Models with bathtub-shaped failure rate function are useful in reliability analysis and particularly in reliability related decision making and cost analysis. A modified Weibull distribution (MWD) was recently proposed by Lai et al.(2003) as a generalization of the two-parameter Weibull distribution....

The main object of this book is to make statistical inferences (recurrence relations, estimation and prediction) for inverse Weibull model using generalized order statistics. This book has been organized and presented in six Chapters. Basic concepts and some other definitions and notations are given....
