A flexible lifetime distribution with increasing, decreasing, inverted bathtub and modified bathtub hazard rate called Modified Burr XII-Inverse Weibull (MBXII-IW) is introduced and studied. The density function of MBXII-IW is exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped.  Descriptive measures on the basis of quantiles, moments, order statistics and reliability measures are theoretically established. The MBXII-IW distribution is characterized via different techniques. Parameters of MBXII-IW distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study is performed to illustrate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). The potentiality of MBXII-IW distribution is demonstrated by its application to real data sets: serum-reversal times and quarterly earnings.

In this study, a new flexible family of distributions is proposed with its statistical properties as well as some useful characterizations. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the unknown model parameters by means of two simulation studies. A new regression model is proposed based on a special member of the proposed family called, the log odd power Lindley Weibull distribution. Residual analysis is conducted to evaluate the model assumptions. Four applications to real data sets are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model.

In this article, a four parameter generalization of the flexible Weibull extension distribution so-called generalized flexible Weibull extension distribution is studied. The proposed model belongs to T-X family of distributions proposed by Alzaatreh et al. [5]. The suggested model is much flexible and accommodates increasing, unimodal and modified unimodal failure rates. A comprehensive expression of the numerical properties and the estimates of the model parameters are obtained using maximum likelihood method. By appropriate choice of parameter values the new model reduces to four sub models. The proposed model is illustrated by means of three real data sets.

A new continuous distribution is proposed in this paper. This distribution is a generalization of Mukherjee-Islam distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map. It is called transmuted Mukherjee-Islam distribution (TMID). We have studied many properties of the new distribution: Reliability and hazard rate functions. The descriptive statistics: mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis are also studied. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the distribution parameters. Order statistics and Renyi and Tsallis entropies were also calculated. Furthermore, the quantile function and the median are calculated.

In this paper, we introduce a new family of distributions extending the odd family of distributions. A new tuning parameter is introduced, with some connections to the well-known transmuted transformation. Some mathematical results are obtained, including moments, generating function and order statistics. Then, we study a special case dealing with the standard loglogistic distribution and the modifiedWeibull distribution. Its main features are to have densities with flexible shapes where skewness, kurtosis, heavy tails and modality can be observed, and increasing-decreasing-increasing, unimodal and bathtub shaped hazard rate functions. Estimation of the related parameters is investigated by the maximum likelihood method. We illustrate the usefulness of our extended odd family of distributions with applications to two practical data sets.

Modern digital sonic tools can record full waveforms using an array of receivers. The recorded waveforms are extremely complicated because wave components overlap in time. Conventional beamforming approaches, such as semblance processing, while robust, sometimes do not resolve the interfering wave components propagating at similar speeds, such as multiple compressional arrivals due to the formation alteration surrounding the borehole. Here the maximum‐likelihood method (MLM), a high‐resolution array processing algorithm, is modified and applied to process borehole array sonic data. Extensive modifications of the original MLM algorithm were necessary because of the transient character of the sonic data and its effect upon the spectral covariance matrix. We applied MLM to several array sonic data sets, including laboratory data, synthetic waveforms, and field data taken by a Schlumberger array sonic tool. MLM’s slowness resolution is demonstrated in resolving a secondary compressional arrival from the primary compressional arrival in an altered formation, and the formation compressional arrival in the presence of a stronger casing arrival in an unbonded cased hole. In comparison with the semblance processing results, the MLM results clearly show a better slowness resolution. However, in the case of a weak formation arrival, the semblance processing tends to enhance and resolve the weak arrival by the semblance normalization procedure, while the MLM, designed to estimate the signal strength, does not. The heavy computational requirement (mainly, many matrix inversions) in the MLM makes it much slower than semblance processing, which may prohibit implementation of the MLM algorithm in a real‐time environment.

The need to develop generalizations of existing statistical distributions to make them more flexible in modeling real data sets is vital in parametric statistical modeling and inference. Thus, this study develops a new class of distributions called the extended odd Fréchet family of distributions for modifying existing standard distributions. Two special models named the extended odd Fréchet Nadarajah-Haghighi and extended odd Fréchet Weibull distributions are proposed using the developed family. The densities and the hazard rate functions of the two special distributions exhibit different kinds of monotonic and nonmonotonic shapes. The maximum likelihood method is used to develop estimators for the parameters of the new class of distributions. The application of the special distributions is illustrated by means of a real data set. The results revealed that the special distributions developed from the new family can provide reasonable parametric fit to the given data set compared to other existing distributions.

In this article, we introduced a new extension of the binomial-exponential 2 distribution. We discussed some of its structural mathematical properties. A simple type Copula-based construction is also presented to construct the bivariate- and multivariate-type distributions. We estimated the model parameters via the maximum likelihood method. Finally, we illustrated the importance of the new model by the study of two real data applications to show the flexibility and potentiality of the new model in modeling skewed and symmetric data sets.

Alizadeh et al. introduced a flexible family of distributions, in the so-called Gompertz-G family. In this article, a discrete analogue of the Gompertz-G family is proposed. We also study some of its distributional properties and reliability characteristics. After introducing the general class, three special models of the new family are discussed in detail. The maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the family parameters. A simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the family parameters. Finally, the flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of four genuine datasets, and it is found that the proposed model provides a better fit than the competitive distributions.

The Covid-19 infections outbreak is increasing day by day and the mortality rate is increasing exponentially both in underdeveloped and developed countries. It becomes inevitable for mathematicians to develop some models that could define the rate of infections and deaths in a population. Although there exist a lot of probability models but they fail to model different structures (non-monotonic) of the hazard rate functions and also do not provide an adequate fit to lifetime data. In this paper, a new probability model (FEW) is suggested which is designed to evaluate the death rates in a Population. Various statistical properties of FEW have been screened out in addition to the parameter estimation by using the maximum likelihood method (MLE). Furthermore, to delineate the significance of the parameters, a simulation study is conducted. Using death data from Pakistan due to Covid-19 outbreak, the proposed model applications is studied and compared to that of other existing probability models such as Ex-W, W, Ex, AIFW, and GAPW. The results show that the proposed model FEW provides a much better fit while modeling these data sets rather than Ex-W, W, Ex, AIFW, and GAPW.
