TRANSMUTED HALFNORMAL DISTRIBUTION: PROPERTIES AND APPLICATION

Abstract

In this research, we generalize the Half normal distribution which is a special case of folded normal and truncated normal distributions. We provide a comprehensive description of the statistical properties of the subject distribution along with its reliability behavior. The usefulness of the transmuted Half normal distribution for modelling reliability data is illustrated.

Keywords: Half normal Distribution, Hazard Rate function, Reliability function, Order Statistics and Parameter Estimation
