Kaniadakis Weibull distribution

The Kaniadakis Weibull distribution (or κ-Weibull distribution) is a probability distribution arising as a generalization of the Weibull distribution.[1][2] It is one example of a Kaniadakis κ-distribution. The κ-Weibull distribution has been adopted successfully for describing a wide variety of complex systems in seismology, economy, epidemiology, among many others.

Applications

edit

The κ-Weibull distribution has been applied in several areas, such as:

  • In economy, for analyzing personal income models, in order to accurately describing simultaneously the income distribution among the richest part and the great majority of the population.[1][4][5]
  • In seismology, the κ-Weibull represents the statistical distribution of magnitude of the earthquakes distributed across the Earth, generalizing the Gutenberg–Richter law,[6] and the interval distributions of seismic data, modeling extreme-event return intervals.[7][8]
  • In epidemiology, the κ-Weibull distribution presents a universal feature for epidemiological analysis.[9]
