I have an assignment in which I have to show that Weibull Pareto belongs to exponential family and then mean and variance of term $a(x)$.
$g(x)=\frac{\beta c}{x}\{\beta \log (\frac{x}{\theta})\}^{c-1}\exp \{-(\beta \log (\frac{x}{\theta})^c\}$
For this I have used the structure given by Dobson, as $g(y;\tau)=\exp\{a(x)b(\tau)+c(\tau)d(x)\}$and got $a(x)=\log(x)-\log (\lambda)$, $c(\tau) =-(\alpha \log (\frac{x}{\lambda}))$, $b(\tau) = (c-1)\log (\alpha)$ and $d(x)= -\log (x)$. where $\lambda=\beta c$. Kindly check is this correct.

  • $\begingroup$ What are $\tau$ and $\lambda$? They don't appear in your definition of $g$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ actually $\tau$ represents all parameters. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Ah. $τ= (β, θ, c)^\top$? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Glen yes. $g(y; \tau)$ is a formula $\endgroup$
