturbance. These distributions apply when the log of ...

Let’s introduce a method to estimate the errors created by placing the thermocouples in temperature measurement. It will be shown how the errors depend on ...

The authors propose a formal mathematical measure to assess the versatility (simplicity and adaptability) of parametric frequency and severity distributions before use. They compute and compare the ...
