Abstract
In this article, we consider a new parametrization of the two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders lifetime distribution. Importantly, this re-parametrization fits the physics of studying phenomena since the proposed parameters characterize or specify the thickness of the sample and the nominal treatment loading on the sample, respectively. The usual shape and scale parameters of the distribution do not offer this physical interpretation. Instead of substitution method of the parameter estimators of the original Birnbaum-Saunders model into the new model, the statistical properties of the direct application of the standard methods of point estimation to the new parameters are investigated. In an effort to appraise the performance of proposed estimators in a practical setting, Monte-Carlo simulations are conducted for small, moderate and large sample sizes. Two real life examples based on published data are used to illustrate the suggested estimation methods. Some concluding remarks and areas for further research are also presented.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
