This paper aims to develop a new class of distributions, namely, type II exponentiated half-logistic Topp-Leone power series (TIIEHL-TL-GPS) class of distributions. Some important properties including moments, quantiles, moment generating function, entropy and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation is conducted study to evaluate the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimates. We also present three real data examples to illustrate the usefulness of the new class of distributions. Results shows that the proposed model performs better than nested and several non-nested models on selected data sets

We present a new class of distributions called the Topp-Leone-G Power Series (TL-GPS) class of distributions. This model is obtained by compounding the Topp-Leone-G distribution with the power series distribution. Statistical prop- erties of the TL-GPS class of distributions are obtained. Maximum likelihood estimates for the proposed model were obtained. A simulation study is carried out for the special case of Topp-Leone Log-Logistic Poisson distribution to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates. Finally, we apply Topp-Leone-log-logistic Poisson distribution to real data sets to illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the proposed class of distributions.

A new lifetime model, with four positive parameters, called the Weibull Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is proposed. The proposed model extends the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution and provides great flexibility in modeling data in practice. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution are obtained including expansions for the cumulative and density functions, moments, generating function, mean deviations, order statistics and reliability. Estimation of the model parameters is carried out by the maximum likelihood estimation method. A simulation study is presented to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The flexibility of the new model is examined by applying it to two real data sets.

We propose a new generalized class of distributions called the odd Lindley-G Power Series (OL-GPS) family of distributions and a special class, namely, odd Lindley-Weibull power series (OL-WPS) family of distributions. We also derive the structural properties of the OL-GPS family of distributions including moments, order statistics, Rényi entropy, mean and median deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and maximum likelihood estimates. Sub-models of the special cases were also obtained together with their structural properties. A simulation study to examine the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model

In this paper, the inverse gamma power series (IGPS) class of distributions asymmetric is introduced. This family is obtained by compounding inverse gamma and power series distributions. We present the density, survival and hazard functions, moments and the order statistics of the IGPS. Estimation is first discussed by means of the quantile method. Then, an EM algorithm is implemented to compute the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. Moreover, a simulation study is carried out to examine the effectiveness of these estimates. Finally, the performance of the new class is analyzed by means of two asymmetric real data sets.

We propose a new family of distributions called the exponentiated Kumaraswamy-G class with three extra positive parameters, which generalizes the Cordeiro and de Castro's family. Some special distributions in the new class are discussed. We derive some mathematical properties of the proposed class including explicit expressions for the quantile function, ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, mean deviations, reliability, Rényi entropy and Shannon entropy. The method of maximum likelihood is used to fit the distributions in the proposed class. Simulations are performed in order to assess the asymptotic behavior of the maximum likelihood estimates. We illustrate its potentiality with applications to two real data sets which show that the extended Weibull model in the new class provides a better fit than other generalized Weibull distributions.

We propose a generalized class of distributions called the Webull-G Power Series (WGPS) family of distributions and its sub-model Weibull-G logarithmic (WGL) distributions. Structural properties of the WGPS family of distributions and its sub-model WGL distribution including hazard function, moments, conditional moments, order statistics, R´enyi entropy and maximum likelihood estimates are derived. A simulation study to examine the bias, mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators for each parameter is presented. Finally, real data examples are presented to illustrate the applicability and usefulness of the proposed model.

Actuaries are often in search of nding an adequate loss model in the scenario of actuarial and financial risk management problems. In this work, we propose a new approach to obtain a new class of loss distributions. A special sub-model of the proposed family, called the Weibull-loss model isconsidered in detail. Some mathematical properties are derived and maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters are obtained. Certain characterizations of the proposed family are also provided. A simulation study is done to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, an application of the proposed model to the vehicle insurance loss data set is presented.

A one parameter right skewed, upside down bathtub type, heavy-tailed distribution is derived. Various statistical properties and maximum likelihood approaches for estimation purpose are studied. Five different real data sets with four different models are considered to illustrate the suitability of the proposed model.

A flexible lifetime distribution with increasing, decreasing, inverted bathtub and modified bathtub hazard rate called Modified Burr XII-Inverse Weibull (MBXII-IW) is introduced and studied. The density function of MBXII-IW is exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped.  Descriptive measures on the basis of quantiles, moments, order statistics and reliability measures are theoretically established. The MBXII-IW distribution is characterized via different techniques. Parameters of MBXII-IW distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study is performed to illustrate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). The potentiality of MBXII-IW distribution is demonstrated by its application to real data sets: serum-reversal times and quarterly earnings.
