In this article, an extension of the transmuted-G family is proposed, in the so-called Poison transmuted-G family of distributions. Some of its statistical properties including quantile function, moment generating function, order statistics, probability weighted moment, stress-strength reliability, residual lifetime, reversed residual lifetime, Rényi entropy and mean deviation are derived. A few important special models of the proposed family are listed. Stochastic characterizations of the proposed family based on truncated moments, hazard function and reverse hazard function, are also studied. The family parameters are estimated via the maximum likelihood approach. A simulation study is carried out to examine the bias and mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators. The advantage of the proposed family in data fitting is illustrated by means of two applications to failure time data sets.

In this paper, we propose a new class of continuous distributions with two extra shape parameters called the a new type I half logistic-G family of distributions. Some of important properties including ordinary moments, quantiles, moment generating function, mean deviation, moment of residual life, moment of reversed residual life, order statistics and extreme value are obtained. To estimate the model parameters, the maximum likelihood method is also applied by means of Monte Carlo simulation study. A new location-scale regression model based on the new type I half logistic-Weibull distribution is then introduced. Applications of the proposed family is demonstrated in many fields such as survival analysis and univariate data fitting. Empirical results show that the proposed models provide better fits than other well-known classes of distributions in many application fields.

This paper introduces a new lifetime model which is a generalization of the transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution by using the Kumaraswamy generalized (Kw-G) distribution. With the particular case no less than \textbf{seventy nine} sub models as special cases, the so-called Kumaraswamy transmuted exponentiated additive Weibull distribution, introduced by Cordeiro and de Castro (2011) is one of this particular cases. Further, expressions for several probabilistic measures are provided, such as probability density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, mean, variance and median, moment generation function, R\'{e}nyi and q entropies, order estatistics, etc. Inference is maximum likelihood based and the usefulness of the model is showed by using a real dataset.

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.

This article uses the odd Lomax-G family of distributions to study a new extension of the Kumaraswamy distribution called “odd Lomax-Kumaraswamy distribution”. In this article, the density and distribution functions of the odd Lomax-Kumaraswamy distribution are defined and studied with many other properties of the distribution such as the ordinary moments, moment generating function, characteristic function, quantile function, reliability functions, order statistics and other useful measures. The model parameters are estimated by the method of maximum likelihood. The goodness-of-fit of the proposed distribution is demonstrated using two real data sets.

In this paper, a new lifetime model called Kumaraswamy exponentiated U-quadratic (KwEUq) distribution is proposed. Several mathematical and statistical properties are derived and studied such as the explicit form of the quantile function, moments, moment generating function, order statistics, probability weighted moments, Shannon entropy and Renyi entropy. We also found that the usual maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) fail to hold for the KwEUq distribution. Two alternative methods are suggested for the parameter estimation of the KwEUq, the alternative maximum likelihood estimation (AMLE) and modified maximum likelihood estimation (MMLE). Simulation studies were conducted to assess the finite sample behavior of the AMLEs and MMLEs. Finally, we provide application of the KwEUq for illustration purposes.

In this paper, we introduced the Inverted Power Rama distribution as an extension of the Inverted Rama distribution. This new distribution is capable of modeling real life data with upside down bathtub shape and heavy tails. Mathematical and statistical characteristics such as the quantile function, mode, moments and moment generating function, entropy measure, stochastic ordering and distribution of order statistics have been derived. Furthermore, reliability measures like survival function, hazard function and odds function have been derived. The method of maximum likelihood was used for estimating the parameters of the distribution. To demonstrate the applicability of the distribution, a numerical example was given. Based on the results, the proposed distribution performed better than the competing distributions.

Summary We study accelerated failure time models in which the survivor function of the additive error term is log-concave. The log-concavity assumption covers large families of commonly used distributions and also represents the aging or wear-out phenomenon of the baseline duration. For right-censored failure time data, we construct semiparametric maximum likelihood estimates of the finite-dimensional parameter and establish the large sample properties. The shape restriction is incorporated via a nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of the hazard function. Our approach guarantees the uniqueness of a global solution for the estimating equations and delivers semiparametric efficient estimates. Simulation studies and empirical applications demonstrate the usefulness of our method.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions based on the additive model structure. Three submodels of the proposed family are studied in detail. Two simulation studies were performed to discuss the maximum likelihood estimators of the model parameters. The log location-scale regression model based on a new generalization of the Weibull distribution is introduced. Three datasets were used to show the importance of the proposed family. Based on the empirical results, we concluded that the proposed family is quite competitive compared to other models.
