The Rayleigh distribution was proposed in the fields of acoustics and optics by lord Rayleigh. It has wide applications in communication theory, such as description of instantaneous peak power of received radio signals, i.e. study of vibrations and waves. It has also been used for modeling of wave propagation, radiation, synthetic aperture radar images, and lifetime data in engineering and clinical studies. This work proposes two new extensions of the Rayleigh distribution, namely the Rayleigh inverted-Weibull (RIW) and the Rayleigh Weibull (RW) distributions. Several fundamental properties are derived in this study, these include reliability and hazard functions, moments, quantile function, random number generation, skewness, and kurtosis. The maximum likelihood estimators for the model parameters of the two proposed models are also derived along with the asymptotic confidence intervals. Two real data sets in communication systems and clinical trials are analyzed to illustrate the concept of the proposed extensions. The results demonstrated that the proposed extensions showed better fitting than other extensions and competing models.

In this article, we investigate a distribution called the generalized beta-exponential Weibull distribution. Beta exponential x family of link function which is generated from family of generalized distributions is used in generating the new distribution. Its density and hazard functions have different shapes and contains special case of distributions that have been proposed in literature such as beta-Weibull, beta exponential, exponentiated-Weibull and exponentiated-exponential distribution. Various properties of the distribution were obtained namely; moments, generating function, Renyi entropy and quantile function. Estimation of model parameters through maximum likelihood estimation method and observed information matrix are derived. Thereafter, the proposed distribution is illustrated with applications to two different real data sets. Lastly, the distribution clearly shown that is better fitted to the two data sets than other distributions.

This article uses the odd Lomax-G family of distributions to study a new extension of the Kumaraswamy distribution called “odd Lomax-Kumaraswamy distribution”. In this article, the density and distribution functions of the odd Lomax-Kumaraswamy distribution are defined and studied with many other properties of the distribution such as the ordinary moments, moment generating function, characteristic function, quantile function, reliability functions, order statistics and other useful measures. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood. The goodness-of-fit of the proposed distribution is demonstrated using two real data sets.

In this article, we present a new generalization of weighted Weibull distribution using Topp Leone family of distributions. We have studied some statistical properties of the proposed distribution including quantile function, moment generating function, probability generating function, raw moments, incomplete moments, probability, weighted moments, Rayeni and q th entropy. The have obtained numerical values of the various measures to see the eect of model parameters. Distribution of of order statistics for the proposed model has also been obtained. The estimation of the model parameters has been done by using maximum likelihood method. The eectiveness of proposed model is analyzed by means of a real data sets. Finally, some concluding remarks are given.

We study some mathematical properties of the beta generalized half-normal distribution recently proposed by Pescim et al. (2010). This model is quite flexible for analyzing positive real data since it contains as special models the half-normal, exponentiated half-normal, and generalized half-normal distributions. We provide a useful power series for the quantile function. Some new explicit expressions are derived for the mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, reliability, and entropy. We demonstrate that the density function of the beta generalized half-normal order statistics can be expressed as a mixture of generalized half-normal densities. We obtain two closed-form expressions for their moments and other statistical measures. The method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the model parameters censored data. The beta generalized half-normal model is modified to cope with long-term survivors may be present in the data. The usefulness of this distribution is illustrated in the analysis of four real data sets.

We proposed a so-called Beta Kumaraswamy Burr Type X distribution which gives the extension of the Kumaraswamy-G class of family distribution. Some properties of this proposed model were provided, like: the expansion of densities and quantile function. We considered the Bayes and maximum likelihood methods to estimate the parameters and also simulate the model parameters to validate the methods based on different set of true values. Some real data sets were employed to show the usefulness and flexibility of the model which serves as generalization to many sub-models in the field of engineering, medical, survival and reliability analysis.

We introduce a new class of continuous distributions called the complementary generalized transmuted Poisson-G family, which extends the transmuted class pioneered by Shaw and Buckley (2007). We provide some special models and derive general mathematical properties including quantile function, explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, Rényi and Shannon entropies and order statistics. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood. The flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets.

In this paper, we introduce a new four parameter continuous model, called the beta compound Rayleigh (BCR) distribution that extends the compound Rayleigh distribution. Basic properties of the proposed distribution such as; mean, variance, coefficient of variation, raw and incomplete moments, skewness, kurtosis, moment and probability generating functions, reliability analysis, Lorenz, Bonferroni and Zenga curves, Rényi of entropy, order statistics and record statistics are investigated. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimates and the observed information matrix for the model parameters. Two real data sets are used to illustrate the usefulness of the new model.

We propose and study the so-called extended generalized gamma geometric distribution. The proposed distribution has five parameters and it can be accommodate increasing, decreasing, bathtub and unimodal shaped hazard functions. The new distribution has a large number of well-known lifetime special sub-models such as the generalized gamma geometric, Weibull geometric, gamma geometric, exponential geometric, Rayleigh geometric, half-normal geometric among others. We provide a mathematical treatment of the new distribution including explicit expressions for moments, moment generating function, mean deviations, reliability and order statistics. The method of maximum likelihood and a Bayesian procedure are adopted for estimating the model parameters. Finally, an application of the new distribution is illustrated in a real data sets.

Unit distributions are commonly used in probability and statistics to describe useful quantities with values between 0 and 1, such as proportions, probabilities, and percentages. Some unit distributions are defined in a natural analytical manner, and the others are derived through the transformation of an existing distribution defined in a greater domain. In this article, we introduce the unit gamma/Gompertz distribution, founded on the inverse-exponential scheme and the gamma/Gompertz distribution. The gamma/Gompertz distribution is known to be a very flexible three-parameter lifetime distribution, and we aim to transpose this flexibility to the unit interval. First, we check this aspect with the analytical behavior of the primary functions. It is shown that the probability density function can be increasing, decreasing, “increasing-decreasing” and “decreasing-increasing”, with pliant asymmetric properties. On the other hand, the hazard rate function has monotonically increasing, decreasing, or constant shapes. We complete the theoretical part with some propositions on stochastic ordering, moments, quantiles, and the reliability coefficient. Practically, to estimate the model parameters from unit data, the maximum likelihood method is used. We present some simulation results to evaluate this method. Two applications using real data sets, one on trade shares and the other on flood levels, demonstrate the importance of the new model when compared to other unit models.
