Exponentiated Distributions

Part of the book series: Atlantis Studies in Probability and Statistics ((ATLANTISSPS,volume 5))

Abstract

There are several ways of adding one or more parameters to a distribution function. Such an addition of parameters makes the resulting distribution richer and more flexible for modeling data. A positive parameter was added to a general survival function (SF) by Marshall and Olkin (1997).
