No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-04-02; In this article, we propose a lifetime model for bivariate survival data with a non-default rate. Our approach enables different underlying activation mechanisms that lead to the event of interest. A number of competing causes which may be responsible for the occurrence of the event of interest are assu...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2013-01-01; In this paper, we introduced a new distribution for the minimum service time in the system with a superserver, the Minimum-Conway-Maxwell-Poisson- exponential distribution (or MINCOMPE distribution). The service was attached to the arrival. Owing this fact, the service finishes when a customer arrives. ...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-05-01; The Weibull distribution plays an important role in reliability and quality control monitoring. This model has been widely used to describe the process capability index (PCI) when data do not follow a normal distribution. In this scenario, the current studies focus on estimating the parameters using cla...

This new model is an extension of the promotion time cure rate model. Furthermore, we extend the model to the regression model to evaluate the effect of covariates in the cure fraction. An expectation-maximization alg...
Justification and Objectives: Brazil lacks consistent epidemiological data on the respiratory morbidity of children and older adults, which makes it difficult to plan and execute effective preventive and health promotion actions. The objective of this study was to analyze the adjustments of distributions (Weibull, Normal, Gamma, Logistic) of historical series of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases (total ...
