This article presents a new method for generating distributions. This method combines two techniques—the transformed—transformer and alpha power transformation approaches—allowing for tremendous flexibility in the resulting distributions. The new approach is applied to introduce the alpha power Weibull—exponential distribution. The density of this distribution can take asymmetric and near-symmetric shapes. Various asymmetric shapes, such as decreasing, increasing, L-shaped, near-symmetrical, and right-skewed shapes, are observed for the related failure rate function, making it more tractable for many modeling applications. Some significant mathematical features of the suggested distribution are determined. Estimates of the unknown parameters of the proposed distribution are obtained using the maximum likelihood method. Furthermore, some numerical studies were carried out, in order to evaluate the estimation performance. Three practical datasets are considered to analyze the usefulness and flexibility of the introduced distribution. The proposed alpha power Weibull–exponential distribution can outperform other well-known distributions, showing its great adaptability in the context of real data analysis.

Abstract The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new class of continuous generalized exponential distributions, both for the univariate and bivariate cases. This new class of distributions contains some newly developed distributions as special cases, such as the univariate and also bivariate geometric generalized exponential distribution and the exponential-discrete generalized exponential distribution. Several properties of the proposed univariate and bivariate distributions, and their physical interpretations, are investigated. The univariate distribution has four parameters, whereas the bivariate distribution has five parameters. We propose to use an EM algorithm to estimate the unknown parameters. According to extensive simulation studies, we see that the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and the performance is quite satisfactory. A bivariate data set is analyzed and it is observed that the proposed models and the EM algorithm work quite well in practice.

This paper is concerned with the estimation of the Weibull generalized exponential distribution (WGED) parameters based on the adaptive Type-II progressive (ATIIP) censored sample. Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), maximum product spacing (MPS), and Bayesian estimation based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been determined to find the best estimation method. The Monte Carlo simulation is used to compare the three methods of estimation based on the ATIIP-censored sample, and also, we made a bootstrap confidence interval estimation. We will analyze data related to the distribution about single carbon fiber and electrical data as real data cases to show how the schemes work in practice.
