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.

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 paper, a composite distribution of Kumaraswamy and Lindley distributions namely, Kumaraswamy-Lindley Kum-L distribution is introduced and studied. The Kum-L distribution generalizes sub-models for some widely known distributions. Some mathematical properties of the Kum-L such as hazard function, quantile function, moments, moment generating function and order statistics are obtained. Estimation of parameters for the Kum-L using maximum likelihood estimation and least square estimation techniques are provided. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed distribution, simulation study and real data example are used.

A new three-parameter generalized distribution, namely, half-logistic generalized Weibull (HLGW) distribution, is proposed. The proposed distribution exhibits increasing, decreasing, bathtub-shaped, unimodal, and decreasing-increasing-decreasing hazard rates. The distribution is a compound distribution of type I half-logistic-G and Dimitrakopoulou distribution. The new model includes half-logistic Weibull distribution, half-logistic exponential distribution, and half-logistic Nadarajah-Haghighi distribution as submodels. Some distributional properties of the new model are investigated which include the density function shapes and the failure rate function, raw moments, moment generating function, order statistics, L-moments, and quantile function. The parameters involved in the model are estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The asymptotic distribution of the estimators is also investigated via Fisher’s information matrix. The likelihood ratio (LR) test is used to compare the HLGW distribution with its submodels. Some applications of the proposed distribution using real data sets are included to examine the usefulness of the distribution.

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.

Many Statisticians have developed and proposed new distributions by extending the existing distributions. The distributions are extended by adding one or more parameters to the baseline distributions to make it more flexible in fitting different kinds of data. In this study, a new four-parameter lifetime distribution called the Topp Leone Kumaraswamy Lomax distribution was introduced by using a family of distributions which has been proposed in the literature. Some mathematical properties of the distribution such as the moments, moment generating function, quantile function, survival, hazard, reversed hazard and odds functions were presented. The estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood method was discussed. Three real life data sets representing the failure times of the air conditioning system of an air plane, the remission times (in months) of a random sample of one hundred and twenty-eight (128) bladder cancer patients and Alumina (Al2O3) data were used to show the fit and flexibility of the new distribution over some lifetime distributions in literature. The results showed that the new distribution fits better in the three datasets considered.

This work is focused on the four parameters Exponentiated Cubic Transmuted Weibull distribution which mostly found its application in reliability analysis most especially for data that are non-monotone and Bi-modal. Structural properties such as moment, moment generating function, Quantile function, Renyi entropy, and order statistics were investigated. The maximum likelihood estimation technique was used to estimate the parameters of the distribution. Application to two real-life data sets shows the applicability of the distribution in modeling real data.

In this paper, bivariate compound exponentiated survival function of the Lomax distribution is constructed based on the technique considered by AL-Hussaini (2011). Some properties of the distribution are derived. Maximum likelihood estimation and prediction of the future observations are considered. Also, Bayesian estimation and prediction are studied under squared error loss function. The performance of the proposed bivariate distribution is examined using a simulation study. Finally, a real data set is analyzed under the proposed distribution to illustrate its flexibility for real-life application.

This article addresses the various properties and different methods of estimation of the unknown parameters of a three-parameter Dagum distribution from the frequentist point of view. Although, our main focus is on estimation from frequentist point of view, yet, various mathematical and statistical properties of the Dagum distribution (such as quantiles, moments, moment generating function, hazard rate, mean residual lifetime, mean past lifetime, mean deviation about mean and median,  various entropies, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves and order statistics) are derived. We briefly describe different frequentist approaches, namely, maximum likelihood estimators, moments estimators, L-moment estimators, percentile based estimators, least squares estimators, maximum product of spacings estimators,  minimum distances estimators, Cram\'{e}r-von-Mises estimators, Anderson-Darling and right-tail Anderson-Darling estimators and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to compare the performances of the proposed methods of estimation for both small and large samples. Finally, a real data set have been analyzed for illustrative purposes.

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.
