Benford Distribution and its Applications
author
Abstract:
This papers considers the Benford distribution as one the interesting rules of probability theory. This rule shows that, despite of usual underestanding about the uniform distribution of digites for lieing on different positions in numbers, digits are distributed according to an non uniform distributions for numbers araising from many natural phonemena. Benford distribution proposes a discrete and asymetric distribution for observations resulted from counting or natural events. This rule is used in vorious applicatins in different fields.

Genome Sizes and the Benford Distribution
BACKGROUND Data on the number of Open Reading Frames (ORFs) coded by genomes from the 3 domains of Life show the presence of some notable general features. These include essential differences between the Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes, with the number of ORFs growing linearly with total genome size for the former, but only logarithmically for the latter. RESULTS Simply by assuming that the (prote...
full textBeta-Linear Failure Rate Distribution and its Applications
We introduce in this paper a new four-parameter generalized version of the linear failure rate distribution which is called Beta-linear failure rate distribution. The new distribution is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling survival data and reliability problems. It can have a constant, decreasing, increasing and bathtub-shaped failure rate function depending on its parameter...
full textA Perturbed Half-normal Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper, a new generalization of the half-normal distribution which is called the perturbed half-normal distribution is introduced. The new distribution belongs to a family of distributions which includes the half-normal distribution along with an extra parameter to regulate skewness. The probability density function (pdf) is derived and some various properties of the new distribution are...
full textA New Modified Weibull Distribution and Its Applications
In this paper we introduce a four-parameter generalized Weibull distribution. This new distribution has a more general form of failure rate function. It is more general for modeling than six ageing classes of life distributions with appropriate choices of parameter values, so it can display decreasing, increasing, bathtub shaped, unimodal, increasing-decreasing increasing and decreasing-increas...
full textIshita Distribution and Its Applications
The analyzing and modeling real lifetime data are crucial in many applied sciences including medicine, engineering, insurance and finance, amongst others. The two important one parameter lifetime distributions namely exponential and Lindley [2] are popular for modeling lifetime data from biomedical science and engineering. Recently, Shanker et al. [3] have conducted a comparative and critical s...
full textTracy-Widom Distribution and its Applications
Example : (Local maxima) Let Z = (Z1, ..., Zn) be i.i.d. U(0, 1) random variables and let Sn be the number of local maxima in Z. Then Sn/ √ V ar(Sn)→d N (0, 1) as n→∞. CLT is so strong due to its universality and a natural question is whether there are other laws that own the same property. Tracy-Widom distribution and its variants form such a class and they appear in several statistics of rand...
