Estimation of extreme percentiles in Birnbaum–Saunders distributions

The Birnbaum–Saunders distribution has recently received considerable attention in the statistical literature, including some applications in the environmental sciences. Several authors have generalized this distribution, but these generalizations are still inadequate for predicting extreme percentiles. In this paper, we consider a variation of the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution, which enables the prediction of extreme percentiles as well as …
