Description

As a continuation of Univariate Discrete Distributions, second edition, this book is the first of two volumes to discuss continuous univariate distributions. The second edition of Continuous Univariate Distributions differs from the first, published in 1970, in two important aspects: (1) Professor N. Balakrishnan has joined the two original authors as a coauthor. (2) Because of substantial advances in theory, methodology, and application of continuous distributions, especially gamma, Weibull, and inverse Gaussian during the last two decades, we have decided to move the chapter on extreme value distributions to the next volume. The chapter on gamma distributions has been split into two chapters, one dealing only with chi-squared distributions. Even so, as in the revision of the volume on Discrete Distributions, the great amount of additional information accruing since the first edition has led to a substantial increase in length.
