Its density and hazard rate functions are capable of assuming different shapes that depict its usefulness in modeling different data generating processes. It is compatible with two datasets and provided improvement in fit when compared with the fit of the Weibull distribution for the same datasets. It, therefore, holds a good prospect for practical applications.

When such a process is hierarchical, with all individuals released into the first compartment, the resulting distribution of individuals over the various compartments is multinomial. This process is applied to the migration of Onchocerca volvulus in simuliids and appears to represent successfully the early migration from the stomach through the abdomen to the thorax, provided that allowances are made for the engorgement period and the encapsulation of the blood meal by a peritrophic membrane.
