In this volume, several distinguished and active researchers will highlight some of the recent developments in statistical distribution theory, order statistics and their properties, and some inferential methods associated with them. The volume is classified into different parts according to the focus of the articles. Applications of the distributions and inferential procedures into survival analysis, reliability, quality control, and environmental problems will be highlighted. This comprehensive reference work will serve the statistical and applied mathematics communities as well as practitioners, researchers and grad students in applied probability and statistics, reliability engineering, and biostatistics.
