We introduce a new generalized transmuted-Weibull distribution and studied some of the mathematical characterizations distribution. The quantile function, entropy, moment, moment generating order statistics are derived. unknown parameters were estimated through maximum likelihood approach. potential flexibility illustrated by comparing it with other known using real-life data sets. Â

We compared recumbent bicycle kinetics in diabetic peripheral neuropathy and nondiabetic men (nine per group). 3D kinematic and force pedal data in a linked-segment model were used. The generalized muscle moment (GMM) patterns were similar between the two groups except for (1) decreased maximum knee flexor moment, (2) increased minimum knee flexor GMM, and (3) maximum hip extensor GMM by the di...

This paper investigates the asymptotic theory for a vector autoregressive moving average–generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity ~ARMAGARCH! model+ The conditions for the strict stationarity, the ergodicity, and the higher order moments of the model are established+ Consistency of the quasimaximum-likelihood estimator ~QMLE! is proved under only the second-order moment conditi...

This paper considers optimal testing of model comparison hypotheses for misspeci…ed unconditional moment restriction models. We adopt the generalized Neyman-Pearson optimality criterion, which focuses on the convergence rates of the type I and II error probabilities under …xed global alternatives, and derive an optimal but practically infeasible test. We then propose feasible approximation test...

Introduction There are a few studies showing an increased risk of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and oxidative stress in patients with vitiligo. Aim To investigate whether systemic inflammation is increased in vitiligo patients in a case-control study design. Material and methods Nonsegmental vitiligo patients who had been followed at the outpatient dermatology clinic of a universi...

A five-parameter distribution called Beta Generalized Weibull (BGW) distribution is introduced. Beta Generalized Exponential (BGE), Beta Weibull (BW), Generalized or Exponentiated Weibull (GW or EW), Generalized Rayleigh (GR), Beta Exponential (BE), Generalized Exponential (GE), Weibull, Rayleigh and Exponential are its sub models. The cumulative distribution function (cdf) and the probability ...

This paper addresses bivariate orthogonal polynomials, which are a tensor product of two different orthogonal polynomials in one variable. These bivariate orthogonal polynomials are used to define several new types of continuous and discrete orthogonal moments. Some elementary properties of the proposed continuous Chebyshev–Gegenbauer moments (CGM), Gegenbauer–Legendre moments (GLM), and Chebys...

BACKGROUND Lichen planus is an inflammatory disease that affects the skin, the oral mucosa, or both. Generalized cutaneous lichen planus may pose a therapeutic challenge for clinicians if the condition persists or flares after topical or systemic corticosteroid therapy. PURPOSE Acitretin, a systemic retinoid, can be considered a potential second-line treatment for patients with generalized cu...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of extracutaneous manifestations and autoimmunity in adult and pediatric patients with morphea. DESIGN A retrospective review of 245 patients with morphea. SETTING University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center-affiliated institutions. Patients Patients with clinical findings consistent with morphea. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Prevalence of concomitant au...
