The two-parameter gamma function (G2P) design storm is a recent methodology used to obtain synthetic hyetographs especially developed for urban hydrology applications. Further analytical developments on the G2P design storm are presented herein, linking the rainfall convectivity n-index with the shape parameter of the design storm. This step can provide a useful basis for future easy-to-handle rainfall inputs in the context of regional urban drainage studies. A practical application is presented herein for the case of Valencia (Spain), based on high-resolution time series of rainfall intensity. The resulting design storm captures certain internal statistics and features observed in the fine-scale rainfall intensity historical records. On the other hand, a direct, simple method is formulated to derivate the design storm from the intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves, making use of the analytical relationship with the n-index.

A product acceptance process is an inspecting one in statistical quality control or reliability tests, which are used to make decisions about accepting or rejecting lots of products to be submitted. This process is important for industrial and business purposes of quality management. To determine the optimal parameters of the product acceptance process under parametric uncertainty of underlying lifetime models (in terms of misclassification probability), a new optimization technique is proposed. The most popular lifetime distribution used in the field of product acceptance is a two-parameter Weibull distribution, with the assumption that the shape parameter is known. Such oversimplified assumptions can facilitate the follow-up analyses, but may overlook the fact that the lifetime distribution can significantly affect the estimation of the failure rate of a product. Therefore, the situations are also considered when both Weibull distribution parameters are unknown. An illustrative numerical example is given.

In order to make statistic analysis on lifetime data for web game, the two-parameter Weibull distribution was applied to describe its distribution. The shape parameter and the scale parameter were given by maximum likelihood estimation. When a web game followed Weibull distribution, the lifetime parameters are calculated via Matlab. The results show that the proposed model is appropriate to estimate the web game lifetime.

This paper considers the Bayesian point estimation of the scale parameter for a two-parameter gamma life-testing model in presence of several outlier observations in the data. The Bayesian analysis is carried out under the assumption of squared error loss function and fixed or random shape parameter.

Shape parameter differential equations are developed for turbulent boundary layers in pressure gradients incorporating two-parameter velocity profiles. Energy and entrainment methods are included. Shear stress factors are explicitly developed for equilibrium and quasi-equilibrium conditions.
