n this paper, we propose a new distribution, namely alpha-beta-skew generalized tdistribution. The proposed distribution is really flxible and includes as special models some important distributions like Normal, t-student, Cauchy and etc as its marginal component distributions. It features a probability density function with up to three modes. The moment generating function as well as the main moments are provided. Inference is based on a usual maximum-likelihood estimation approach and a small Monte Carlo simulation is conducted for studying the asymptotic properties of the maximum-likelihood estimate. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated in a real data

The primary crusher is essential equipment employed for comminuting the mineral in processing plants. Any kind of failure of its components will accordingly hinder the performance of the plant. Therefore, to minimize sudden failures, analysis should be undertaken to improve performance and operational reliability of the crushers and its components. This paper considers the methods for analyzing failure rates of a jaw crusher and its critical components application of a two-parameter Weibull distribution in a mineral processing plant fitted using statistical tests such as goodness of fit and maximum likelihood estimation. Monte Carlo simulation, analysis of variance, and artificial neural network are also applied. Two-parameter Weibull distribution is found to be the best fit distribution using Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Maximum likelihood estimation method is used to find out the shape and scale parameter of two-parameter Weibull distribution. Monte Carlo simulation generates 40 numbers of shape parameters, scale parameters, and time. Further, 40 numbers of Weibull distribution parameters are evaluated to examine the failure rate, significant difference, and regression coefficient using ANOVA. Artificial neural network with back-propagation algorithm is used to determine R2 and is compared with analysis of variance.

In this paper, we introduce a new family of continuous distributions called the beta transmuted Dagum distribution which extends the beta and transmuted familys. The genesis of the beta distribution and transmuted map is used to develop the so-called beta transmuted Dagum (BTD) distribution. The hazard function, moments, moment generating function, quantiles and stress-strength of the beta transmuted Dagum distribution (BTD) are provided and discussed in detail. The method of maximum likelihood estimation is used for estimating the model parameters. A simulation study is carried out to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimate of parameters of the new distribution. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated through an application to a real data set.

The paper considers an algorithm for correcting the instrumental spectrum of the gamma-radiometer with a NaI(Tl) detector. The algorithm is based on the ME-LM method (Maximum Likelihood Estimation using Expectation Maximization), which uses a detector response matrix obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The main advantage of the algorithm is the rescaling procedure, which significantly reduces the spectrum processing time.

A new method for generalizing the Lindley distribution, by increasing the number of mixed models is presented formally. This generalized model, which is called the generalized Lindley of integer order, encompasses the exponential and the usual Lindley distributions as special cases when the order of the model is fixed to be one and two, respectively. The moments, the variance, the moment generating function, and the failure rate function of the initiated model are extracted. Estimation of the underlying parameters by the moment and the maximum likelihood methods are acquired. The maximum likelihood estimation for the right censored data has also been discussed. In a simulation running for various orders and censoring rates, efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimator has been explored. The introduced model has ultimately been fitted to two real data sets to emphasize its application.

In this paper, we propose a novel class of probability distributions called Normal-G. It has the advantage of demanding no additional parameters besides those of the parent distribution, thereby providing parsimonious models. Furthermore, the class enjoys the property of identifiability whenever the baseline is identifiable. We present special Normal-G sub-models, which can fit asymmetrical data with either positive or negative skew. Other important mathematical properties are described, such as the series expansion of the probability density function (pdf), which is used to derive expressions for the moments and the moment generating function (mgf). We bring Monte Carlo simulation studies to investigate the behavior of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of two distributions generated by the class and we also present applications to real datasets to illustrate its usefulness.

A new family of skew distributions is introduced by extending the alpha skew logistic distribution proposed by Hazarika-Chakraborty [9]. This family of distributions is called the alpha-beta skew logistic (ABSLG) distribution.Density function, moments, skewness and kurtosis coefficients are derived. The parameters of the new family are estimated by maximum likelihood and moments methods. The performance of the obtained estimators examined via a Monte carlo simulation. Flexibility, usefulness and suitability of ABSLG is illustrated by analyzing two real data sets.

We introduced a new generalized Weibull- Odd Frѐchet family of distributions with three extra parameters and we derived some of its structural properties. We derived comprehensive mathematical properties which include moments, moment generating function, Entropies and Order Statistics. One family of this distribution called new generalized Weibull- Odd Frѐchet -Frѐchet distribution is used to fit two data sets using the MLE procedure. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to test the robustness of the parameters of this distribution, in terms of the bias and mean squared error. The results of fitting this new distribution to two different data sets suggest that the new distribution outperforms its competitors.

Research papers represent an important and rich source of comparative data. The change is to extract the information of interest. Herein, we look at the possibilities to construct confidence intervals for sample averages when only ranges are available with maximum likelihood estimation with order statistics (MLEOS). Using Monte Carlo simulation, we looked at the confidence interval coverage characteristics for likelihood ratio and Wald-type approximate 95% confidence intervals. We saw indication that the likelihood ratio interval had better coverage and narrower intervals. For single parameter distributions, MLEOS is directly applicable. For location-scale distribution is recommended that the variance (or combination of it) to be estimated using standard formulas and used as a plug-in.

A new sole parameter probability distribution named the Tornumonkpe distribution has been derived in this paper. The new model is a blend of gamma (2,  and gamma(3  distributions. The shape of its density for different values of the parameter has been shown.  The mathematical expression for the moment generating function, the first three raw moments, the second and third moments about the mean, the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness has been given. The parameter of the new distribution was estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. The goodness of fit of the Tornumonkpe distribution was established by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. Using -2lnL, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Akaike Information Criterion(AIC) as criterial for selecting the best fitting model, it was revealed that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets used.
