A Generalization of the Weibull Distribution with Application to the Analysis of Survival Data
Abstract
The Weibull distribution, which is frequently used for modeling survival data, is embedded in a larger family obtained by introducing an additional shape parameter. This generalized family not only contains distributions with unimodal and bathtub hazard shapes, but also allows for a broader class of monotone hazard rates. Furthermore, the distributions in this family are analytically tractable and computationally manageable. The modeling and analysis of survival data using this family is discussed and illustrated in terms of a lifetime dataset and the results of a two-arm clinical trial.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
