Research Program and Goals:

In the recent past, I worked on the class of Lagrange probability models. I conducted research on estimation problems, random variate generation and good-of-fit tests. In collaboration with Professor P.C. Consul, we defined new members of Lagrange distributions. I have collaborated with a number of other researchers in developing non-linear regression models based on the class of Lagrange distributions. Along with my work on Lagrange family, I am working with Professor Carl Lee on the class of generalized normal and generalized exponential distributions.
