The present book is the outcome of the research work carried out by the
main author in the form of PhD work under the supervision of the
co-author. The book consists of seven chapters followed by a
bibliography. Sufficient review of the concerned literature has been
done. A generalized gamma type model has been proposed and its
statistical analysis has been carried out with its various
characteristics. The proposed model is useful for the analysis of life
time data related to engineering, medical and bio-medical sciences.
Several applications of the proposed model have been outlined. The book
includes Bayes estimation of the parameters of the proposed model,
reliability and hazard rate functions and some tests of significance
regarding the parameters. A mixture model has also been developed from
the proposed model and some of its characteristics have been
investigated. The present book may be useful for the researchers working
in life testing.
