In this paper, we have proposed a new version of power lindley distribution known as weighted power lindley distribution. The different structural properties of the newly model have been studied. The maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters and the Fishers information matrix have been discussed. It also provides more flexibility to analyze complex real data sets.  An application of the model to a real data set is analyzed using the new distribution, which shows that the weighted power Lindley distribution can be used quite effectively in analyzing real lifetime data.

In this study, an extension of the generalized Lindley distribution using the Marshall-Olkin method and its own sub-models is presented. This new model for modelling survival and lifetime data is flexible. Several statistical properties and characterizations of the subject distribution along with its reliability analysis are presented. Statistical inference for the new family such as the Maximum likelihood estimators and the asymptotic variance covariance matrix of the unknown parameters are discussed. A simulation study is considered to compare the efficiency of the different estimators based on mean square error criterion. Finally, a real data set is analyzed to show the flexibility of our proposed model compared with the fit attained by some other competitive distributions.

This paper convolutes two generalized distributions from the family of generated T - X distribution. The new distribution generated from these distributions is called the Generalized Weibull-generalized Exponential Distribution. The properties of the proposed distribution are derived. Method of maximum likelihood estimation is used to estimate the parameters of the distribution and the information matrix is obtained. Thereafter, the distribution is applied to a real life dataset of failure for the air conditioning system and the obtained results are compared with other existing distributions to illustrate the capability and flexibility of the new distribution.

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.

The geometric process (GP) is a simple and direct approach to modeling of the successive inter-arrival time data set with a monotonic trend. In addition, it is a quite important alternative to the non-homogeneous Poisson process. In the present paper, the parameter estimation problem for GP is considered, when the distribution of the first occurrence time is Power Lindley with parameters α and λ . To overcome the parameter estimation problem for GP, the maximum likelihood, modified moments, modified L-moments and modified least-squares estimators are obtained for parameters a, α and λ . The mean, bias and mean squared error (MSE) values associated with these estimators are evaluated for small, moderate and large sample sizes by using Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, two illustrative examples using real data sets are presented in the paper.


The Exponentiated Gumbel (EG) distribution has been proposed to capture some aspects of the data that the Gumbel distribution fails to specify. it has an increasing hazard rate. The Exponentiated Gumbel distribution has applications in hydrology, meteorology, climatology, insurance, finance and geology, among many others. In this paper Firstly, the mathematical and statistical characteristics of the gumbel and Exponentiated Gumbel distribution are presented, then the applications of this distributions are studied using the real data set. Its first moment about origin and moments about mean have been obtained and expressions for skewness, kurtosis have been given. Estimation of its parameter has been discussed using the method of maximum likelihood. In the end, two applications of the gumbel and exponentiated gumbel distribution have been discussed with two real lifetime data sets. The results also confirmed the suitability of the Exponentiated Gumbel distribution for real data collection.

In this work, we proposed and studied the Cubic Transmuted Gompertz (CTG) distribution using the Cubic Transmuted family of distributions which was introduced by Rahman et al. [8] and based on cubic transmutation map. We studied the statistical properties of the new distribution which includes: rth moment, moment generating function order statistics, mean, variance, Renyl entropy. The CTG distribution was fitted to a real data set to demonstrate its flexibility and tractability in modelling real life data.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions for modelling censored multimodal data. The model extends the widely known tobit model by introducing two parameters that control the shape and the asymmetry of the distribution. Basic properties of this new family of distributions are studied in detail and a model for censored positive data is also studied. The problem of estimating parameters is addressed by considering the maximum likelihood method. The score functions and the elements of the observed information matrix are given. Finally, three applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

AbstractThis paper proposes a new extended Lindley distribution, which has a more flexible density and hazard rate shapes than the Lindley and Power Lindley distributions, based on the mixture distribution structure in order to model with new distribution characteristics real data phenomena. Its some distributional properties such as the shapes, moments, quantile function, Bonferonni and Lorenz curves, mean deviations and order statistics have been obtained. Characterizations based on two truncated moments, conditional expectation as well as in terms of the hazard function are presented. Different estimation procedures have been employed to estimate the unknown parameters and their performances are compared via Monte Carlo simulations. The flexibility and importance of the proposed model are illustrated by two real data sets.

AbstractA new generalized class of Lindley distribution is introduced in this paper. This new class is called the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions, and it is generated by using the quantile functions of uniform, exponential, Weibull, log-logistic, logistic and Cauchy distributions. The statistical properties including the modes, moments and Shannon’s entropy are discussed. Three new generalized Lindley distributions are investigated in more details. For estimating the unknown parameters, the maximum likelihood estimation has been used and a simulation study was carried out. Lastly, the usefulness of this new proposed class in fitting lifetime data is illustrated using four different data sets. In the application section, the strength of members of the T-Lindley{Y} class in modeling both unimodal as well as bimodal data sets is presented. A member of the T-Lindley{Y} class of distributions outperformed other known distributions in modeling unimodal and bimodal lifetime data sets.

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.
