Opis

Advances on Models, Characterizations and Applications is timely reference that offers up-to-date information on many recent advances in the field. Comprising fourteen self-contained chapters contributed by internationally renowned experts, it delineates recent developments on the characterizations and other important properties of several distributions, inferential issues related to these models, and several applications of the models to real-world problems. Each chapter is rich with references for further study or more in-depth information on each topic. As a whole, the book reflects the deep importance of the properties of statistical distributions and is a wecome addition to the literature.
