Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new two-parameter lifetime distribution which is called extended Half-Logistic (EHL) distribution. Theoretical properties of this model including the hazard function, quantile function, asymptotic, extreme value, moments, conditional moments, mean residual life, mean past lifetime, residual entropy, cumulative residual entropy and order statistics are derived and studied in details. The maximum likelihood estimates of parameters are compared with various methods of estimations by conducting a simulation study. Finally, two real data sets are illustration the purposes.

This paper is devoted to a new lifetime distribution having three parameters by compound the exponential model and the transmuted Topp-Leone-G. The new proposed model is called the transmuted Topp-Leone exponential model; it is useful in lifetime data and reliability. The new model is very flexible; its pdf can be right skewness, unimodal, and decreasing shaped, but the hrf of the suggested model can be unimodal, constant, and decreasing. Numerous statistical characteristics of the new model, notably the quantile function, moments, incomplete moments, conditional moments, mean residual life, mean inactivity time, and entropy are produced and investigated. The system’s parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood approach. All estimators should be theoretically convergent, which is supported by a simulation analysis. Finally, two real-world datasets from the engineering and medical disciplines explore the new model’s relevance and adaptability in comparison to the alternatives models such as the beta exponential, the Marshall–Olkin generalized exponential, the exponentiated Weibull, the modified Weibull, and the transmuted Burr type X models.

We introduce a new three-parameter lifetime distribution, the exponentiated Lindley geometric distribution, which exhibits increasing, decreasing, unimodal, and bathtub shaped hazard rates. We provide statistical properties of the new distribution, including shape of the probability density function, hazard rate function, quantile function, order statistics, moments, residual life function, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and entropies. We use maximum likelihood estimation of the unknown parameters, and an Expectation-Maximization algorithm is also developed to find the maximum likelihood estimates. The Fisher information matrix is provided to construct the asymptotic confidence intervals. Finally, two real-data examples are analyzed for illustrative purposes.

We introduce a new two-parameter lifetime distribution called the half-logistic Lomax (HLL) distribution. The proposed distribution is obtained by compounding half-logistic and Lomax distributions. We derive some mathematical properties of the proposed distribution such as the survival and hazard rate function, quantile function, mode, median, moments and moment generating functions, mean deviations from mean and median, mean residual life function, order statistics, and entropies. The estimation of parameters is performed by maximum likelihood and the formulas for the elements of the Fisher information matrix are provided. A simulation study is run to assess the performance of maximum-likelihood estimators (MLEs). The flexibility and potentiality of the proposed model are illustrated by means of real and simulated data sets.

Discrete life data arise in many practical situations and even for continuous data we may find cases where the data are presented in grouped form, so that a discrete model can be used. In this paper, we propose a new two-parameter discrete lifetime distribution for modeling this type of data. The distribution under consideration has some interesting ageing properties; in particular, it is able to describe bathtub-shaped failure rate as well as upside-down bathtub-shaped mean residual life. We use this discrete distribution to model Halley’s mortality data and find it fits reasonably well. The proposed model, though quite simple in appearance, is flexible and potentially useful in describing various types of failure time. Some analytical results will also be presented.

A two-parameter generalization of Sujatha distribution (AGSD), which includes Lindley distribution and Sujatha distribution as particular cases, has been proposed. It's important mathematical and statistical properties including its shape for varying values of parameters, moments, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and stress-strength reliability have been discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation method has been discussed for estimating its parameters. AGSD provides better fit than Sujatha, Aradhana, Lindley and exponential distributions for modeling real lifetime data.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 1, July 2017, Page: 66-83

In recent years, bounded distributions have attracted extensive attention. At the same time, various areas involve bounded interval data, such as proportion and ratio. In this paper, we propose a new bounded model, named logistic Truncated exponential skew logistic distribution. Some basic statistical properties of the proposed distribution are studied, including moments, mean residual life function, Renyi entropy, mean deviation, order statistics, exponential family, and quantile function. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the unknown parameters of the proposed distribution. More importantly, the applications to three real data sets mainly from the field of engineering science prove that the logistic Truncated exponential skew logistic distribution fits better than other bounded distributions.

In this paper, a new probability discrete distribution for analyzing over-dispersed count data encountered in biological sciences was proposed. The new discrete distribution, with one parameter, has a log-concave probability mass function and an increasing hazard rate function, for all choices of its parameter. Several properties of the proposed distribution including the mode, moments and index of dispersion, mean residual life, mean past life, order statistics and L- moment statistics have been established. Two actuarial or risk measures were derived. The numerical computations for these measures are conducted for several parametric values of the model parameter. The parameter of the introduced distribution is estimated using eight frequentist estimation methods. Detailed Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to explore the performance of the studied estimators. The performance of the proposed distribution has been examined by three over-dispersed real data sets from biological sciences.

In this paper, a two-parameter Rama distribution is proposed. This is coined from Lindley distribution and Rama distribution. Its mathematical and statistical properties which include its shapes, moment, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviation; Bonferroni and Lorenz curves are also discussed. The estimation of parameters has been X-rayed using methods of moment and maximum likelihood. Also AIC and BIC are used to test for the goodness of fit of the model which is applied to a real life data of hepatitis B patients. This new distribution is compared with Rama, 2-parameter Akash, 2-parameter Lindley, Akash, Shanker, Ishita, Lindley and Exponential distributions in order to determine the efficiency of the new model.

This paper deals with a new generalization of the Weibull distribution. This distribution is called exponentiated exponentiated exponential-Weibull (EEE-W) distribution. Various structural properties of the new probabilistic model are considered, such as hazard rate function, moments, moment generating function, quantile function, skewness, kurtosis, Shannon entropy and Rényi entropy. The maximum likelihood estimates of its unknown parameters are obtained. Finally, areal data set is analyzed and it observed that the present distribution can provide a better fit than some other known distributions.

Introduction: Lifetime distribution has drawn so much attention in recent research, and this has lead to the development of new lifetime distribution. Addition of parameters to the existing distribution makes the distribution more flexible and reliable and applicable model has become the focus of the recent search. This paper proposed a two-parameter Pranav distribution which has its base from a one-parameter Pranav and Ishita distribution. Methods Two parameter Pranav distribution was proposed. Mathematical and statistical properties of the distribution which includes; moments, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves were developed. Other lifetime distributions such as Ishita, Akash, Sujatha, Shanker, Lindley, and Exponential distributions were considered in the study. Results: This new distribution was compared with two-parameter Akash, Lindley, one parameter Pranav, Ishita, Akash, Sujatha, Shanker, Lindley, and Exponential distributions to determine the efficiency of the new model. The estimation of parameters has been X-rayed using the method of moments and maximum likelihood. Also, AIC and BIC were used to test for the goodness of fit of the model which was applied to a real-life data of hypertensive patients. The results show that the new two-parameter Pranav distribution has the lowest value of AIC and BIC Conclusion: Based on the AIC and BIC values we can conclude that the two-parameter Pranav is more efficient than the other distribution for modeling survival of hypertensive patients. Hence two-parameter Pranav can be seen as an important distribution in modeling lifetime data.
