  1. In this article, we introduce the multivariate slash and skew-slash t distributions which provide alternative choices in simulating and fitting skewed and heavy tailed data. We study their relationships with othe...

  2. In this paper we use Cox’s regression model to fit failure time data with continuous informative auxiliary variables in the presence of a validation subsample. We first estimate the induced relative risk funct...

  3. In this paper, the Kumaraswamy-geometric distribution, which is a member of the T-geometric family of discrete distributions is defined and studied. Some properties of the distribution such as moments, probabilit...

  4. Geometric and stochastic representations are derived for the big class of p-generalized elliptically contoured distributions, and (generalizing Cavalieri’s and Torricelli’s method of indivisibles in a non-Euclide...

  5. An overview of the evolution of probability models for over-dispersion is given looking at their origins, motivation, first main contributions, important milestones and applications. A specific class of models...

  6. The idea of generating skewed distributions from normal has been of great interest among researchers for decades. This paper proposes four families of generalized normal distributions using the T-X framework. The...

  7. The class of beta-generated distributions (Commun. Stat. Theory Methods 31:497–512, 2002; TEST 13:1–43, 2004) has received a lot of attention in the last years. In this paper, three new classes of bivariate be...

  8. Constructing a bivariate distribution with specific marginals and correlation has been a challenging problem since 1930s. In this survey we shall focus on the recent developments on the FGM-related distributio...

  9. We develop Bayesian reference analyses for linear regression models when the errors follow an exponential power distribution. Specifically, we obtain explicit expressions for reference priors for all the six p...

  10. The Pareto distribution has long been recognized as a suitable model for many non-negative socio-economic variables. Univariate and multivariate variations abound. Some unification is possible by representing ...

  11. The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the T-X family is given by R{W(F(x))}, where R is the CDF of a random variable T, F is the CDF of X and W is an increasing function defined on [0, 1] having the suppo...
