Abstract

Truncated distributions play a significant role in analyzing problems of epidemiology, material science, production process, process optimization, psychology, social sciences, statistics and quality improvement, where one wants to study about data which lie above or below a given threshold or within a specified range. A reason for truncation is that there is no interest beyond the truncation point. Right truncation happens when the occurrence is limited to values which lie above the truncation point. In this article, we develop and analyze a right truncated version of hypoexponential distribution beyond the interval $(0, b)$. Various distributional and reliability properties of the proposed distribution are investigated. Using vinyl chloride data, a real data analysis is carried out.
