dc.description.abstract | In view of the growing importance of stochastic earthquake modeling in disaster preparation, the present study introduces a new family of exponentiated Weibull distribution and examines its performance in earthquake interevent time analysis in a stationary point process. This three-parameter (one scale and two shapes) distribution not only covers the Weibull distribution, exponentiated exponential distribution, Burr-type X distribution, Rayleigh distribution, and exponential distribution as special sub-families, but also offers monotone and non-monotone hazard shapes. Here we first describe some of the exponentiated Weibull distribution properties, such as the survival rate, mode, median, and hazard rate. We then provide statistical inference and goodness-of-fit measures to examine the suitability of exponentiated Weibull model in comparison with other popular models, like exponential, gamma, lognormal, Weibull, and exponentiated exponential. Finally, we conduct real data analysis to assess the usefulness and flexibility of exponentiated Weibull distribution in the context of seismic interevent time modeling and associated applications. Results suggest that the exponentiated Weibull distribution has a comparable performance with other popular distributions of its nature. However, further investigations are necessary to confirm the importance and flexibility of exponentiated Weibull distribution in statistical seismology. | en_US |
