Abstract

We are able to derive for the first time the simplest forms of characteristic functions (CHFs) and moment generating functions (MGF)of type-2(Fréchet)and type-3 (reversed Weibull)in explicit closed forms by direct and unique methodology. CHF and MGF have wide applications in statistical theories such as in inversion and convolution.
