A Characterization of the Generalized Birnbaum–saunders Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
• The Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) model is a fatigue life distribution related to the normal one with appealing properties. It is a non-negative transformation of a N(0,1) random variable Z, and its extended version, the so-called generalized Birnbaum– Saunders (GBS) model, obtained replacing Z by any other symmetric continuous random variable, shares the same properties. In this paper we characterize the GBS distribution according to one of its outstanding properties and take advantage of this characterization to derive a graphical procedure to assess whether an observed data set follows a GBS distribution. We further develop a goodness-of-fit test for the hypothesis that the data follow a BS distribution with unknown parameters and apply the results to real data sets. Key-Words: • Birnbaum–Saunders distribution; goodness-of-fit; graphical tools; TTT plot. AMS Subject Classification: • 62E10, 63E15, 62-09.

Generalized Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution
The two-parameter Birnbaum–Saunders (BS) distribution was originally proposed as a failure time distribution for fatigue failure caused under cyclic loading. BS model is a positively skewed statistical distribution which has received great attention in recent decades. Several extensions of this distribution with various degrees of skewness, kurtosis and modality are considered. In particular, a...
متن کاملEstimation Methods for the Parameters of Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution
Abstract: Depending on the type of distribution, estimation of parameters are not sometimes simple in practice. In particular, this is the case for Birnbaum-Saunders distribution (BS). In this article, we present four different methods for estimating the parameters of a BS distribution. First, a simple graphical technique, analogous to probability plotting, is used to estimate the parameters an...
متن کاملAn Extension of the Birnbaum-Saunders Distribution Based on Skew-Normal t Distribution
In this paper, we introducte a family of univariate Birnbaum-Saunders distributions arising from the skew-normal-t distribution. We obtain several properties of this distribution such as its moments, the maximum likelihood estimation procedure via an EM-algorithm and a method to evaluate standard errors using the EM-algorithm. Finally, we apply these methods to a real data set to demonstr...
متن کاملModelling location, scale and shape parameters of the birnbaum- saunders generalized t distribution
The Birnbaum-Saunders generalized t (BSGT) distribution is a very flflexible family of distributions that admits different degrees of skewness and kurtosis and includes some important special or limiting cases available in the literature, such as the Birnbaum-Saunders and BirnbaumSaunders t distributions. In this paper we provide a regression type model to the BSGT distribution based on the gen...
