Characterizations And Reliability Measures Of The Generalized Log Burr Xii Distribution, Fiaz Ahmad Bhatti, Gholamhossein G. Hamedani, Azeem Ali, Sedigheh Mirzaei Salehabadi, Munir Ahmad

Mathematical and Statistical Science Faculty Research and Publications

In this paper, we derive the generalized log Burr XII (GLBXII) distribution [2] from the generalized Burr-Hatke differential equation. We characterize the GLBXII distribution via innovative techniques. We derive various reliability measures (series and parallel). We also authenticate the potentiality of the GLBXII model via economics applications. The applications of characterizations and reliability measures of the GLBXII distribution in different disciplines of science will be profitable for scientists.

A numerical analysis for the mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis and the index of dispersion is presented. The new distribution could be useful in the modeling of "under-dispersed" or "overdispersed" count data. Certain characterizations of the new distribution are presented. These …
