Modified Frechet distributions and their generalized families
The Frechet distribution is used for modeling extreme events. There are different approaches to developing statistical distributions which include the use of translation methods, system of differential equations, quantile methods among others. Existing statistical distributions are also modified or generalized to accommodate other different types of data and improve goodness of fit to data. Addition of extra parameter(s) is one approach used for generalizing existing distributions such that the base distributions are embedded in the new generalized distributions. Some methods of parameter induction were used to obtained families of generalized distributions. Parameter(s) were also introduced into the probability distributions of the Frechet distribution to derive functions of its modified versions belonging to each of the generalized families derived. Further study is recommended on some of the modified Frechet distributions and their generalized families
Avaliação do Ensino de Empreendedorismo entre Estudantes Universitários por meio do Perfil Empreendedor
Entrepreneurship is a socioeconomic phenomenon that has been valued for its influence on the growth and
development of regional and national economies. The main promoter of this phenomenon are entrepreneurs,
subjects endowed with multiple features that make up their profiles. They are dynamic and results oriented,
benefitting from the fruits of their own personal efforts. Entrepreneurial education is highlighted as one of the most
efficient ways to promote an entrepreneurial culture and train new entrepreneurs. However, some difficulty has
been observed in assessing the effectiveness of teaching and learning this subject. The objective of this study was
to analyze, by means of multivariate techniques, an instrument whose function is to measure the learning of
Entrepreneurship, verifying the change in entrepreneur profiles of 407 college students participating or not in an
entrepreneurial training process. The results showed that students who participated in Entrepreneurship
educational training activities showed significant changes in their entrepreneurial profiles. The main contributions
showed growth in the Self-realization, Planner, Innovative and Risks Assumed dimensions
