This section describes the probability distributions available in the RELIABILITY procedure for probability plotting and parameter estimation. Refer to Lawless (1982, p. 240) for a description of the ...

In this paper, we give new characterizations of exponential distributions on positive semigroups and we study the corresponding gamma distributions that govern semigroup products of independent and ...

A seven-parameter family of bivariate probability distributions is developed which allows for any gamma marginal distributions, any associated correlation (positive or negative), and a range of ...

To find an appropriate model for a process distribution, you should consider curves from several distribution families. As shown in this example, you can use the HISTOGRAM statement to fit more than ...
