Abstract

AbstractThis paper review works on some length-biased distributions. The length-biased distributions received much attention in the literature since they occur naturally in many situations where it is not possible to work with a truly random sample from the population of interest. Some important length-biased distributions studied in the recent literature are length-biased versions of Inverse Gaussian, Log-normal, Beta Type I and Type II, Weighted Generalized Rayleigh and Birnbaum-Saunders distributions are discussed.Keywords: Length-biased distribution, method of moments, maximum likelihood, and weight functionCite this ArticleJismi Mathew.
