New Distribution

A new distribution called the beta-Burr type V distribution that extends the Burr type V distribution was defined, investigated and estab-lished. The properties examined provide a comprehensive mathematical treatment of the distribution. Additionally, various structural proper-ties of the new distribution verified include probability density function verification, asymptotic behavior, Hazard Rate Function and the cumulative distribution. Subsequently, we used the maximum likelihood estimation procedure to estimate the parameters of the new distribu-tion. Application of real data set indicates that this new distribution would serve as a good alternative distribution function to model real- life data in many areas.

In this work, we proposed and studied the Cubic Transmuted Gompertz (CTG) distribution using the Cubic Transmuted family of distributions which was introduced by Rahman et al. [8] and based on cubic transmutation map. We studied the statistical properties of the new distribution which includes: rth moment, moment generating function order statistics, mean, variance, Renyl entropy. The CTG distribution was fitted to a real data set to demonstrate its flexibility and tractability in modelling real life data.

Extended Cox Model

A new Bayesian estimation procedure for extended cox model with time varying covariate was presented. The prior was determined using bootstrapping technique within the framework of parametric empirical Bayes. The efficiency of the proposed method was observed using Monte Carlo simulation of extended Cox model with time varying covariates under varying scenarios. Validity of the proposed method was also ascertained using real life data set of Stanford heart transplant. Comparison of the proposed method with its competitor established appreciable supremacy of the method.

New Distribution

In this paper we introduced Gompertz Gumbel II (GG II) distribution which generalizes the Gumbel II distribution. The new distribution is a flexible exponential type distribution which can be used in modeling real life data with varying degree of asymmetry. Unlike the Gumbel II distribution which exhibits a monotone decreasing failure rate, the new distribution is useful for modeling unimodal (Bathtub-shaped) failure rates which sometimes characterised the real life data. Structural properties of the new distribution namely, density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, moment generating function, orders statistics, Stochastic Ordering, Renyi entropy were obtained. For the main formulas related to our model, we present numerical studies that illustrate the practicality of computational implementation using statistical software. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for the GGTT model. Three life data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the flexibility of the new model.

Frailty models have been used in literature to account for heterogeneity among insureds in-terms of mortality. In this article, we compare the gamma and the non-central gamma as frailty distributions with the exponentiated exponential and exponentiated Weibull as baseline hazards. We adopt a fully Bayesian approach to calibrate the baselines based on crude mortality rates from a major Kenyan insurer. Comparing the gamma-exponentiated Weibull with the non-central gamma-exponentiated Weibull models shows that the non-central gamma provides a good fit to the real life data-set and is therefore recommended for valuation.

AbstractThe use of RNA-sequencing has garnered much attention in the recent years for characterizing and understanding various biological systems. However, it remains a major challenge to gain insights from a large number of RNA-seq experiments collectively, due to the normalization problem. Current normalization methods are based on assumptions that fail to hold when RNA-seq profiles become more abundant and heterogeneous. We present a normalization procedure that does not rely on these assumptions, or on prior knowledge about the reference transcripts in those conditions. This algorithm is based on a graph constructed from intrinsic correlations among RNA-seq transcripts and seeks to identify a set of densely connected vertices as references. Application of this algorithm on our benchmark data showed that it can recover the reference transcripts with high precision, thus resulting in high-quality normalization. As demonstrated on a real data set, this algorithm gives good results and is efficient enough to be applicable to real-life data.2012 ACM Subject ClassificationApplied computing → Computational transcriptomics, Applied computing → BioinformaticsDigital Object Identifier10.4230/LIPIcs.WABI.2018.xxxFundingThis material was based on research supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)–NIH sponsored Programs of Excellence in Glycosciences [grant number HL107152 to B.K.], and partially by NSF [CAREER grant 1350344 to M.M.].

This article proposed a new distribution referred to as the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution as an extension of the popular Lomax distribution in the form of Exponential Lomax by using the Quadratic rank transmutation map proposed and studied in earlier research. Using the transmutation map, we defined the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution. Some properties of the new distribution were extensively studied after derivation. The estimation of the distribution’s parameters was also done using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the proposed probability distribution was checked in comparison with some other generalizations of Lomax distribution using three real-life data sets. The results obtained indicated that TELD performs better than the other distributions comprising power Lomax, Exponential-Lomax, and the Lomax distributions.
