摘要：The Birnbaum–Saunders model is a life distribution originated from a problem of ma-terial fatigue that has been largely studied and applied in recent decades. A randomvariable following the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution can be stochastically repre-sented by another random variable used as basis. Then, the Birnbaum–Saundersmodel can be generalized by switching the distribution of the basis variable using di-verse arguments allowing to construct more general classes of models. Extreme valuedistributions are useful to determinate the probability of events that are larger orsmaller than others previously observed. In this paper, we propose, characterize, im-plement and apply an extreme value version of the Birnbaum–Saunders distribution
