In this paper, Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods are used for parameter estimation of weighted Rayleigh (WR) distribution. Posterior distributions are derived under the assumption of informative and non-informative priors. The Bayes estimators and associated risks are obtained under different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. Results are compared on the basis of posterior risk and mean square error using simulated and real life data sets. The study depicts that in order to estimate the scale parameter of the weighted Rayleigh distribution use of entropy loss function under Gumbel type II prior can be preferred. Also, Bayesian method of estimation having least values of mean squared error gives better results as compared to maximum likelihood method of estimation.

In this paper, a new family of polyno-expo-trigonometric distributions is presented and investigated. A special case using the Weibull distribution, with three parameters, is considered as statistical model for lifetime data. The estimation of the parameters is performed with the maximum likelihood method. A numerical simulation study verifies that the bias and the mean squared error of the maximum likelihood estimators tend to zero as the sample size is increased. Three real life datasets are then analyzed. We show that our model has a good fit in comparison to the other well-known powerful models in the literature.

Family Of Distributions

For bounded unit interval, we propose a new Kumaraswamy generalized (G) family of distributions through a new generator which could be an alternate to the Kumaraswamy-G family proposed earlier by Cordeiro and de Castro in 2011. This new generator can also be used to develop alternate G-classes such as beta-G, McDonald-G, Topp-Leone-G, Marshall-Olkin-G, and Transmuted-G for bounded unit interval. Some mathematical properties of this new family are obtained and maximum likelihood method is used for the estimation of G-family parameters. We investigate the properties of one special model called the new Kumaraswamy-Weibull (NKwW) distribution. Parameters of NKwW model are estimated by using maximum likelihood method, and the performance of these estimators are assessed through simulation study. Two real life data sets are analyzed to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the proposed model. In fact, this model outperforms some generalized Weibull models such as the Kumaraswamy-Weibull, McDonald-Weibull, beta-Weibull, exponentiated-generalized Weibull, gamma-Weibull, odd log-logistic-Weibull, Marshall-Olkin-Weibull, transmuted-Weibull and exponentiated-Weibull distributions when applied to these data sets. The bivariate extension of the family is also proposed, and the estimation of parameters is dealt. The usefulness of the bivariate NKwW model is illustrated empirically by means of a real-life data set.

New Distribution

Many Statisticians have developed and proposed new distributions by extending the existing distributions. The distributions are extended by adding one or more parameters to the baseline distributions to make it more flexible in fitting different kinds of data. In this study, a new four-parameter lifetime distribution called the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy Lomax distribution was introduced by using a family of distributions which has been proposed in the literature. Some mathematical properties of the distribution such as the moments, moment generating function, quantile function, survival, hazard, reversed hazard and odds functions were presented. The estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood method was discussed. Three real life data sets representing the failure times of the air conditioning system of an air plane, the remission times (in months) of a random sample of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) bladder cancer patients and Alumina (Al2O3) data were used to show the fit and flexibility of the new distribution over some lifetime distributions in literature. The results showed that the new distribution fits better in the three datasets considered.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to estimate the augmented strength reliability of a system for the generalized case of Augmentation Strategy Plan (ASP) by assuming that the strength [Formula: see text] and common stress [Formula: see text] are independently but not identically distributed as gamma distribution with parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. ASP deals with two important challenges (i) early failures in a newly manufactured system while first and subsequent use and (ii) frequent failures of used system. ASP has a significant role in enhancing the strength of a weaker (or poor) system for failure-free journey to achieve its mission life. The maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayes estimation of augmented strength reliability are considered. In Bayesian context, the informative types of priors (Gamma and Inverted gamma) are chosen under symmetric and asymmetric loss functions for better comprehension purpose. A comparison between the ML and Bayes estimators of the augmented strength reliability is carried out on the basis of their mean square errors (mse’s) and absolute biases by simulating Monte-Carlo samples from posterior distribution through Metropolis–Hasting approximation. Real life data sets are also considered for illustration purpose.

In this study a new generalisation of Rayleigh Distribution has been studied and referred it is as “A New Two-Parametric Maxwell-Rayleigh Distribution”. This distribution is obtained by adopting T-X family procedure. Several distributional properties of the formulated distribution including moments, moment generating function, Characteristics function and incomplete moments have been discussed. The expressions for ageing properties have been derived and discussed explicitly. The behaviour of the pdf and Hazard rate function has been illustrated through different graphs. The parameters are estimated through the technique of MLE. Eventually the versatility and the efficacy of the formulated distribution have been examined through real life data sets related to engineering science.

   A comparison of double informative and non- informative priors assumed for the parameter of Rayleigh distribution is considered. Three different sets of double priors are included, for a single unknown parameter of Rayleigh distribution. We have assumed three double priors: the square root inverted gamma (SRIG) - the natural conjugate family of priors distribution, the square root inverted gamma – the non-informative distribution, and the natural conjugate family of priors - the non-informative distribution as double priors .The data is generating form three cases from Rayleigh distribution for different samples sizes (small, medium, and large). And Bayes estimators for the parameter is derived under a squared error loss function and weighted squared error loss function) in the cases of the three different sets of prior distributions .Simulations is employed to obtain results. And determine the best estimator according to the smallest value of mean squared error and weighted mean squared error. We found  that the best estimation for the parameter for all sample sizes (n) , when the double prior distribution for  is SRIG - the natural conjugate family of priors distribution with values (a=5, b=0.5, =8, =0.5) and (a=8, b=1, =5, =1) for the  true value of  respectively .Also ,we obtained the best estimation for  when the double prior distribution for  is the natural conjugate family of priors-non-informative distribution with values(=0.5, =5, c=1) for  the true value of ().

In recent years, the trigonometric families of continuous distributions have found a place of choice in the theory and practice of statistics, with the Sin-G family as leader. In this paper, we provide some contributions to the subject by introducing a flexible extension of the Sin-G family, called the transformed Sin-G family. It is constructed from a new polynomial-trigonometric function presenting a desirable “versatile concave/convex” property, among others. The modelling possibilities of the former Sin-G family are thus multiplied. This potential is also highlighted by a complete theoretical work, showing stochastic ordering results, studying the analytical properties of the main functions, deriving several kinds of moments, and discussing the reliability parameter as well. Then, the applied side of the proposed family is investigated, with numerical results and applications on the related models. In particular, the estimation of the unknown model parameters is performed through the use of the maximum likelihood method. Then, two real life data sets are analyzed by a new extended Weibull model derived to the considered trigonometric mechanism. We show that it performs the best among seven comparable models, illustrating the importance of the findings.
