This article introduces a two-parameter flexible extension of the Burr-Hatke distribution using the inverse-power transformation. The failure rate of the new distribution can be an increasing shape, a decreasing shape, or an upside-down bathtub shape. Some of its mathematical properties are calculated. Ten estimation methods, including classical and Bayesian techniques, are discussed to estimate the model parameters. The Bayes estimators for the unknown parameters, based on the squared error, general entropy, and linear exponential loss functions, are provided. The ranking and behavior of these methods are assessed by simulation results with their partial and overall ranks. Finally, the flexibility of the proposed distribution is illustrated empirically using two real-life datasets. The analyzed data shows that the introduced distribution provides a superior fit than some important competing distributions such as the Weibull, Fréchet, gamma, exponential, inverse log-logistic, inverse weighted Lindley, inverse Pareto, inverse Nakagami-M, and Burr-Hatke distributions.

In this paper, a new two-parameter generalized Ramos–Louzada distribution is proposed. The proposed model provides more flexibility in modeling data with increasing, decreasing, J-shaped, and reversed-J shaped hazard rate functions. Several statistical properties of the model were derived. The unknown parameters of the new distribution were explored using eight frequentist estimation approaches. These approaches are important for developing guidelines to choose the best method of estimation for the model parameters, which would be of great interest to practitioners and applied statisticians. Detailed numerical simulations are presented to examine the bias and the mean square error of the proposed estimators. The best estimation method and ordering performance of the estimators were determined using the partial and overall ranks of all estimation methods for various parameter combinations. The performance of the proposed distribution is illustrated using two real datasets from the fields of medicine and geology, and both datasets show that the new model is more appropriate as compared to the Marshall–Olkin exponential, exponentiated exponential, beta exponential, gamma, Poisson–Lomax, Lindley geometric, generalized Lindley, and Lindley distributions, among others.

In this article, we introduce a new three-parameter distribution called the extended inverse-Gompertz (EIGo) distribution. The implementation of three parameters provides a good reconstruction for some applications. The EIGo distribution can be seen as an extension of the inverted exponential, inverse Gompertz, and generalized inverted exponential distributions. Its failure rate function has an upside-down bathtub shape. Various statistical and reliability properties of the EIGo distribution are discussed. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum-likelihood and Bayesian methods under Type-II censored samples, where the parameters are explained using gamma priors. The performance of the proposed approaches is examined using simulation results. Finally, two real-life engineering data sets are analyzed to illustrate the applicability of the EIGo distribution, showing that it provides better fits than competing inverted models such as inverse-Gompertz, inverse-Weibull, inverse-gamma, generalized inverse-Weibull, exponentiated inverted-Weibull, generalized inverted half-logistic, inverted-Kumaraswamy, inverted Nadarajah–Haghighi, and alpha-power inverse-Weibull distributions.

<abstract> <p>Jaya algorithm is a highly effective recent metaheuristic technique. This article presents a simple, precise, and faster method to estimate stress strength reliability for a two-parameter, Weibull distribution with common scale parameters but different shape parameters. The three most widely used estimation methods, namely the maximum likelihood estimation, least squares, and weighted least squares have been used, and their comparative analysis in estimating reliability has been presented. The simulation studies are carried out with different parameters and sample sizes to validate the proposed methodology. The technique is also applied to real-life data to demonstrate its implementation. The results show that the proposed methodology's reliability estimates are close to the actual values and proceeds closer as the sample size increases for all estimation methods. Jaya algorithm with maximum likelihood estimation outperforms the other methods regarding the bias and mean squared error.</p> </abstract>

As it is often unavoidable to obtain incomplete data in life testing and survival analysis, research on censoring data is becoming increasingly popular. In this paper, the problem of estimating the entropy of a two-parameter Lomax distribution based on generalized progressively hybrid censoring is considered. The maximum likelihood estimators of the unknown parameters are derived to estimate the entropy. Further, Bayesian estimates are computed under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions, including squared error, linex, and general entropy loss function. As we cannot obtain analytical Bayesian estimates directly, the Lindley method and the Tierney and Kadane method are applied. A simulation study is conducted and a real data set is analyzed for illustrative purposes.

