The article presents an extension of the Gompertz-Makeham distribution using the Lomax generator of probability distributions. This generalization of the Gompertz-Makeham distribution provides a more skewed and flexible compound model called Lomax Gompertz-Makeham distribution. The paper derives and discusses some Mathematical and Statistical properties of the new distribution. The unknown parameters of the new model are estimated via the method of maximum likelihood estimation. In conclusion, the new distribution is applied to two real life datasets together with two other related models to check its flexibility or performance and the results indicate that the proposed extension is more flexible compared to the other two distributions considered in the paper based on the two datasets used.

This article introduces and studies a new probability distribution called “Transmuted Power Gompertz distribution”. It looks at the properties of the transmuted power Gompertz distribution. The article also estimates the four parameters of the new model using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The article further evaluates the goodness-of-fit of the proposed distribution compared to other distributions by means of applications of the model to two real life datasets and the result show that the proposed distribution is more flexible than the fitted existing distributions.

AbstractIn this work a procedure is proposed to determine an optimal distribution of b-values in diffusion MRI measu-rements. The optimization procedure uses a method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation which can operate on any given number of b-values, values of the diffusion coefficients (ADC) and measurement noise strengths. Optimal b-values are calculated for white and gray brain matter. An optimi-zation for more than one ADC is demonstrated using multiple target values.

Developing new compound distributions which are more flexible than the existing distributions have become the new trend in distribution theory. In this present study, the Lomax distribution was extended using the Gompertz family of distribution, its resulting densities and statistical properties were carefully derived, and the method of maximum likelihood estimation was proposed in estimating the model parameters. A simulation study to assess the performance of the parameters of Gompertz Lomax distribution was provided and an application to real life data was provided to assess the potentials of the newly derived distribution. Excerpt from the analysis indicates that the Gompertz Lomax distribution performed better than the Beta Lomax distribution, Weibull Lomax distribution, and Kumaraswamy Lomax distribution.

ABSTRACTThis articles introduces a new lifetime model called the generalized transmuted Kumaraswamy distribution which extends the Kumaraswamy distribution from the family proposed by Nofal et al., (2017). We provide hazard and survival functions of the proposed distribution. The statistical properties of the proposed model are provided and the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) was proposed in estimating its parameters.

AbstractThis article introduces a new lifetime distribution called the transmuted Erlang-truncated exponential (TETE) distribution. This new distribution generalizes the two parameter Erlang-truncated exponential (ETE) distribution. Closed form expressions for some of its distributional and reliability properties are provided. The method of maximum likelihood estimation was proposed for estimating the parameters of the TETE distribution. The hazard rate function of the TETE distribution can be constant, increasing or decreasing depending on the value of the transmutation parameter
