Statistical inference for Birnbaum-Saunders and Weibull distributions fitted to grouped and ungrouped data

For a given sample of grouped and ungrouped (raw) data, the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator is obtained using iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson (NR), which may not be converged always. Three-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) and Weibull distributions are frequently used in forestry and en...
