AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new three-parameter modified Burr XII distribution based on the standard Burr XII distribution and the composition technique developed by [14]. Among others, we show that this technique has the ability to significantly increase the flexibility of the former Burr XII distribution, with respect to the density and hazard rate shapes. Also, complementary theoretical aspects are studied as shapes, asymptotes, quantiles, useful expansion, moments, skewness, kurtosis, incomplete moments, moments generating function, stochastic ordering, reliability parameter and order statistics. Then, a Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the modified Burr XII model parameters. Finally, three applications to real-life data sets are presented, with models comparisons. The results are favorable for the new modified Burr XII model.

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution, namely the extended Burr XII distribution (using the technique as mentioned in Cordeiro et al. (2015)). We derive some basic properties of the new distribution and provide a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters. For illustrative purposes, two real life data sets have been considered as an application of the proposed model.

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.

<p>This paper introduces a new four-parameter lifetime model, which extends the Marshall-Olkin Fr\'{e}chet distribution introduced by Krishna et al. (2013), called the transmuted Marshall-Olkin Fr\'{e}chet distribution. Various structural properties including ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating function, R\'{e}nyi and q-entropies and order statistics are<br />derived. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. We illustrate the superiority of the proposed distribution over other existing distributions in the literature in modeling two real life data sets.</p>

Convex Property

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.

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.

Social network analysis offers an understanding of our modern world, and it affords the ability to represent, analyze and even simulate complex structures. While an unweighted model can be used for online communities, trust or friendship networks should be analyzed with weighted models. To analyze social networks, it is essential to produce realistic social models. However, there are serious differences between social network models and real-life data in terms of their fundamental statistical parameters. In this paper, a genetic algorithm (GA)-based social network improvement method is proposed to produce social networks more similar to real-life data sets. First, it creates a social model based on existing studies in the literature, and then it improves the model with the proposed GA-based approach based on the similarity of the average degree, the k-nearest neighbor, the clustering coefficient, degree distribution and link overlap. This study can be used to model the structural and statistical properties of large-scale societies more realistically. The performance results show that our approach can reduce the dissimilarity between the created social networks and the real-life data sets in terms of their primary statistical properties. It has been shown that the proposed GA-based approach can be used effectively not only in unweighted networks but also in weighted networks.

AbstractRecently, A. S. Krishnan, S. M. Sunoj and N. U. Nair [Some reliability properties of extropy for residual and past lifetime random variables, J. Korean Stat. Soc. 2020, 10.1007/s42952-019-00023-x] introduced past extropy for measuring uncertainty contained in past lifetime of random variables. In the present study, we focus on the past extropy of k-records. The motivation for considering past extropy of k-records has been discussed in detail. We have also illustrated the merit of considering past extropy of k-records over past extropy of classical records and past extropy of original random sample using two real life data sets. Some important properties of past extropy of k-records are discussed in this work. We have expressed past extropy of k-records using past extropy of k-records arising from uniform distribution. The work proposes a simple estimator for past extropy of k-records as well.

The paper proposes a new selection measure for classification using decision trees for Data mining. Various algorithms have been proposed in the past for classification using decision trees viz. ID3, CART, SLIQ, etc. Selection measures like the Gain, Gain ratio, and Gini index have been proposed in these algorithms. However, none of the selection measures developed so far take into account the balancing of trees. This paper proposes a new selection measure which also takes into account the balancing of trees that will facilitate in improving the classification accuracy. The performance of the original SLIQ algorithm, C5 and the algorithm using the new selection measure (which takes into account the accuracy as well as the balance factor) was measured on the basis of the classification accuracy. Three real life data sets were chosen for this purpose.

Lower And Upper Approximations

This paper focuses on constructing uncertainty measures by the pure rough set approach in ordered information system. Four types of definitions of lower and upper approximations and corresponding uncertainty measurement concepts including accuracy, roughness, approximation quality, approximation accuracy, dependency degree, and importance degree are investigated. Theoretical analysis indicates that all the four types can be used to evaluate the uncertainty in ordered information system, especially that we find that the essence of the first type and the third type is the same. To interpret and help understand the approach, experiments about real-life data sets have been conducted to test the four types of uncertainty measures. From the results obtained, it can be shown that these uncertainty measures can surely measure the uncertainty in ordered information system.
