  1. 1For the exponentiated exponential model, the parametric uncertainties cannot be computed as the trigamma function \(\psi ^{\prime}\left( {\beta - 1} \right)\) is not defined for \(\hat{\beta } < 1\) (see Pasari and Dikshit 2015, 2015a, 2015b; Pasari 2018)
  2. 2For the computation of asymptotic standard deviation and 90% confidence interval of the model parameters, we followed a surrogate approach of Fisher Information Matrix and associated Cramer–Rao lower bound theorem (see Pasari and Dikshit 2015, 2015a, 2015b; Pasari 2018)
