A log-linear regression model for the β-Birnbaum-Saunders distribution with censored data
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 are derived. We propose a new log-β-Birnbaum–Saunders regression model that can be applied to censored data and be used more effectively in survival analysis. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters for censored data and investigate influence diagnostics. The new location-scale regression model is modified for the possibility that long-term survivors may be presented in the data. Its usefulness is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

Variable Selection in Log - linear Birnbaum - Saunders Regression Models for High - dimensional Survival Data
Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) distribution is broadly used to model failure times with reliability and survival data. In this thesis, we propose a simultaneous parameter estimation and variable selection procedure in a log-linear BS regression model for high-dimensional survival data. We introduce a path-wise algorithm via cyclical coordinate descent method based on the elastic-net penalty. To deal wi...
متن کاملBirnbaum-Saunders nonlinear regression models
We introduce, for the first time, a new class of Birnbaum–Saunders nonlinear regression models potentially useful in lifetime data analysis. The class 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 clo...

متن کاملGeneralized 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...
