Semi Parametric Estimation Of Some Reliability Measures Of Geometric Distribution, Mathachan Pathiyil, E.S. Jeevanand

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Semi parametric estimators of the survival function, the hazard function, and the mean residual life function of geometric distribution using uncensored and Type II censored samples are obtained. The accuracy of the estimators so obtained is investigated empirically using simulated samples. The results are applied to a real life data set for illustration.

On The Properties Of Beta-Gamma Distribution, Lingji Kong, Carl Lee, J.H. Sepanski

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

A class of generalized gamma distribution called the beta-gamma distribution is proposed. Some of its properties are examined. Its shape can be reversed J-shaped, unimodal, or bimodal. Reliability and hazard functions are also derived, and applications are discussed.
