In this paper, we discuss different estimators of the records Weibull distribution parameters and also we apply the Kullback-Leibler divergence of survival function method to estimate record Weibull parameters. Finally, these estimators have been compared using Monte Carlo simulation and suggested good estimators.

  Spreading and coating of nano and micro droplets on solid surfaces is important in a wide variety of applications including plasma spray coating, ink jet printing, DNA synthesis and etc. In spraying processes, most of droplets collide obliquely to the surface. The purpose of this article is to study the distribution of nano and micro droplets spreading when droplets impact at an oblique a...

In this talk we review several applications of two Weibull extensions in statistical theory and applied research. The two extensions are the generalized Weibull and the exponentiated Weibull families, and the applications are in the areas of reliability and survival analysis, exteme value analysis, isotones and distributional approximations. 1 The Generalized Weibull Family The generalized Weib...

Doubly censoring scheme, which includes left as well as right censored observations, is frequently observed in practical studies. In this paper we introduce a new interval say tracking interval for comparing the two rival models when the data are doubly censored. We obtain the asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimator under doubly censored data and drive a statistic for testing the ...

Splashing of splat particles is one of the most important phenomena in industrial processes such as thermal spray coating. The data relative to the degree of splashing of splats sprayed with a normal angle are commonly characterized by the Weibull distribution function. In this present study, an effort has been made to show that the Burr distribution is better than the Weibull distribution for ...

In the present study, we have constructed MinMaxEnt distribution alternative to the Weibull distribution for the wind speed. MinMaxEnt distribution minimizes the special maximum entropy functional in the concrete set of moment functions, therefore, maximizes the amount of information generated by the given random sample. MinMaxEnt distribution of wind speed data measured in Eskisehir is also ob...

A three-parameter Weibull distribution model was developed and verified to simulate the underlying frequency distributions of observations with missing values through the entire range of observations or near and below detection limit of the monitoring equipment. The corresponding Weibull pseudo-random generator then can be used to estimate and replace the missing observations so that the origin...

the hydrothermal time models have been widely applied to describe the germination responses of seeds to temperature and water potential. in this study, three hydrothermal time models developed on the basis of different statistical distributions (normal, weibull and gumbel) were compared to describe the phalaris minor seed germination. results showed that gumbel (aicc=-762.8) and weibull (aicc=-...

A four parameter generalization of the Weibull distribution capable of modeling a bathtub-shaped hazard rate function is defined and studied. The beauty and importance of this distribution lies in its ability to model monotone as well as non-monotone failure rates, which are quite common in lifetime problems and reliability. The new distribution has a number of well-known lifetime special sub-m...
