27 / 11
Keywords:
Bathtub hazard rate; Lifetime data; Lomax distribution; Monotone hazard rate; Weibull distribution; Weibull lomax distribution.Abstract
In this paper, we reviewed the various works by different authors on Weibull Lomax distribution. The historical research based on some classical papers as well as ongoing research and advancements on Weibull Lomax distribution and its applications based on some latest papers were thoroughly reviewed and discussed in this paper. We mainly focused on various extensions of Weibull and Lomax models that have been used for developing a bathtub-shaped hazard function model for lifetime data. We also gave importance to study about the wide real applications of Weibull Lomax distribution in various fields including survival and lifetime data.
