This paper proposes different methods of estimating the scale parameter in the inverse Weibull distribution (IWD). Specifically, the maximum likelihood estimator of the scale parameter in IWD is introduced. We then derived the Bayes estimators for the scale parameter in IWD by considering quasi, gamma, and uniform priors distributions under the square error, entropy, and precautionary loss functions. Finally, the different proposed estimators have been compared by the extensive simulation studies in corresponding the mean square errors and the evolution of risk functions.

Mathematical Justification

The main contribution of this work is to develop a linear exponential loss function (LINEX) to estimate the scale parameter and reliability function of the inverse Weibull distribution (IWD) based on lower record values. We do this by merging a weight into LINEX to produce a new loss function called weighted linear exponential loss function (WLINEX). We then use WLINEX to derive the scale parameter and reliability function of the IWD. Subsequently, we discuss the balanced loss functions for three different types of loss function, which include squared error (SE), LINEX, and WLINEX. The majority of previous scholars determined the weighted balanced coefficients without mathematical justification. One of the main contributions of this work is to utilize nonlinear programming to obtain the optimal values of the weighted coefficients for balanced squared error (BSE), balanced linear exponential (BLINEX), and balanced weighted linear exponential (BWLINEX) loss functions. Furthermore, to examine the performance of the proposed methods—WLINEX and BWLINEX—we conduct a Monte Carlo simulation. The comparison is between the proposed methods and other methods including maximum likelihood estimation, SE loss function, LINEX, BSE, and BLINEX. The results of simulation show that the proposed models BWLINEX and WLINEX in this work have the best performance in estimating scale parameter and reliability, respectively, according to the smallest values of mean SE. This result means that the proposed approach is promising and can be applied in a real environment.

New Distribution

Online marketing refers to the practices of promoting a company’s brand to its potential customers. It helps the companies to find new venues and trade worldwide. Numerous online media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram are available for marketing to promote and sell a company’s product. However, in this study, we use Instagram as a marketing medium to see its impact on sales. To carry out the computational process, the approach of linear regression modeling is adopted. Certain statistical tests are implemented to check the significance of Instagram as a marketing tool. Furthermore, a new statistical model, namely a new generalized inverse Weibull distribution, is introduced. This model is obtained using the inverse Weibull model with the new generalized family approach. Certain mathematical properties of the new generalized inverse Weibull model such as moments, order statistics, and incomplete moments are derived. A complete mathematical treatment of the heavy-tailed characteristics of the new generalized inverse Weibull distribution is also provided. Different estimation methods are discussed to obtain the estimators of the new model. Finally, the applicability of the new generalized inverse Weibull model is established via analyzing Instagram advertising data. The comparison of the new distribution is made with two other models. Based on seven analytical tools, it is observed that the new distribution is a better model to deal with data in the business, finance, and management sectors.

New Distribution

In this paper, we try to contribute to the distribution theory literature by incorporating a new bounded distribution, called the unit generalized inverse Weibull distribution (UGIWD) in the (0, 1) intervals by transformation method. The proposed distribution exhibits  increasing and bathtub shaped hazard rate function. We derive some basic statistical properties of the new distribution. Based on complete sample, the model parameters are obtained by the methods of maximum likelihood, least square, weighted least square, percentile, maximum product of spacing and Cram`er-von-Mises and compared them using Monte Carlo simulation study. In addition, bootstrap confidence intervals of the parameters of the model based on aforementioned methods of estimation are also obtained. We illustrate the performance of the proposed distribution by means of one real data set and the data set shows that the new distribution is more appropriate as compared to unit Birnbaum-Saunders, unit gamma, unit Weibull, Kumaraswamy and unit Burr III distributions. Further, we construct chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests for the UGIWD using right censored data based on Nikulin-Rao-Robson (NRR) statistic and its modification. The criterion test used is the modified chi-squared statistic Y^2, developedby Bagdonavi?ius and Nikulin, 2011 for some parametric models when data are censored. The performances of the proposed test are shown by an intensive simulation study and an application to real data set
