A new continuous four-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced by compounding the distribution of the maximum of a sequence of an independently identically exponentiated Lomax distributed random variables and zero truncated Poisson random variable, defined as the complementary exponentiated Lomax Poisson (CELP) distribution. The new distribution which exhibits decreasing and upside down bathtub shaped density while the distribution has the ability to model lifetime data with decreasing, increasing and upside-down bathtub shaped failure rates. The new distribution has a number of well-known lifetime special sub-models, such as Lomax-zero truncated Poisson distribution, exponentiated Pareto-zero truncated Poisson distribution and Pareto- zero truncated Poisson distribution. A comprehensive account of the mathematical and statistical properties of the new distribution is presented. The model parameters are obtained by the methods of maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares, percentiles, maximum product of spacing and Cram\'er-von-Mises and compared them using Monte Carlo simulation study. We illustrate the performance of the proposed distribution by means of two real data sets and both the data sets show the new distribution is more appropriate as compared to the transmuted Lomax, beta exponentiated Lomax, McDonald Lomax, Kumaraswamy Lomax, Weibull Lomax, Burr X Lomax and Lomax distributions.

The Muth distribution is a continuous random variable introduced in the context of reliability theory. In this paper, some mathematical properties of the model are derived, including analytical expressions for the moment generating function, moments, mode, quantile function and moments of the order statistics. In this regard, the generalized integro-exponential function, the Lambert W function and the golden ratio arise in a natural way. The parameter estimation of the model is performed by the methods of maximum likelihood, least squares, weighted least squares and moments, which are compared via a Monte Carlo simulation study. A natural extension of the model is considered as well as an application to a real data set.

We propose the McDonald Lindley-Poisson distribution and derive some of its mathematical properties including explicit expressions for moments, generating and quantile functions, mean deviations, order statistics and their moments. Its model parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood. A simulation study investigates the performance of the estimates. The new distribution represents a more flexible model for lifetime data analysis than other existing models as proved empirically by means of two real data sets.

n many applied areas there is a clear need for the extended forms of the well-known distributions.The new distributions are more flexible to model real data that present a high degree of skewness and kurtosis, such that each one solves a particular part of the classical distribution problems. In this paper, a new two-parameter Generalized Odd Gamma distribution, called the (GOGaU) distribution, is introduced and the fitness capability of this model are investigated. Some structural properties of the new distribution are obtained. The different methods including: Maximum likelihood estimators, Bayesian estimators (posterior mean and maximum a posterior), least squares estimators, weighted least squares estimators, Cramér-von-Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling and right tailed Anderson-Darling estimators are discussed to estimate the model parameters. In order to perform the applications, the importance and flexibility of the new model are also illustrated empirically by means of two real data sets. For simulation Stan and JAGS software were utilized in which we have built the GOGaU JAGS module

A new compound distribution called Burr XII-Weibull-Logarithmic (BWL) distribution is introduced and its properties are explored. This new distribution contains several new and well known sub-models, including Burr XII-Exponential-Logarithmic, Burr XII-Rayleigh-Logarithmic, Burr XII-Logarithmic, Lomax-Exponential-Logarithmic, Lomax–Rayleigh-Logarithmic, Weibull, Rayleigh, Lomax, Lomax-Logarithmic, Weibull-Logarithmic, Rayleigh-Logarithmic, and Exponential-Logarithmic distributions. Some statistical properties of the proposed distribution including moments and conditional moments are presented. Maximum likelihood estimation technique is used to estimate the model parameters. Finally, applications of the model to real data sets are presented to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed distribution.

In this article, we introduce a new distribution called the McDonald Erlangtruncated exponential distribution. Various structural properties including explicit expressions for the moments, moment generating function, mean deviation of the new distribution are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood method. The usefulness of the new distribution is illustrated by two real data sets. The new model is much better than other important competitive models in modeling relief times and survival times data sets.

Reliability data are generated in the form of success/failure. An attempt was made to model such type of data using binomial distribution in the Bayesian paradigm. For fitting the Bayesian model both analytic and simulation techniques are used. Laplace approximation was implemented for approximating posterior densities of the model parameters. Parallel simulation tools were implemented with an extensive use of R and JAGS. R and JAGS code are developed and provided. Real data sets are used for the purpose of illustration.

During the past couple of years, statistical distributions have been widely used in applied areas such as reliability engineering, medical, and financial sciences. In this context, we come across a diverse range of statistical distributions for modeling heavy tailed data sets. Well-known distributions are log-normal, log-t, various versions of Pareto, log-logistic, Weibull, gamma, exponential, Rayleigh and its variants, and generalized beta of the second kind distributions, among others. In this paper, we try to supplement the distribution theory literature by incorporating a new model, called a new extended Weibull distribution. The proposed distribution is very flexible and exhibits desirable properties. Maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters are obtained, and a Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to assess the behavior of these estimators. Finally, we provide a comparative study of the newly proposed and some other existing methods via analyzing three real data sets from different disciplines such as reliability engineering, medical, and financial sciences. It has been observed that the proposed method outclasses well-known distributions on the basis of model selection criteria.

We propose an extended fatigue lifetime model called the odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders–Poisson distribution, which includes as special cases the Birnbaum–Saunders and odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders distributions. We obtain some structural properties of the new distribution. We define a new extended regression model based on the logarithm of the odd log-logistic Birnbaum–Saunders–Poisson random variable. For censored data, we estimate the parameters of the regression model using maximum likelihood. We investigate the accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimates using Monte Carlo simulations. The importance of the proposed models, when compared to existing models, is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

AbstractIn this paper, a new probability density function with bounded domain is presented. The new distribution arises from the Lindley distribution proposed in 1958. It presents the advantage of not including any special function in its formulation. The new transformed model, called the reflected-shifted-truncated Lindley distribution can be used to model left-skewed data. We provide a comprehensive treatment of general mathematical and statistical properties of this distribution. We estimate the model parameters by maximum likelihood methods based on complete and right-censored data. To assess the performance and consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators, we conduct a simulation study with varying sample sizes. Finally, we use the distribution to model left-skewed survival and failure data from two real data sets. For the real data sets containing complete data and right-censored data, this distribution is superior in its ability to sufficiently model the data as compared to the power Lindley, exponentiated power Lindley, generalized inverse Lindley, generalized weighted Lindley and the well-known Gompertz distributions.

In the reliability literature, maintenance efficiency is usually dealt with as a fixed value. Since repairable systems are subject to different degrees and types of repair, it is more convenient to regard a random variable for maintenance efficiency. This paper is devoted to the statistical study of a general hybrid model for repairable systems working under imperfect maintenance. For both failure improvement and virtual age reduction of the system, maintenance efficiency is assumed to be random, with an exponential distribution as a probability density function. The likelihood function of this model is provided, and the estimation of the model parameters is computed by considering the maximization likelihood procedure. Obtained results were tested and applied to simulated and real data sets. To construct confidence intervals, the bias-corrected accelerated bootstrap method has been used.
