In this paper, a new three-parameter distribution called the Alpha Logarithm Transformed Fr\'{e}chet (ALTF) distribution is introduced which offers a more flexible distribution for modeling lifetime data. Various properties of the proposed distribution, including explicit expressions for the quantiles, moments, incomplete moments, conditional moments, moment generating function R\'{e}nyi and $\delta$-entropies, stochastic ordering, stress-strength reliability and order statistics are derived. The new distribution can have decreasing, reversed J-shaped and upside-down bathtub failure rate functions depending on its parameter values. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the distribution parameters. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates. Finally, the proposed extended model is applied on real data sets and the results are given which illustrate the superior performance of the ALTF distribution compared to some other well-known distributions.

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.

A new generator of continuous distributions called the Inverse Lomax-Exponentiated G family, which has three extra positive parameters is proposed. The structural properties of the new family that holds for any continuous baseline model including explicit density function expressions, moments, inequality measurements, moment generating function, reliability functions, Renyi and Shanon entropies, and distribution of order statistics are derived. A Monte Carlo simulation to test the efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimates is conducted. The application of the new sub-model to the two data sets using the maximum likelihood method indicates that the new model is better than the existing competitors.

This paper proposed a new probability distribution, namely, the half-logistic xgamma (HLXG) distribution. Various statistical properties, such as, moments, incomplete moments, mean residual life, and stochastic ordering of the proposed distribution, are discussed. Parameter estimation of the half-logistic xgamma distribution is approached by the maximum likelihood method based on complete and censored samples. Asymptotic confidence intervals of model parameters are provided. A simulation study is conducted to illustrate the theoretical results. Moreover, the model parameters of the HLXG distribution are estimated by using the maximum likelihood, least square, maximum product spacing, percentile, and Cramer–von Mises (CVM) methods. Superiority of the new model over some existing distributions is illustrated through three real data sets.

In this paper, two new distributions were introduced to model unimodal and/or bimodal data. The first distribution, which was obtained by applying a simple transformation to a unit-Birnbaum–Saunders random variable, is useful for modeling data with positive support, while the second is appropriate for fitting data on the (0,1) interval. Extensions to regression models were also studied in this work, and statistical inference was performed from a classical perspective by using the maximum likelihood method. A small simulation study is presented to evaluate the benefits of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. Finally, two applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

In this paper, a flexible lifetime distribution called Cubic rank transmuted modified Burr III-Pareto (CRTMBIII-P) is developed on the basis of the cubic ranking transmutation map. The density function of CRTMBIII-P is arc, exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped. Descriptive measures such as moments, incomplete moments, inequality measures, residual life function and reliability measures are theoretically established. The CRTMBIII-P distribution is characterized via ratio of truncated moments. Parameters of the CRTMBIII-P distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study for the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the parameters of the CRTMBIII-P distribution is carried out. The potentiality of CRTMBIII-P distribution is demonstrated via its application to the real data sets: tensile strength of carbon fibers and strengths of glass fibers. Goodness of fit of this distribution through different methods is studied.

This article investigates the T-X class of Topp Leone- G family of distributions. Some members of the new family are discussed.  The exponential-Topp Leone-exponential distribution (ETLED) which is one of the members of the family is derived and some of its properties which include central and non-central moments, quantiles, incomplete moments, conditional moments, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, survival and hazard functions, moment generating function, characteristic function and R`enyi entropy are established. The probability density function (pdf) of order statistics of the model is obtained and the parameter estimation is addressed with the maximum likelihood method (MLE). Three real data sets are used to demonstrate its application and the results are compared with two other models in the literature.

In this paper, a flexible lifetime distribution with increasing, decreasing and bathtub hazard rate called the Modified Burr XII-Power (MBXII-Power) is developed on the basis of the T-X family technique. The density function of the MBXII-Power is arc, exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed, J, reverse-J and symmetrical shaped.  Descriptive measures such as moments, moments of order statistics, incomplete moments, inequality measures, residual life functions and reliability measures are theoretically established. The MBXII-Power distribution is characterized via different techniques. Parameters of the MBXII-Power distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study is performed on the basis of graphical results to see the performance of maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the MBXII-Power distribution. The potentiality of the MBXII-Power distribution is demonstrated by its application to real data sets: survival times of pigs, survival times of patients and quarterly earnings

In this paper, we propose a generalization of the so-called truncated inverse Weibull-generated family of distributions by the use of the power transform, adding a new shape parameter. We motivate this generalization by presenting theoretical and practical gains, both consequences of new flexible symmetric/asymmetric properties in a wide sense. Our main mathematical results are about stochastic ordering, uni/multimodality analysis, series expansions of crucial probability functions, probability weighted moments, raw and central moments, order statistics, and the maximum likelihood method. The special member of the family defined with the inverse Weibull distribution as baseline is highlighted. It constitutes a new four-parameter lifetime distribution which brightensby the multitude of different shapes of the corresponding probability density and hazard rate functions. Then, we use it for modelling purposes. In particular, a complete numerical study is performed, showing the efficiency of the corresponding maximum likelihood estimates by simulation work, and fitting three practical data sets, with fair comparison to six notable models of the literature.

In this article, we propose a new four-parameter Fréchet distribution called the odd Lomax Fréchet distribution. The new model can be expressed as a linear mixture of Fréchet densities. We provide some of its mathematical properties. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by the maximum likelihood method. We illustrate the good performance of the maximum likelihood estimates via a detailed numerical simulation study. The importance and usefulness of the proposed distribution for modeling data are illustrated using two real data applications.

This paper aims to develop a new class of distributions, namely, type II exponentiated half-logistic Topp-Leone power series (TIIEHL-TL-GPS) class of distributions.
