This article introduces a new location-scale regression model based on a log-Fréchet distribution. Maximum likelihood and Jackknife methods are used to estimate the new model parameters for censored data. Martingale and deviance residuals are obtained to check model assumptions, data validity, and detect outliers. Moreover, global influence is used to detect influential observations. Monte Carlo simulation study is provided to compare the performance of the maximum likelihood and jackknife estimators for different sample sizes and censoring percentages. The empirical distribution of the martingale and deviance residuals of the proposed model is examined. A real lifetime heart transplant data is analyzed under the log-Fréchet regression model to illustrate the satisfactory results of the proposed model.

Linear Regression Models

We propose and study a new log-gamma Weibull regression model. We obtain explicit expressions for the raw and incomplete moments, quantile and generating functions and mean deviations of the log-gamma Weibull distribution. We demonstrate that the new regression model can be applied to censored data since it represents a parametric family of models which includes as sub-models several widely-known regression models and therefore can be used more effectively in the analysis of survival data. We obtain the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters by considering censored data and evaluate local influence on the estimates of the parameters by taking different perturbation schemes. Some global-influence measurements are also investigated. Further, for different parameter settings, sample sizes and censoring percentages, various simulations are performed. In addition, the empirical distribution of some modified residuals are displayed and compared with the standard normal distribution. These studies suggest that the residual analysis usually performed in normal linear regression models can be extended to a modified deviance residual in the proposed regression model applied to censored data. We demonstrate that our extended regression model is very useful to the analysis of real data and may give more realistic fits than other special regression models.

Some mathematical properties are derived and maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. Certain characterizations of the proposed family are also provided. A simulation study is done to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, an application of the proposed model to the vehicle insurance loss data set is presented.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

Exponentiated Weibull

A new regression model based on the exponentiated Weibull with the structure distribution and the structure of the generalized linear model, called the generalized exponentiated Weibull linear model (GEWLM), is proposed. The GEWLM is composed by three important structural parts: the random component, characterized by the distribution of the response variable; the systematic component, which includes the explanatory variables in the model by means of a linear structure; and a link function, which connects the systematic and random parts of the model. Explicit expressions for the logarithm of the likelihood function, score vector and observed and expected information matrices are presented. The method of maximum likelihood and a Bayesian procedure are adopted for estimating the model parameters. To detect influential observations in the new model, we use diagnostic measures based on the local influence and Bayesian case influence diagnostics. Also, we show that the estimates of the GEWLM are  robust to deal with the presence of outliers in the data. Additionally, to check whether the model supports its assumptions, to detect atypical observations and to verify the goodness-of-fit of the regression model, we define residuals based on the quantile function, and perform a Monte Carlo simulation study to construct confidence bands from the generated envelopes. We apply the new model to a dataset from the insurance area.

A new three-parameter compounded extended-exponential distribution “Poisson Nadarajah–Haghighi” is introduced and studied, which is quite flexible and can be used effectively in modeling survival data. It can have increasing, decreasing, upside-down bathtub and bathtub-shaped failure rate. A comprehensive account of the mathematical properties of the model is presented. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation for complete and censored data. The suitability of the maximum likelihood method to estimate its parameters is assessed by a Monte Carlo simulation study. Four empirical illustrations of the new model are presented to real data and the results are quite satisfactory.

Standard Normal

In several applications, the distribution of the data is frequently unimodal, asymmetric or bimodal. The regression models commonly used for applications to data with real support are the normal, skew normal, beta normal and gamma normal, among others. We define a new regression model based on the odd log-logistic geometric normal distribution for modeling asymmetric or bimodal data with support in [Formula: see text], which generalizes some known regression models including the widely known heteroscedastic linear regression. We adopt the maximum likelihood method for estimating the model parameters and define diagnostic measures to detect influential observations. For some parameter settings, sample sizes and different systematic structures, various simulations are performed to verify the adequacy of the estimators of the model parameters. The empirical distribution of the quantile residuals is investigated and compared with the standard normal distribution. We prove empirically the usefulness of the proposed models by means of three applications to real data.

Family Of Distributions

The transmuted family of distributions has been receiving increased attention over the last few years. For a baselineGdistribution, we derive a simple representation for the transmuted-Gfamily density function as a linear mixture of theGand exponentiated-Gdensities. We investigate the asymptotes and shapes and obtain explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating functions, mean deviations, Rényi and Shannon entropies, and order statistics and their moments. We estimate the model parameters of the family by the method of maximum likelihood. We prove empirically the flexibility of the proposed model by means of an application to a real data set.

In this article, an extension of Inverse Lomax (IL) distribution with the Zubair-G family is considered . Various statistical properties of the new model where derived, including moment generating function, R´enyi entropy, and order statistics. A Monte Carlo simulation study was presented to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. The new model can be skew to the right, constant, and decreasing functions depending on the parameter values.We discussed the estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood method. The application of the new model to the data sets indicates that the new model is better than the existing competitors as it has minimum value of statistics criteria.

This paper investigates general mathematical properties of a new generator of continuous distributions with two extra parameter called the Ristic-Balakrishnan odd log-logistic family of distributions. We present some special models and investigate the asymptotes. The new density function can be expressed as a linear combination of exponentiated densities based on the same baseline distribution. Explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating functions and order statistics, which hold for any baseline model, are determined. Further, we discuss the estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood and present a simulation study based on maximum likelihood estimation. A regression model based on proposed model was introduced. Finally, three applications to real data were provided to illustrate the potentiality of the family of distributions.

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.
