This paper is devoted to study a new four- parameter additive model. The newly suggested model is referred to as the flexible Weibull extension-Burr XII distribution. It is derived by considering a serial system with one component following a flexible Weibull extension distribution and another following a Burr XII distribution. The usefulness of the model stems from the flexibility of its failure rate which accommodates bathtub and modified bathtub among other risk patterns. These two patterns have been widely accepted in several fields, especially reliability and engineering fields. In addition, the importance of the new distribution is that it includes new sub-models which are not known in the literature. Some statistical properties of the proposed distribution such as quantile function, the mode, the rth moment, the moment generating function and the order statistics are discussed. Moreover, the method of maximum likelihood is used to estimate the parameters of the model. Also, to evaluate the performance of the estimators, a simulation study is carried out. Finally, the performance of the proposed distribution is compared through a real data set to some well-known distributions including the new modified Weibull, the additive Burr and the additive Weibull distributions. It is shown that the proposed model provides the best fit for the used real data set.

In this study, we proposed a new generalised transmuted inverse exponential distribution with three parameters and have transmuted inverse exponential and inverse exponential distributions as sub models. The hazard function of the distribution is nonmonotonic, unimodal and inverted bathtub shaped making it suitable for modelling lifetime data. We derived the moment, moment generating function, quantile function, maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters, Renyi entropy and order statistics of the distribution. A real life data set is used to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed model.

The truncated distributions have been widely studied, mainly in life-testing and reliability analysis.  In this paper, we introduce a new right truncated generator related to power Lomax distribution, referred to right truncated power Lomax--G family. The proposed family is a generalization of recently [0, 1] truncated Lomax-G family. Statistical properties like; moments, moment generating function, probability weighted moments, quantile function, mean deviation, order statistics and Rényi entropy are derived. Five new sub-models from the truncated family are presented. Maximum likelihood estimation is investigated and simulation issues are discussed for truncated power Lomax Weibull model as particular case from the family. The flexibility of the truncated power Lomax Weibull is assessed by applying it to a real data set. The application indicates that the truncated power Lomax Weibull distribution model can give better fits than other well-known lifetime distributions.

In this article, we present a new generalization of weighted Weibull distribution using Topp Leone family of distributions. We have studied some statistical properties of the proposed distribution including quantile function, moment generating function, probability generating function, raw moments, incomplete moments, probability, weighted moments, Rayeni and q th entropy. The have obtained numerical values of the various measures to see the eect of model parameters. Distribution of of order statistics for the proposed model has also been obtained. The estimation of the model parameters has been done by using maximum likelihood method. The eectiveness of proposed model is analyzed by means of a real data sets. Finally, some concluding remarks are given.

In this study, transmuted two parameters Rayleigh distribution is proposed using quadratic rank transmutation map. This proposed distribution is more flexible and versatile than two parameters Rayleigh distribution. Some properties of the proposed distribution are derived such as moments, moment generating function, mean, variance, median, quantile function, reliability, and hazard function. The parameter estimation is approached through the method of least square estimation. The th and joint order statistics are also derived for the proposed distribution. The application of proposed model illustrated and compared using real data.

We study a class of software reliability models using quantile function. Various distributional properties of the class of distributions are studied. We also discuss the reliability characteristics of the class of distributions. Inference procedures on parameters of the model based on L-moments are studied. We apply the proposed model to a real data set.

A new Poisson Inverted Exponential distribution is developed from the Poisson family of distribution, which has two parameters. The characteristic of the intended model is unimodal, positive skewed and platykurtic, while the characteristic of the hazard function is the inverted bathtub and the decreasing order. Explicit expression of quantile function, moments (including incomplete and conditional moments), moment generating function, residual life function, R`enyi and q-entropies, probability weighted moment and order statistics of the intended model. The value of unknown parameters is estimated by the maximum likelihood estimate with the confidence interval. Similarly, purposed model compared with well-known other five distributions through different criteria like as goodness of fit, P-P plot, Q-Q plots and K-S test. Likewise, we fitted the PDF and CDF of purposed model with other models, it is clear that intended model is great flexibility and satisfactory fit than those models. Therefore purposed model is more useful in real data and life time data analysis and modelling.

A new three-parameter continuous model called the exponentiated half-logistic Lomax distribution is introduced in this paper. Basic mathematical properties for the proposed model were investigated which include raw and incomplete moments, skewness, kurtosis, generating functions, Rényi entropy, Lorenz, Bonferroni and Zenga curves, probability weighted moment, stress strength model, order statistics, and record statistics. The model parameters were estimated by using the maximum likelihood criterion and the behaviours of these estimates were examined by conducting a simulation study. The applicability of the new model is illustrated by applying it on a real data set.

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.

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.
