This paper aims to find a statistical model for the COVID-19 spread in the United Kingdom and Canada. We used an efficient and superior model for fitting the COVID 19 mortality rates in these countries by specifying an optimal statistical model. A new lifetime distribution with two-parameter is introduced by a combination of inverted Topp-Leone distribution and modified Kies family to produce the modified Kies inverted Topp-Leone (MKITL) distribution, which covers a lot of application that both the traditional inverted Topp-Leone and the modified Kies provide poor fitting for them. This new distribution has many valuable properties as simple linear representation, hazard rate function, and moment function. We made several methods of estimations as maximum likelihood estimation, least squares estimators, weighted least-squares estimators, maximum product spacing, Crame´r-von Mises estimators, and Anderson-Darling estimators methods are applied to estimate the unknown parameters of MKITL distribution. A numerical result of the Monte Carlo simulation is obtained to assess the use of estimation methods. also, we applied different data sets to the new distribution to assess its performance in modeling data.

The least squares estimators β i(N), j = 1, …, p, from N data points, of the autoregressive constants for a stationary autoregressive model are considered when the disturbances have a distribution attracted to a stable law of index α < 2. It is shown that N1/δ(β i(N) – β) converges almost surely to zero for any δ > α. Some comments are made on alternative definitions of the βi (N).

We introduce three new estimators of the drift parameter of a fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process. These estimators are based on modifications of the least-squares procedure utilizing the explicit formula for the process and covariance structure of a fractional Brownian motion. We demonstrate their advantageous properties in the setting of discrete-time observations with fixed mesh size, where they outperform the existing estimators. Numerical experiments by Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to confirm and illustrate theoretical findings. New estimation techniques can improve calibration of models in the form of linear stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion, which are used in diverse fields such as biology, neuroscience, finance and many others.
