A new four-parameter distribution called the beta Lindley-geometric distribution is proposed. The hazard rate function of the new model can be constant, decreasing, increasing, upside down bathtub or bathtub failure rate shapes. Various structural properties including 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 using a real data set.

We study a new two-parameter lifetime model called the exponentiated generalized standardized half-logistic distribution, which extends the half-logistic pioneered by Balakrishnan in the eighties. We provide explicit expressions for the moments, generating and quantile functions, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and order statistics. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. A simulation study reveals that the estimators have desirable properties such as small biases and variances even in moderate sample sizes. We prove empirically that the new distribution provides a better fit to a real data set than other competitive models.

The aim of this paper is not only to propose a new extreme distribution, but also to show that the new extreme model can be used as an alternative to well-known distributions in the literature to model various kinds of datasets in different fields. Several of its statistical properties are explored. It is found that the new extreme model can be utilized for modeling both asymmetric and symmetric datasets, which suffer from over- and under-dispersed phenomena. Moreover, the hazard rate function can be constant, increasing, increasing–constant, or unimodal shaped. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters based on complete and censored samples. Finally, a significant amount of simulations was conducted along with real data applications to illustrate the use of the new extreme distribution.

A new method for generating family of distributions was proposed. Some fundamental properties of the new proposed family include the quantile, survival function, hazard rate function, reversed hazard and cumulative hazard rate functions are provided. This family contains several new models as sub models, such as the Weibull exponential model which was defined and discussed its properties. The maximum likelihood method of estimation is using to estimate the model parameters of the new proposed family. The flexibility and the importance of the Weibull-exponential model is assessed by applying it to a real data set and comparing it with other known models.

The distribution of ArcSine will be developed to another new distribution using the Quadratic Rank Transmutation (QRT) method proposed by Shaw and Buckley (2007). The new distribution will be called the Transmuted ArcSine distribution, some of its mathematical characteristics such as variance, expectation, residual function, risk function, moments, moment generating function and characteristic function will be presented. The model parameters will be estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Finally, two real data sets are analyzed to illustrates the usefulness of the TAS distribution.

In this paper, a discrete analog of the beta-Weibull distribution is studied. This new distribution contains several discrete distributions as special sub-models. Some distributional and moment properties of the discrete beta-Weibull distribution as well as its order statistics are discussed. We will show that the hazard rate function of the new model can be increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped and upside-down bathtub. Estimation of the parameters is illustrated and the model with a real data set is also examined.

In this article, a new four-parameter model is introduced which can be used in mod- eling survival data and fatigue life studies. Its failure rate function can be increasing, decreasing, upside down and bathtub-shaped depending on its parameters. We derive explicit expressions for some of its statistical and mathematical quantities. Some useful characterizations are presented. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. The censored maximum likelihood estimation is presented in the general case of the multi-censored data. We demonstrate empirically the importance and exibility of the new model in modeling a real data set.

The beta generalized half-normal distribution is commonly used to model lifetimes. We propose a new wider distribution called the beta generalized half-normal geometric distribution, whose failure rate function can be decreasing, increasing or upside-down bathtub. Its density function can be expressed as a linear combination of beta generalzed half-normal density functions. We derive quantile function, moments and generating unction. We characterize the proposed distribution using a simple relationship between wo truncated moments. The method of maximum likelihood is adapted to estimate the model parameters and its potentiality is illustrated with an application to a real fatigue data set. Further, we propose a new extended regression model based on the logarithm of the new distribution. This regression model can be very useful for the analysis of real data and provide more realistic fits than other special regression models.

In this paper, a new five-parameter distribution is proposed using the functionalities of the Kumaraswamy generalized family of distributions and the features of the power Lomax distribution. It is named as Kumaraswamy generalized power Lomax distribution. In a first approach, we derive its main probability and reliability functions, with a visualization of its modeling behavior by considering different parameter combinations. As prime quality, the corresponding hazard rate function is very flexible; it possesses decreasing, increasing and inverted (upside-down) bathtub shapes. Also, decreasing-increasing-decreasing shapes are nicely observed. Some important characteristics of the Kumaraswamy generalized power Lomax distribution are derived, including moments, entropy measures and order statistics. The second approach is statistical. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters are described and a brief simulation study shows their effectiveness. Two real data sets are taken to show how the proposed distribution can be applied concretely; parameter estimates are obtained and fitting comparisons are performed with other well-established Lomax based distributions. The Kumaraswamy generalized power Lomax distribution turns out to be best by capturing fine details in the structure of the data considered.

Unit distributions are commonly used in probability and statistics to describe useful quantities with values between 0 and 1, such as proportions, probabilities, and percentages. Some unit distributions are defined in a natural analytical manner, and the others are derived through the transformation of an existing distribution defined in a greater domain. In this article, we introduce the unit gamma/Gompertz distribution, founded on the inverse-exponential scheme and the gamma/Gompertz distribution. The gamma/Gompertz distribution is known to be a very flexible three-parameter lifetime distribution, and we aim to transpose this flexibility to the unit interval. First, we check this aspect with the analytical behavior of the primary functions. It is shown that the probability density function can be increasing, decreasing, “increasing-decreasing” and “decreasing-increasing”, with pliant asymmetric properties. On the other hand, the hazard rate function has monotonically increasing, decreasing, or constant shapes. We complete the theoretical part with some propositions on stochastic ordering, moments, quantiles, and the reliability coefficient. Practically, to estimate the model parameters from unit data, the maximum likelihood method is used. We present some simulation results to evaluate this method. Two applications using real data sets, one on trade shares and the other on flood levels, demonstrate the importance of the new model when compared to other unit models.

We discuss the two-component mixture of the inverse Weibull and lognormal distributions (MIWLND) as a lifetime model. First, we discuss the properties of the proposed model including the reliability and hazard functions. Next, we discuss the estimation of model parameters by using the maximum likelihood method (MLEs). We also derive expressions for the elements of the Fisher information matrix. Next, we demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model by fitting it to a real data set. Finally, we draw some concluding remarks.
