In this paper, some properties of gamma-X family are discussed and a member of the family, the gamma-normal distribution, is studied in detail. The limiting behaviors, moments, mean deviations, dispersion, and Shannon entropy for the gamma-normal distribution are provided. Bounds for the...

In this paper, a new method is proposed for generating families of continuous distributions. A random variable <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$X$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, “the transformer”, is used to transform another random variable <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$T$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, “the transformed”. The resulting family, the <InlineEquation ID="IEq3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$T$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-<InlineEquation ID="IEq4"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$X$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> family of distributions, has a...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

Purpose: Dubai’s aviation industry is one of the most leading global aviation centers with a customer centric focus and tremendous challenges. The purpose of this paper is to determine the main Airport service quality (ASQ) drivers and evaluate the perception of travelers of Dubai...

Photovoltaic solar systems are widely used as a renewable energy resource worldwide due to the numerous negative impacts of the conventional-depleted energy resources. In the context of the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates has been a pioneer in regulating renewable energy and setting annual...

In this paper, we investigate a random contraction scheme proposed by Wesolowski and Ahsanullah (2004. Austral. NZ J. Statist. 46, 297-303). Random contraction is used in the record and order statistics settings. Some distributional recurrence relations were found for the probability density...
