“…The distribution of the error term defines the regression model, with f () fitted to normal, logistic or extreme‐value densities corresponding to lognormal, log‐logistic, or exponential/Weibull regressions, respectively. Previous studies adopting survival analysis in the context of entertainment industries have tended to use either the Weibull distribution (e.g., De Vany & Walls, 1997; Deuchert, Adjamah, & Pauly, 2005; Kaimann, Stroh‐Maraun, & Cox, 2018) or the exponential function (e.g., Kaimann et al, 2018; McKenzie, 2009). However, Clement, Fabel, and Schmidt‐Stolting (2006) suggest that the diffusion of music over the product lifecycle necessitates the use of more flexible survival models and instead recommend the use of log‐logistic models.…”
