The Weibull distribution has been one of the most cited lifetime
distributions in reliability engineering. Over the last decade, many
generalizations and extensions of the Weibull have been proposed in
order to provide more flexibility than the traditional version when it
comes to modeling lifetime data in diverse fields. This book offers an
update on these developments, presenting the essential properties of
each model. Several plots of density and hazard rate functions are also
included, and a brief outline of known application(s) for each model is
also given.