In this paper, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced; the new model is a generalization of the log-logistic (LL) model, and it is called the alpha power transformed log-logistic (APTLL) distribution. The APTLL distribution is more flexible than some generalizations of log-logistic distribution. We derived some mathematical properties including moments, moment-generating function, quantile function, Rényi entropy, and order statistics of the new model. The model parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method of estimation. The simulation study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the estimates. Finally, we used one real-life dataset to show the flexibility of the APTLL distribution.

In this paper, we talk about a mixture of one-parameter Lindley and inverse Weibull distributions (MLIWD). First, We introduce and discuss the MLIWD. Then, we study the main statistical properties of the proposed mixture and provide some graphs of both the density and the associated hazard rate functions. After that, we estimate the unknown parameters of the proposed mixture via two estimation methods, namely, the generalized method of moments and maximum likelihood. In addition, we compare the estimation methods via some simulation studies to determine the efficacy of the two estimation methods. Finally, we evaluate the performance and behavior of the proposed mixture with different numerical examples and real data application in survival analysis.

In this study, a new flexible lifetime model called Burr XII moment exponential (BXII-ME) distribution is introduced. We derive some of its mathematical properties including the ordinary moments, conditional moments, reliability measures and characterizations. We employ different estimation methods such as the maximum likelihood, maximum product spacings, least squares, weighted least squares, Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling methods for estimating the model parameters. We perform simulation studies on the basis of the graphical results to see the performance of the above estimators of the BXII-ME distribution. We verify the potentiality of the BXII-ME model via monthly actual taxes revenue and fatigue life applications.

In the present paper, we consider the estimation problem for the scaled Muth distribution under Type-II censoring scheme. In order to estimate the model parameters α and β, the maximum likelihood, the least-squares, and the maximum spacing estimators are derived. To show estimation efficiencies of the estimators obtained with this paper, we present an exten- sive Monte-Carlo simulation study in which the estimators are compared according to bias and mean squared error criteria. Furthermore, we evaluate the applicability of the scaled Muth distribution by taking into account both full and Type-II censored data situations by an anal- ysis conducted on a real-life dataset.

<abstract><p>In this paper, a flexible version of the Fréchet distribution called the extended Weibull–Fréchet (EWFr) distribution is proposed. Its failure rate has a decreasing shape, an increasing shape, and an upside-down bathtub shape. Its density function can be a symmetric shape, an asymmetric shape, a reversed-J shape and J shape. Some mathematical properties of the EWFr distribution are explored. The EWFr parameters are estimated using several frequentist estimation approaches. The performance of these methods is addressed using detailed simulations. Furthermore, the best approach for estimating the EWFr parameters is determined based on partial and overall ranks. Finally, the performance of the EWFr distribution is studied using two real-life datasets from the medicine and engineering sciences. The EWFr distribution provides a superior fit over other competing Fréchet distributions such as the exponentiated-Fréchet, beta-Fréchet, Lomax–Fréchet, and Kumaraswamy Marshall–Olkin Fréchet.</p></abstract>

The author uses neural networks to estimate how many defects are hidden in a software document. Input for the models are metrics that get collected when effecting a standard quality assurance technique on the document, a software inspection. For inspections, the empirical data sets typically are small. The author identifies two key ingredients for a successful application of neural networks to small data sets: Adapting the size, complexity, and input dimension of the networks to the amount of information available for training; and using Bayesian techniques instead of cross-validation for determining model parameters and selecting the final model. For inspections, the machine learning approach is highly successful and outperforms the previously existing defect estimation methods in software engineering by a factor of 4 in accuracy on the standard benchmark. The author’s approach is well applicable in other contexts that are subject to small training data sets.
