Abstract

This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining confidence intervals or tests of significance for the parameters or other characteristics of the generalized gamma distribution. Procedures are given whereby confidence intervals for the parameters, quantiles or the reliability (survivor) function of the distribution can be obtained, when the generalized gamma index parameter is known. Their application in studying robustness and model-dependence in lifetime distributions is also discussed.
