This paper presents a reliability analysis for electronic devices (ED) with bathtub curve-shaped failure times. An extension of the exponentiated perks distribution (EPD) is proposed analysis. The this new based on Alpha Power Transformation, so Exponentiated Perks Distribution (AEXP) introduced. AEXP has three shape parameters and one scale parameter, allowing greater flexibility to represent ...

In the literature of analyzing extremes, both generalized Pareto distribution and Pareto distribution are employed to infer the tail of a distribution with a known positive extreme value index. Similar studies exist for a known negative extreme value index. Intuitively, one should not employ the generalized Pareto distribution in case of knowing the sign of the extreme value index. In this pape...

Empirical studies have shown that the size distribution of firms can be described as a lognormal or Pareto distribution. However, these studies have focused on developed countries and little attention has been devoted to developing countries. Using the variable of number of employees as a measure of firm size, this paper investigates the shape of firm size distribution in the food & beverages i...

The Generalized Pareto Distribution is a very useful tool for modeling in many areas of economics, finance and insurance. The Generalized Pareto Distribution is commonly used for extreme value problems. Especially, the values which exceed the finite threshold, is the focus in extreme value problems like in insurance sector. The Generalized Pareto Distribution is well approach for modeling the s...
