[Invited tutorial] Birnbaum–Saunders regression models: a comparative evaluation of three approaches

This study investigates three regression models based on the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution. The first model is obtained directly through the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution; the second model is obtained via a logarithmic transformation in the response variable; and the third model employs a mean parametrization of this distribution. The primary objective of this study is to compare the performance of the three Birnbaum–Saunders regression …
