Abstract Low carbon ferro-manganese and graphite powders were admixed to Hoganas sponge, NC100.24, and water atomised, ABC 100.30 and ASC 100.29, iron powders - to produce three variants of sintered Fe-3Mn-0.8C steel. These were pressed into tensile and bend specimens at 660 MPa, sintered in semi-closed containers for 1 hour in dry nitrogen or hydrogen at 1120 or 1250°C and cooled at 64°C/min. Both tensile strength and transverse rupture strength were examined using Weibull statistics. This paper presents the results of a study to develop and evaluate goodness of fit tests for the two- and three-parameter Weibull distributions. The study was initiated because of discrepancies in published critical values for two-parameter Weibull distribution goodness of fit tests and the lack of general three-parameter Weibull distribution goodness of fit tests for properties of PM steels.

A class of goodness of fit tests for Marshal-Olkin Extended Rayleigh distribution with estimated parameters is proposed. The tests are based on the empirical distribution function. For determination of asymptotic percentage points, Kolomogorov-Sminrov, Cramer-von-Mises, Anderson-Darling,Watson, and Liao-Shimokawa test statistic are used. This article uses Monte Carlo simulations to obtain asymptotic percentage points for Marshal-Olkin extended Rayleigh distribution. Moreover, power of the goodness of fit test statistics is investigated for this lifetime model against several alternatives.

In this paper we study the different methods for estimation of the parameters of the Weibull distribution. These methods are compared in terms of their fits using the mean square error (MSE) and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) criteria to select the best method. Goodness-of-fit tests show that the Weibull distribution is a good fit to the squared returns series of weekly stock prices of Cornerstone Insurance PLC. Results show that the mean rank (MR) is the best method among the methods in the graphical and analytical procedures. Numerical simulation studies carried out show that the maximum likelihood estimation method (MLE) significantly outperformed other methods.
