Influence diagnostics in Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regression models
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the issue of assessing influence of observations in the class of Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regression models, which is useful in lifetime data analysis. Our results generalize those in Galea et al. [2004, Influence diagnostics in log–Birnbaum–Saunders regression models. Journal of Applied Statistics 31, 1049–1064] which are confined to Birnbaum–Saunders linear regression models. Some influence methods, such as the local influence, total local influence of an individual and generalized leverage are discussed. Additionally, the normal curvatures of local influence are derived under various perturbation schemes.

A log-linear regression model for the β-Birnbaum-Saunders distribution with censored data
The β-Birnbaum–Saunders (Cordeiro and Lemonte, 2011) and Birnbaum–Saunders (Birnbaum and Saunders, 1969a) distributions have been used quite effectively to model failure times for materials subject to fatigue and lifetime data. We define the log-β-Birnbaum–Saunders distribution by the logarithm of the β-Birnbaum–Saunders distribution. Explicit expressions for its generating function and moments...
متن کاملImproved maximum likelihood estimation in Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regressions
We introduce, for the first time, a class of Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regression models. The new class of models generalizes the regression model described by Rieck and Nedelman [1991, A log-linear model for the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, Technometrics, 33, 51–60]. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of the model, and derive closed-form expressions for the second...

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...
