ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1109/TR.2002.805788 | Abstract: | A new lifetime distribution capable of modeling a bathtub-shaped hazard-rate function is proposed. The proposed model is derived as a limiting case of the Beta Integrated Model and has both the Weibull distribution and Type I extreme value distribution as special cases. The model can be considered as another useful 3-parameter generalization of the Weibull distribution. An advantage of the model is that the model parameters can be estimated easily based on a Weibull probability paper (WPP) plot that serves as a tool for model identification. Model characterization based on the WPP plot is studied. A numerical example is provided and comparison with another Weibull extension, the exponentiated Weibull, is also discussed. The proposed model compares well with other competing models to fit data that exhibits a bathtub-shaped hazard-rate function. | Source Title: | IEEE Transactions on Reliability | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/54430 | ISSN: | 00189529 | DOI: | 10.1109/TR.2002.805788 |
