Let X1, n ≤ ... ≤ Xn,n, be the order statistics of a sample of size n from a distribution function F. Desu (1971) showed that if for all n ≥ 2, nX1,n is identically distributed as X1,1, then F is the ...

In generalized linear models, the response is assumed to possess a probability distribution of the exponential form. That is, the probability density of the response Y for continuous response ...

Life data are sometimes modeled with the gamma distribution. Although PROC GENMOD does not analyze censored data or provide other useful lifetime distributions such as the Weibull or lognormal, it can ...
