Abstract
We extend the 2-parameter Weibull to the generalized gamma distribution by adding a new partial parameter. The new shape parameter can be used to easily generate generalized gamma distributions with different shapes of the density function, hazard rate, and mean residual lifetimes that are useful in simulating various business processes such as manufacturing processes, and reliability systems. We derived some theoretical results and created visual presentations to demonstrate the behaviors of this new shape parameter as well. A new Monte Carlo simulation based on the new parameter was proposed to assess the discrepancy between the generalized gamma and its subfamilies. The power analysis of the proposed test was evaluated via simulation studies. We also present some numerical examples.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes original research and survey papers in the area of Probability and Statistics. It covers theoretical and practical aspects, in any field of these domains.
Of particular interest are methodological developments with application in other scientific areas, for example Biology and Genetics, Information Theory, Finance, Bioinformatics, Random structures and Random graphs, Econometrics, Physics.
Long papers are very welcome.
Indeed, we intend to develop the journal in the direction of applications and to open it to various fields where random mathematical modelling is important. In particular we will call (survey) papers in these areas, in order to make the random community aware of important problems of both theoretical and practical interest. We all know that many recent fascinating developments in Probability and Statistics are coming from "the outside" and we think that ESAIM: P&S should be a good entry point for such exchanges. Of course this does not mean that the journal will be only devoted to practical aspects.
