Characterizations of the Amoroso distribution based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments are presented. A remark regarding the characterization of certain special cases of the Amoroso distribution based on hazard function is given. We will also point out that a sub-family of the Amoroso family is a member of the generalized Pearson system.

This is a follow up to our previous work characterizing univariate continuous distributions based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments.

This is a follow up to our previous works characterizing well-known univariate continuous distributions based on a simple relationship between two truncated moments. Three of the distributions considered here unify many distributions employed for size distribution of income (which were characterized in our previous works). Another three distributions characterized here, were first introduced in the context of minimum dynamic discrimination information approch to probability modeling.

We present here characterizations of the most recently introduced continuous univariate distributions based on: (i) a simple relationship between two truncated moments; (ii) truncated moments of certain functions of the 1th order statistic; (iii) truncated moments of certain functions of the n th order statistic; (iv) truncated moment of certain function of the random variable. We like to mention that the characterization (i) which is expressed in terms of the ratio of truncated moments is stable in the sense of weak convergence. We will also point out that some of these distributions are infinitely divisible via Bondesson’s 1979 classifications.

A characterization of power function distribution based on the distribution of spacings is presented here extending the existing characterizations of the uniform distribution in this direction.

First, we recall a concept which is called sub-independence. This concept is stronger than that of uncorrelatedness but a lot weaker than independence. The concept of sub-independence, unlike that of uncorrelatedness, does not depend on the existence of any moments. Then, we consider a particular bivariate mixture to construct a pair (X, Y), which is sub-independent but not independent.

López-Blázquez and Weso lowski [6] introduced the top-k-lists sequence of random vectors and elaborated the usefulness of such data. They also developed the distribution of top-k-lists and their properties arising from various probability distributions, such as standard exponential distribution and uniform distribution on (0, 1). In this paper, we study the linearity of regressions inside top-k-lists and then based on this study we present characterizations of certain distributions.

In this article, a new four-parameter model is introduced which can be used in mod- eling survival data and fatigue life studies. Its failure rate function can be increasing, decreasing, upside down and bathtub-shaped depending on its parameters. We derive explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical quantities. Some useful characterizations are presented. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. The censored maximum likelihood estimation is presented in the general case of the multi-censored data. We demonstrate empirically the importance and exibility of the new model in modeling a real data set.

This study proposes a new family of continuous distributions, called the Gudermannian generated family of distributions, based on the Gudermannian function. The statistical properties, including moments, incomplete moments and generating functions, are studied in detail. Simulation studies are performed to discuss and evaluate the maximum likelihood estimations of the model parameters. The regression model of the proposed family considering the heteroscedastic structure of the scale parameter is defined. Three applications on real data sets are implemented to convince the readers in favour of the proposed models.
