This paper presents a novel two-parameter G family of distributions. Relevant statistical properties such as the ordinary moments, incomplete moments and moment generating function are derived.  Using common copulas, some new bivariate type G families are derived. Special attention is devoted to the standard exponential base line model. The density of the new exponential extension can be “asymmetric and right skewed shape” with no peak, “asymmetric right skewed shape” with one peak, “symmetric shape” and “asymmetric left skewed shape” with one peak. The hazard rate of the new exponential distribution can be “increasing”, “U-shape”, “decreasing” and “J-shape”. The usefulness and flexibility of the new family is illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets. The new family is compared with many common G families in modeling relief times and survival times data sets.

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.

Generalizing probability distributions is a very common practice in the theory of statistics. Researchers have proposed several generalized classes of distributions which are very flexible and convenient to study various statistical properties of the distribution and its ability to fit the real-life data. Several methods are available in the literature to generalize new family of distributions. The Quadratic Rank Transmutation Map (QRTM) is a tool for the construction of new families of non-Gaussian distributions and to modulate a given base distribution for modifying the moments like the skewness and kurtosis with the ability to explore its tail properties and improve the adequacy of the distribution. Recently, a new family of transmutation map, defined as Cubic Rank Transmutation (CRT) has been used by several authors to develop new distributions with application to real-life data. In this article, we have done a review work on the existing generalized rank mapped transmuted probability distributions, available in the literature with various statistical properties such as the reliability, hazard rate and cumulative hazard functions, moments, mean, variance, moment-generating function, order statistics, generalized entropy and quantile function along with its applications. Some future works have also been discussed for generalized rank mapped transmuted distributions.

A new two-parameter continuous distribution called the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution is derived in this paper. The new distribution is a mixture of gamma and exponential distributions. A few statistical properties of the new probability distribution have been derived. The shape of its density for different values of the parameters has also been established.  The first four crude moments, the second and third moments about the mean of the new distribution were derived using the method of moment generating function. Other statistical properties derived include; the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness. The parameters of the new distribution were estimated using maximum likelihood method. The flexibility of the Two-Parameter Nwikpe (TPAN) distribution was shown by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. The goodness of fit shows that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets used for this study.

In this article, we introduce a new distribution called the McDonald Erlangtruncated exponential distribution. Various structural properties including explicit expressions for the moments, moment generating function, mean deviation of the new distribution are derived. The estimation of the model parameters is performed by maximum likelihood method. The usefulness of the new distribution is illustrated by two real data sets. The new model is much better than other important competitive models in modeling relief times and survival times data sets.

In this paper we introduced Gompertz Gumbel II (GG II) distribution which generalizes the Gumbel II distribution. The new distribution is a flexible exponential type distribution which can be used in modeling real life data with varying degree of asymmetry. Unlike the Gumbel II distribution which exhibits a monotone decreasing failure rate, the new distribution is useful for modeling unimodal (Bathtub-shaped) failure rates which sometimes characterised the real life data. Structural properties of the new distribution namely, density function, hazard function, moments, quantile function, moment generating function, orders statistics, Stochastic Ordering, Renyi entropy were obtained. For the main formulas related to our model, we present numerical studies that illustrate the practicality of computational implementation using statistical software. We also present a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators for the GGTT model. Three life data sets were used for applications in order to illustrate the flexibility of the new model.

In this paper, we proposed a new four-parameter Extended Gumbel type-2 distribution which can further be split into the Lehman type I and type II Gumbel type-2 distribution by using a generalized exponentiated G distribution. The distributional properties of the proposed distribution have been studied. We derive the p th moment; thus, we generalize some results in the literature. Expressions for the density, moment-generating function, and r th moment of the order statistics are also obtained. We discuss estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood and provide the information matrix of the developed distribution. Two life data, which consist of data on cancer remission times and survival times of pigs, were used to show the applicability of the Extended Gumbel type-2 distribution in modelling real life data, and we found out that the new model is more flexible than its submodels.

Abstract In this paper, a Poisson XLindley distribution (PXLD) has been obtained by compounding Poisson (PD) distribution with a continuous distribution. A general expression for its rth factorial moment about origin has been derived and hence its raw moments and central moments are obtained. The expressions for its coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis and index of dispersion have also been given. In particular, the method of maximum likelihood and the method of moments for the estimation of its parameters have been discussed. Finally, two real-life data sets are analyzed to investigate the suitability of the proposed distribution in modeling a real data set on Nipah virus infection, number of Hemocytometer yeast cell count data and epileptic seizure counts data.

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.

A new family of probability distributions is defined and applied for modeling symmetric real-life datasets. Some new bivariate type G families using Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, modified Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, Clayton copula and Renyi’s entropy copula are derived. Moreover, some of its statistical properties are presented and studied. Next, the maximum likelihood estimation method is used. A graphical assessment based on biases and mean squared errors is introduced. Based on this assessment, the maximum likelihood method performs well and can be used for estimating the model parameters. Finally, two symmetric real-life applications to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the new family are proposed. The symmetricity of the real data is proved nonparametrically using the kernel density estimation method.

In this paper, we developed a new class of continuous distributions called Burr X Exponential-G Family. Also, we obtained sub-models of this family of distributions such as Burr X Exponential-Rayleigh (BXE-R) and Burr X Exponential Lomax (BXE-Lx) distributions; by showing their respective densities functions. Some structural properties of the proposed family of distributions were derived such as moment, moment generating function, probability weighted moment, renyi entropy and order statistics. We estimate the parameters of the model by using Maximum Likelihood methods. Finally, the results obtained are validated using two real data sets. The results show that BXE-Lx distribution provides better fit in the data sets than some other well known distributions. However, this new family of distributions will serve as an additional generator for developing new sub models to modeling positive real data sets.
