A stability property of Weibull tail-distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
We exhibit a new stability property of Weibull tail-distributions. It is shown that the power of a random variable with a Weibull tail-distribution still has a Weibull tail-distribution and the associated Weibull tail-coefficient is exhibited. Weibull tail-distributions are defined through their distribution function by:

Negative Weibull tail-distributions
We propose a new family of distributions referred to as Weibull taildistributions. This family is designed to model left tails with exponential behavior. The exponent can be estimated using inference procedures adapted from the Weibull tail-distributions literature. Let us define a negative Weibull tail-distribution through its distribution function by: F (x) = exp {
متن کاملWeibull tail-distributions revisited: a new look at some tail estimators
In this paper, we propose to include Weibull tail-distributions in a more general family of distributions. In particular, the considered model also encompasses the whole Fréchet maximum domain of attraction as well as log-Weibull tail-distributions. The asymptotic normality of some tail estimators based on the log-spacings between the largest order statistics is established in a unified way wit...
متن کاملStability and robustness of `1-minimizations with Weibull matrices and redundant dictionaries
Abstract We investigate the recovery of almost s-sparse vectors x ∈ C from undersampled and inaccurate data y = Ax + e ∈ C by means of minimizing ‖z‖1 subject to the equality constraints Az = y. If m s ln(N/s) and if Gaussian random matrices A ∈ Rm×N are used, this equality-constrained `1-minimization is known to be stable with respect to sparsity defects and robust with respect to measurement ...
متن کاملBayesian Estimation of Reliability of the Electronic Components Using Censored Data from Weibull Distribution: Different Prior Distributions
The Weibull distribution has been widely used in survival and engineering reliability analysis. In life testing experiments is fairly common practice to terminate the experiment before all the items have failed, that means the data are censored. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to estimate the reliability function of the Weibull distribution with uncensored and censored data by using B...
متن کاملComparing the Shape Parameters of Two Weibull Distributions Using Records: A Generalized Inference
The Weibull distribution is a very applicable model for the lifetime data. For inference about two Weibull distributions using records, the shape parameters of the distributions are usually considered equal. However, there is not an appropriate method for comparing the shape parameters in the literature. Therefore, comparing the shape parameters of two Weibull distributions is very important. I...
