On the Marshall–Olkin extended Weibull distribution (2013, background): “For some extended forms of the Weibull distribution and applications, the reader is referred to Xie et al. (2002), Bebbington et al. (2007), the excellent book by Murthy et al. (2004), Cordeiro et al. (2010) and Silva et al. (2010).”
The generalized inverse Lindley distribution: A new inverse statistical model for the study of upside-down bathtub data (2016, background): “For this reason,Mudholkar and Srivastava (1993), Xie and Lai (1996), and Xie et al. (2002), being increasingly attracted toward the nonmonotone hazard rate data, extended theWeibull distribution tomake it compatible with bathtub-shaped hazard rate data.”
The exponentiated generalized gamma distribution with application to lifetime data (2011, background): “8 , the modified Weibull (MW) distribution proposed by Lai et al.”
The Kumaraswamy-Log-Logistic Distribution (2012, background): “…introduced by Mudholkar et al. (1995, 1996), the additive Weibull distribution presented by Xie and Lai (1995), the extended Weibull distribution (Xie et al. 2002), the modified Weibull (MW) distribution proposed by Lai et al. (2003), the beta exponential (BE) distribution introduced by…”
A Family of Lifetime Distributions (2012, background): “[11] generalized the Chen [12] distribution by adding the lacking scale parameter, thus creating a three-parameter Weibull distribution; although the variety of shapes of the reliability curves was not enriched, the resulting model provided better fit to real data.”
Statistical Analysis of a Weibull Extension Model (2003, methodology): “When 1, the failure rate function is an increasing function; when 0 < < 1, the failure rate function has bathtub-shape property (Xie et al., 2002).”
Alpha power Weibull distribution: Properties and applications (2017, background): “Also, Xie and Lai (1995) introduced the additive Weibull distribution, the Weibull extension distribution proposed by Xie et al. (2002), generalized modified Weibull (MW) distribution by Jalmar et al. (2008), the exponential-Weibull distribution by Cordeiro et al. (2014), and beta Sarhan–Zaindin MW…”
