In this work, a new family of distributions, which extends the Beta transmuted family, was obtained, called the Modified Beta Transmuted Family of distribution. This derived family has the Beta Family of Distribution and the Transmuted family of distribution as subfamilies. The Modified beta transmuted frechet, modified beta transmuted exponential, modified beta transmuted gompertz and modified beta transmuted lindley were obtained as special cases. The analytical expressions were studied for some statistical properties of the derived family of distribution which includes the moments, moments generating function and order statistics. The estimates of the parameters of the family were obtained using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Using the exponential distribution as a baseline for the family distribution, the resulting distribution (modified beta transmuted exponential distribution) was studied and its properties. The modified beta transmuted exponential distribution was applied to a real life time data to assess its flexibility in which the results shows a better fit when compared to some competitive models.

This paper introduces a new class of distributions called the generalized Ampadu-G (GA-G for short) family of distributions, and with a certain restriction on the parameter space, the family is shown to be a life-time distribution. The shape of the density function and hazard rate function of the GA-G family is described analytically. When G follows the Weibull distribution, the generalized Ampadu-Weibull (GA-W for short) is presented along with its hazard and survival function. Several sub-models of the GA-W family are presented. The transformation technique is applied to this new family of distributions, and we obtain the quantile function of the new family. Power series representations for the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function (PDF) are also obtained. The rth non-central moments, moment generating function, and Renyi entropy associated with the new family of distributions are derived. Characterization theorems based on two truncated moments and conditional expectation are also presented. A simulation study is also conducted, and we find that using the method of maximum likelihood to estimate model parameters is adequate. The GA-W family of distributions is shown to be practically significant in modeling real life data, and is shown to be superior to some non-trivial generalizations of the Weibull distribution. A further development concludes the paper.

Two parameters Maxwell – Exponential distribution was proposed using the Maxwell generalized family of distribution. The probability density function, cumulative distribution function, survival function, hazard function, quantile function, and statistical properties of the proposed distribution are discussed. The parameters of the proposed distribution have been estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. The potentiality of the estimators was shown using a simulation study. The overall assessment of the performance of Maxwell - Exponential distribution was determined by using two real-life datasets. Our findings reveal that the Maxwell – Exponential distribution is more flexible compared to other competing distributions as it has the least value of information criteria.

In this paper, a generalized modification of the Kumaraswamy distribution is proposed, and its distributional and characterizing properties are studied. This distribution is closed under scaling and exponentiation, and has some well-known distributions as special cases, such as the generalized uniform, triangular, beta, power function, Minimax, and some other Kumaraswamy related distributions. Moment generating function, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, with its moments consisting of the mean, variance, moments about the origin, harmonic, incomplete, probability weighted, L, and trimmed L moments, are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used for estimating its parameters and applied to six different simulated data sets of this distribution, in order to check the performance of the estimation method through the estimated parameters mean squares errors computed from the different simulated sample sizes. Finally, four real-life data sets are used to illustrate the usefulness and the flexibility of this distribution in application to real-life data.

Renyi’S Entropy

A new family of probability distributions is defined and applied for modeling symmetric real-life datasets. Some new bivariate type G families using Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, modified Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, Clayton copula and Renyi’s entropy copula are derived. Moreover, some of its statistical properties are presented and studied. Next, the maximum likelihood estimation method is used. A graphical assessment based on biases and mean squared errors is introduced. Based on this assessment, the maximum likelihood method performs well and can be used for estimating the model parameters. Finally, two symmetric real-life applications to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the new family are proposed. The symmetricity of the real data is proved nonparametrically using the kernel density estimation method.

Abstract In this article, a new family of distributions is introduced by using transmutation maps. The proposed family of distributions is expected to be useful in modeling real data sets. The genesis of the proposed family, including several statistical and reliability properties, is presented. Methods of estimation like maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, and maximum product spacing are discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation under censoring schemes is also considered. Further, we explore some special models of the proposed family of distributions and examined different properties of these special models. We compare three particular models of the proposed family with several existing distributions using different information criteria. It is observed that the proposed particular models perform better than different competing models. Applications of the particular models of the proposed family of distributions are finally presented to establish the applicability in real life situations.

An additional parameter was added to Modified Weighted Weibull distribution with method of quadratic rank transmutation which led to a newly developed distribution called Transmuted Modified Weighted Weibull distribution. Two distributions that emanated from the new distribution are Transmuted Modified Rayleigh and Transmuted Modified Exponential distributions. Some properties of the distribution that were obtained include; the survival rate, hazard rate, reverse hazard rate function; and moment generating function, mean and variance. Also, parameters of the model were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation method. The model was applied to a life time data set of total milk production of the first birth of 107 cows which showed a better performance compared to some existing known distributions.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions by combining the sine produced family and the inverse Lomax generated family. The new proposed family is very interested and flexible more than some old and current families. It has many new models which have many applications in physics, engineering, and medicine. Some fundamental statistical properties of the sine inverse Lomax generated family of distributions as moments, generating function, and quantile function are calculated. Four special models as sine inverse Lomax-exponential, sine inverse Lomax-Rayleigh, sine inverse Lomax-Frèchet and sine inverse Lomax-Lomax models are proposed. Maximum likelihood estimation of model parameters is proposed in this paper. For the purpose of evaluating the performance of maximum likelihood estimates, a simulation study is conducted. Two real life datasets are analyzed by the sine inverse Lomax-Lomax model, and we show that providing flexibility and more fitting than known nine models derived from other generated families.

We introduce a new class of distributions called the epsilon–positive family, which can be viewed as generalization of the distributions with positive support. The construction of the epsilon–positive family is motivated by the ideas behind the generation of skew distributions using symmetric kernels. This new class of distributions has as special cases the exponential, Weibull, log–normal, log–logistic and gamma distributions, and it provides an alternative for analyzing reliability and survival data. An interesting feature of the epsilon–positive family is that it can viewed as a finite scale mixture of positive distributions, facilitating the derivation and implementation of EM–type algorithms to obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) with (un)censored data. We illustrate the flexibility of this family to analyze censored and uncensored data using two real examples. One of them was previously discussed in the literature; the second one consists of a new application to model recidivism data of a group of inmates released from the Chilean prisons during 2007. The results show that this new family of distributions has a better performance fitting the data than some common alternatives such as the exponential distribution.
