Fatigue Life (Birnbaum-Saunders) Distribution#

This distribution’s pdf is the average of the inverse-Gaussian (μ=1) and reciprocal inverse-Gaussian pdf (μ=1) . We follow the notation of JKB here with β=S. There is one shape parameter c>0, and the support is x0.

f(x;c)=x+12c2πx3exp((x1)22xc2)F(x;c)=Φ(1c(x1x))G(q;c)=14[cΦ1(q)+c2(Φ1(q))2+4]2
