Abstract
Two-parameter Birnbaum-Saunders distribution has been widely studied in Reliability Theory due to its important Engineering applications. This article proposes a novel confidence intervals construction for the shape and scale parameters of the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution. We apply the following two methods: The generalized pivotal approach and the percentile bootstrap approach. The Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the performance of the confidence intervals. We compare the coverage probability and average width of the proposed confidence intervals with already known. Simulation results have shown that the proposed confidence intervals perform well in terms of coverage probability and average length for various sample sizes. The illustrative example and some concluding remarks are finally 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
