The paper addresses a new four-parameter probability distribution called the Exponentiated Exponential Burr XII or abbreviated as EE-BXII. We derive various statistical properties in addition to the parameter estimation, moments, and asymptotic confidence bounds. We estimate the precision of the maximum likelihood estimators via a simulation study. Furthermore, the utility of the proposed distribution is evaluated by using two lifetime data sets and the results are compared with other existing probability distributions. The results clarify that the proposed distribution provides a better fit to these data sets as compared to the existing probability distributions.

New Class

AbstractA new generalized class of Lindley distribution is introduced in this paper. This new class is called the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions, and it is generated by using the quantile functions of uniform, exponential, Weibull, log-logistic, logistic and Cauchy distributions. The statistical properties including the modes, moments and Shannon’s entropy are discussed. Three new generalized Lindley distributions are investigated in more details. For estimating the unknown parameters, the maximum likelihood estimation has been used and a simulation study was carried out. Lastly, the usefulness of this new proposed class in fitting lifetime data is illustrated using four different data sets. In the application section, the strength of members of the T-Lindley{Y} class in modeling both unimodal as well as bimodal data sets is presented. A member of the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions outperformed other known distributions in modeling unimodal and bimodal lifetime data sets.

In this paper, we consider a class of bathtub-shaped hazard function distribution through modifying the Kies distribution and investigate some of its important properties by deriving expressions for its percentile function, raw moments, stress-strength reliability measure etc. The parameters of the distribution are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood and discussed some of its reliability applications with the help of certain real life data sets. In addition, the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters of the distribution is examined by using simulated data sets.

Gompertz Distribution

In this paper, we introduce a new continuous probability distribution with five parameters called the modified beta Gompertz distribution. It is derived from the modified beta generator proposed by Nadarajah, Teimouri and Shih (2014) and the Gompertz distribution. By investigating its mathematical and practical aspects, we prove that it is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling a wide variety of real phenomena. Among others, we provide useful expansions of crucial functions, quantile function, moments, incomplete moments, moment generating function, entropies and order statistics. We explore the estimation of the model parameters by the obtained maximum likelihood method. We also present a simulation study testing the validity of maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, we illustrate the flexibility of the distribution by the consideration of two real datasets.

The rationale of the paper is to present a new probability distribution that can model both the monotonic and nonmonotonic hazard rate shapes and to increase their flexibility among other probability distributions available in the literature. The proposed probability distribution is called the New Weighted Lomax (NWL) distribution. Various statistical properties have been studied including with the estimation of the unknown parameters. To achieve the basic objectives, applications of NWL are presented by means of two real-life data sets as well as a simulated data. It is verified that NWL performs well in both monotonic and nonmonotonic hazard rate function than the Lomax (L), Power Lomax (PL), Exponential Lomax (EL), and Weibull Lomax (WL) distribution.

We introduce a new extension of the reciprocal Exponential distribution for modeling the extreme values. We used the Morgenstern family and the clayton copula for deriving many bivariate and multivariate extensions of the new model. Some of its properties are derived. We assessed the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) via a graphical simulation study. The assessment was based on the sample size. The new reciprocal model is employed for modeling the skewed and the symmetric real data sets. The new reciprocal model is better than some other important competitive models in statistical modeling.

AbstractMany real data sets contain numerical features (variables) whose distribution is far from normal (Gaussian). Instead, their distribution is often skewed. In order to handle such data it is customary to preprocess the variables to make them more normal. The Box–Cox and Yeo–Johnson transformations are well-known tools for this. However, the standard maximum likelihood estimator of their transformation parameter is highly sensitive to outliers, and will often try to move outliers inward at the expense of the normality of the central part of the data. We propose a modification of these transformations as well as an estimator of the transformation parameter that is robust to outliers, so the transformed data can be approximately normal in the center and a few outliers may deviate from it. It compares favorably to existing techniques in an extensive simulation study and on real data.

Stochastic Integrals

In this paper statistical properties of estimators of drift parameters for diffusion processes are studied by modern numerical methods for stochastic differential equations. This is a particularly useful method for discrete time samples, where estimators can be constructed by making discrete time approximations to the stochastic integrals appearing in the maximum likelihood estimators for continuously observed diffusions. A review is given of the necessary theory for parameter estimation for diffusion processes and for simulation of diffusion processes. Three examples are studied.

In this article we study the properties, inference, and statistical applications to a parametric generalization of the truncation positive normal distribution, introducing a new parameter so as to increase the flexibility of the new model. For certain combinations of parameters, the model includes both symmetric and asymmetric shapes. We study the model’s basic properties, maximum likelihood estimators and Fisher information matrix. Finally, we apply it to two real data sets to show the model’s good performance compared to other models with positive support: the first, related to the height of the drum of the roller and the second, related to daily cholesterol consumption.
