Topp–Leone Family of Distributions: Some Properties and Application (2016, unknown): “(1.2) Since its emergence the distribution has been studied by number of authors, see for example Ghitany et al. (2005), van Dorp and Kotz (2006), Zhou et al. (2006), Kotz and Seier (2007), Nadarajah (2009), and Genç (2012).”
An Extension of Chen’s Family of Survival Distributions with Bathtub Shape or Increasing Hazard Rate Function (2015, background): “The Weibull density, however, may not produce bathtub hazard rates that may be required for modeling in certain situations (see Rajarshi and Rajarshi, 1988; Nadarajah, 2009).”
The Topp-Leone Generated Weibull Distribution: Regression Model, Characterizations and Applications (2016, background): “A state-of-the-art survey on the class of such generalized Weibull distributions can be found in Lai, Xie, & Murthy (2001) and Nadarajah (2009). Some generalization of the Weibull distribution studied in the literature includes, but are not limited to, exponentiated Weibull (Mudholkar & Srivastava, ”
