Researchers introduced a new flexible Weibull extension distribution to model extreme events. This novel probability distribution improves the analysis of extreme value data in finance, engineering, and meteorology.
Area of Science:
- Statistics
- Probability Theory
- Extreme Value Theory
Background:
- Extreme events pose significant societal and scientific challenges.
- Traditional probability distributions often fail to adequately model clustered extreme observations.
- There is a need for flexible distributions to analyze extreme value data across various fields.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a new, flexible probability distribution for modeling extreme events.
- To derive the distributional properties of the proposed model.
