We propose a new two-parameter discrete model, called discrete Type-II half-logistics exponential (DTIIHLE) distribution using the survival discretization approach. The DTIIHLE distribution can be utilized to model COVID-19 data. The model parameters are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. The usefulness of the proposed distribution is evaluated using two real-life COVID-19 data sets. The DTIIHLE distribution provides a superior fit to COVID-19 data as compared with competitive discrete models including the discrete-Pareto, discrete Burr-XII, discrete log-logistic, discrete-Lindley, discrete-Rayleigh, discrete inverse-Rayleigh, and natural discrete-Lindley.

<p>This paper introduces a new four-parameter lifetime model, which extends the Marshall-Olkin Fr\'{e}chet distribution introduced by Krishna et al. (2013), called the transmuted Marshall-Olkin Fr\'{e}chet distribution. Various structural properties including ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating function, R\'{e}nyi and q-entropies and order statistics are<br />derived. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. We illustrate the superiority of the proposed distribution over other existing distributions in the literature in modeling two real life data sets.</p>

In this article, we introduced a new extension of the binomial-exponential 2 distribution. We discussed some of its structural mathematical properties. A simple type Copula-based construction is also presented to construct the bivariate- and multivariate-type distributions. We estimated the model parameters via the maximum likelihood method. Finally, we illustrated the importance of the new model by the study of two real data applications to show the flexibility and potentiality of the new model in modeling skewed and symmetric data sets.

A new generalization of the Frechet distribution called Lehmann Type II Frechet Poisson distribution is defined and studied. Various structural mathematical properties of the proposed model including ordinary moments, incomplete moments, generating functions, order statistics, Renyi entropy, stochastic ordering, Bonferroni and Lorenz curve, mean and median deviation, stress-strength parameter are investigated. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. We examine the performance of the maximum likelihood method by means of a numerical simulation study. The new distribution is applied for modeling three real data sets to illustrate empirically its flexibility and tractability in modeling life time data.

In this paper, a new parametric compound G family of continuous probability distributions called the Poisson generalized exponential G (PGEG) family is derived and studied. Relevant mathematical properties are derived. Some new bivariate G families using the theorems of “Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula”, “the modified Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copula”, “the Clayton copula”, and “the Renyi’s entropy copula” are presented. Many special members are derived, and a special attention is devoted to the exponential and the one parameter Pareto type II model. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. A graphical simulation is performed to assess the finite sample behavior of the estimators of the maximum likelihood method. Two real-life data applications are proposed to illustrate the importance of the new family.

In this article, we propose a new family of distributions using the T-X family named as modified generalized Marshall-Olkin family of distributions. Comprehensive mathematical and statistical properties of this family of distributions are provided. The model parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood method. The maximum likelihood estimation under Type-II censoring is also discussed. Two lifetime data sets are used to show the suitability and applicability of the new family of distributions. For comparison purposes, different goodness of fit tests are used.

This work introduces a new one-parameter compound G family. Relevant statistical properties are derived. The new density can be “asymmetric right skewed with one peak and a heavy tail”, “symmetric” and “left skewedwith one peak”. The new hazard function can be “upside-down”, “upside-down-constant”, “increasing”, “decreasing” and “decreasing-constant”. Many bivariate types have been also derived via different common copulas. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood method. The usefulness and flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of two real data sets.

For bounded unit interval, we propose a new Kumaraswamy generalized (G) family of distributions through a new generator which could be an alternate to the Kumaraswamy-G family proposed earlier by Cordeiro and de Castro in 2011. This new generator can also be used to develop alternate G-classes such as beta-G, McDonald-G, Topp-Leone-G, Marshall-Olkin-G, and Transmuted-G for bounded unit interval. Some mathematical properties of this new family are obtained and maximum likelihood method is used for the estimation of G-family parameters. We investigate the properties of one special model called the new Kumaraswamy-Weibull (NKwW) distribution. Parameters of NKwW model are estimated by using maximum likelihood method, and the performance of these estimators are assessed through simulation study. Two real life data sets are analyzed to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the proposed model. In fact, this model outperforms some generalized Weibull models such as the Kumaraswamy-Weibull, McDonald-Weibull, beta-Weibull, exponentiated-generalized Weibull, gamma-Weibull, odd log-logistic-Weibull, Marshall-Olkin-Weibull, transmuted-Weibull and exponentiated-Weibull distributions when applied to these data sets. The bivariate extension of the family is also proposed, and the estimation of parameters is dealt. The usefulness of the bivariate NKwW model is illustrated empirically by means of a real-life data set.

In this study, a new flexible family of distributions is proposed with its statistical properties as well as some useful characterizations. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the unknown model parameters by means of two simulation studies. A new regression model is proposed based on a special member of the proposed family called, the log odd power Lindley Weibull distribution. Residual analysis is conducted to evaluate the model assumptions. Four applications to real data sets are given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed model.

In this article, a four parameter generalization of the flexible Weibull extension distribution so-called generalized flexible Weibull extension distribution is studied. The proposed model belongs to T-X family of distributions proposed by Alzaatreh et al. [5]. The suggested model is much flexible and accommodates increasing, unimodal and modified unimodal failure rates. A comprehensive expression of the numerical properties and the estimates of the model parameters are obtained using maximum likelihood method. By appropriate choice of parameter values the new model reduces to four sub models. The proposed model is illustrated by means of three real data sets.
