Dear Brian and R team, I am Dr. Aleem and I want to participate as a student in GSoC 2014 in the development of R. I have extensive experience in Statistical research and development and I am a student of advanced statistics applications. I strongly believe that the inclusion of Modified Weibull-G Family Distribution in R will significanlty help the reseasrch community in doing reliability/survival analyses. I have expertise in these areas and I would like to be part of open source development and implement it. May I ask you for potential mentor(s) who can be my supervisor for GSoC 2014. The details of project is following:
*Title of project:* Implementation of Modified Weibull -G Family of Distributions in R *Description:* This project is intended for the improvements to the life time data construction for reliability analysis by using Modified Weibull -G Family of Distributions. The main goal of this project is to utilize maximum distributions by using the Modified Weibull -G Family of Distributions for reliability/survival analysis. The probability of a device not failing prior to some time " t" is reliability function i.e. R(t). The application of Modified Weibull-G Family of Probability Distributions in reliability and maintainability is widely used by the statistical research community to summarizes the shapes of the failure density, reliability and hazard rate functions and it is important to have such functionality in R package. *Importance of Project:* The packages like Matlab are missing the important packages required to study the application of Modified Weibull-G Family of Probability Distributions. The statistical research community widely rely on the application of Weibull -G Family of Distributions. Due to the importance of the Model and its application, the inclusion of such implementation in R package is the need of the time for statistical research community. Please advise me some mentor so that I can discuss the tasks and my deliverables. Please let me know if I need to add this project to the wiki page as this is my own student idea, Thank you.
