Abstract A reliability evaluation method of pseudo-failure life distribution for Industrial Robot Servo System (IRSS) based on The Generalized Lambda Distribution (GLD) was proposed in the paper. IRSS GLD established. Quantile estimation applied to estimate parameters. had no need presetting specific morphology, and thus improve accuracy modeling. In application experiment, used obtain failure ...

In speech recognition, acoustic modeling mismatches for the shapes of distributions are unavoidable when we use fixed-shape base distributions, such as the Gaussian. This paper proposes a new base distribution called the "generalized Laplacian distribution (GLD)", which offers more flexibility in terms of the distribution shape. The effectiveness of the GLD-based modeling is proven through spee...

The conventional power method transformation is a moment-matching technique that simulates non-normal distributions with controlled measures of skew and kurtosis. The percentile-based power method is an alternative that uses the percentiles of a distribution in lieu of moments. This article presents a SAS/IML macro that implements the percentile-based power method.

This paper introduces, investigates, and discusses the γ-order generalized lognormal distribution (γ-GLD). Under certain values of the extra shape parameter γ, the usual lognormal, log-Laplace, and log-uniform distribution, are obtained, as well as the degenerate Dirac distribution.The shape of all themembers of the γ-GLD family is extensively discussed.The cumulative distribution function is e...

Cycle time-throughput (CT-TH) percentile curves quantify the relationship between percentiles of cycle time and factory throughput, and they can play an important role in strategic planning for manufacturing systems. In this paper, a highly flexible distribution, the generalized gamma, is used to represent the underlying distribution of cycle time. To obtain CT-TH percentile curves, we use a fa...

The flexibility of the family of Generalized Lambda Distributions (GLD) has encouraged researchers to fit GLD distributions to datasets in many circumstances. The methods that have been used to obtain GLD fits have also varied. This paper compares, for the first time, the relative qualities of three GLD fitting methods: the method of moments, a method based on percentiles, and a method that use...

In this paper, we propose a goodness-of-fit test based on the empirical likelihood method for the generalized lambda distribution (GLD) family. Such a nonparametric test approximates the optimal Neyman-Pearson likelihood ratio test under the unknown alternative distribution scenario. The p-value of the test is approximated through the simulations due to the dependency of the test statistic on t...

Caenorhabditis elegans EGO-1, a putative cellular RNA-directed RNA polymerase, promotes several aspects of germline development, including proliferation, meiosis, and gametogenesis, and ensures a robust response to RNA interference. In C. elegans, GLP-1/Notch signaling from the somatic gonad maintains a population of proliferating germ cells, while entry of germ cells into meiosis is triggered ...

The paper deals with the Computer-Aided Tolerancing and Product Data Management. It is especially focus on data and knowledge management system to support and improve the tolerancing tasks in product development process. The first part of the paper introduces an overview about the recent developments related to tolerancing supports and data management systems. Based on a literature survey and i...
