“…The 2 nd data set is reported by Aarset (26) Dallas (1) , which corresponds to the 30 failure times of air-conditioned system of an airplane. The data are as follows: 23, 261, 87, 7, 120, 14, 62, 47, 225, 71, 246, 21, 42, 20, 5, 12, 120, 11, 3, 14, 71, 11, 14, 11, 16, 90, 1, 16, 52, and 95. We have compared BL2PFD with the alpha power transformed inverse exponential (APTIE) distribution by Dey et al (27) , Marshall Olkin length biased exponential (MOLBE) distribution by ul Haq et al (28) , APT inverted Weibull (APTIW) distribution by Ramadan and Magdy (29) , APT Pareto (APTP) distribution by Ihtisham et al (30) and Alpha Power Transformed Inverse Lomax distribution (APTIL) by ZeinEldin et al (31) . The TTT-plot is displayed in Figure 5 , which indicates that the HRF associated with the data set has a bathtub shape, since the plot shows a first concave curvature.…”
