We introduce the beta generalized exponential distribution that includes the beta exponential and generalized exponential distributions as special cases. We provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of this distribution. We derive the moment generating function and the rth moment thus generalizing some results in the literature. Expressions for the density, moment generating function and r...

The shape of a probability distribution is often summarized by the distribution’s skewness and kurtosis. Starting from a symmetric “parent” density f on the real line, we can modify its shape (i.e. introduce skewness and in-/decrease kurtosis) if f is appropriately weighted. In particular, every density w on the interval (0, 1) is a specific weighting function. Within this work, we follow up a ...

On the basis of the half-Cauchy distribution, we propose the called beta-half-Cauchy distribution for modeling lifetime data. Various explicit expressions for its moments, generating and quantile functions, mean deviations, and density function of the order statistics and their moments are provided. The parameters of the new model are estimated by maximum likelihood, and the observed informatio...

A new distribution called the beta-generalized Pareto is proposed. Several properties of this distribution are presented. The expressions for the mean, mean deviation, variance, and entropies are obtained. The method of maximum likelihood is proposed to estimate the parameters of the distribution. The flexibility of this distribution is illustrated in an application to a real data set.

In this paper, we introduce a new five-parameter distribution with increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped failure rate called the Beta-Weibull-Logarithmic (BWL) distribution. Using the Sterling Polynomials, various properties of the new distribution such as its probability density function, its reliability and failure rate functions, quantiles and moments, R$acute{e}$nyi and Shannon entropie...

Nikulin proved that the isometries induced on the second cohomology group of a K3 surface X by a finite abelian group G of symplectic automorphisms are essentially unique. Moreover he computed the discriminant of the sublattice of H(X,Z) which is fixed by the isometries induced by G. However for certain groups these discriminants are not the same of those found for explicit examples. Here we de...

It is well known that rational approximation theory involves degenerate hyperge-ometric functions and, in particular, the Padé of exponential function closely related to Kummer hypergeometric functions. Recently, context study stability trivial solution delay-differential equations, a new link between and zeros distribution characteristic associated with linear equations was emphasized. Such al...
