Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Administrative burdens are deliberate policy choices, as governments can proactively design rules and procedures to shape burdens experienced by citizens. While existing research has examined the effects of burden reduction strategies, less is known about the factors driving burden reduction actions at the local level.

The new generalized inverse Weibull distribution
پژوهشهای ریاضی, 2015 Failure rate is one of the important concepts in reliability theory. In this paper, we introduce a new distribution function containing four parameters based on inverse Weibull distribution.

A note on empirical sample distribution of journal impact factors in major discipline groups [PDF]
What type of statistical distribution do the Journal Impact Factors follow? In the past, researchers have hypothesized various types of statistical distributions underlying the generation mechanism of journal impact factors. These are: lognormal, normal,

The Beta Generalized Inverse Weibull Distribution
British Journal of Mathematics & Computer Science, 2014 The beta generalized inverse Weibull distribution (BGIW) is suggested in this paper. The mathematical properties of the BGIW distribution are provided and the expression for the moment generating function is derived. Also, the analytical shapes of the corresponding probability density function, reliability function, hazard rate function, and mode are ...

Food Gifting and Household Food Security
Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Food gifting provides an important means of risk sharing in agrarian economies where farming households have limited access to formal credit and insurance markets. Food gifting is also an important source of food for households that are struggling with food scarcity.

Nonparametric Cure Models Through Extreme‐Value Tail Estimation
Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In survival analysis, the estimation of the proportion of subjects who will never experience the event of interest, termed the cure rate, has received considerable attention recently. Its estimation can be a particularly difficult task when follow‐up is not sufficient, that is, when the censoring mechanism has a smaller support than the ...

Computational Journal of Mathematical and Statistical SciencesIn this work, we propose a novel generator called the "extended odd inverse Weibull-generator" to obtain better distribution flexibility. This generator is considered as a generalization of the three well-known families.

The Beta Generalized Inverse Weibull Geometric Distribution
Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research, 2017 A new six-parameter distribution called the beta generalized inverse Weibull-geometric distribution is proposed. The new distribution is generated from the logit of a beta random variable and includes the generalized inverse Weibull geometric distribution.Various structural properties of the new distribution including explicit expressions for the ...
