AbstractThree methods for fitting multiplicative models to observed, cross-classified risk data are compared. They are the method of Bailey–Simon, the method of marginal totals and a maximum likelihood method. The methods are applied to a number of risk data sets and compared with respect to balance and goodness-of-fit.

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.

Inverse Weibull Distribution

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.

Schlumberger Array

Modern digital sonic tools can record full waveforms using an array of receivers. The recorded waveforms are extremely complicated because wave components overlap in time. Conventional beamforming approaches, such as semblance processing, while robust, sometimes do not resolve the interfering wave components propagating at similar speeds, such as multiple compressional arrivals due to the formation alteration surrounding the borehole. Here the maximum‐likelihood method (MLM), a high‐resolution array processing algorithm, is modified and applied to process borehole array sonic data. Extensive modifications of the original MLM algorithm were necessary because of the transient character of the sonic data and its effect upon the spectral covariance matrix. We applied MLM to several array sonic data sets, including laboratory data, synthetic waveforms, and field data taken by a Schlumberger array sonic tool. MLM’s slowness resolution is demonstrated in resolving a secondary compressional arrival from the primary compressional arrival in an altered formation, and the formation compressional arrival in the presence of a stronger casing arrival in an unbonded cased hole. In comparison with the semblance processing results, the MLM results clearly show a better slowness resolution. However, in the case of a weak formation arrival, the semblance processing tends to enhance and resolve the weak arrival by the semblance normalization procedure, while the MLM, designed to estimate the signal strength, does not. The heavy computational requirement (mainly, many matrix inversions) in the MLM makes it much slower than semblance processing, which may prohibit implementation of the MLM algorithm in a real‐time environment.

New Distribution

In this paper, we present and study a new four-parameter lifetime distribution obtained by the combination of the so-called type II Topp–Leone-G and transmuted-G families and the inverted Kumaraswamy distribution. By construction, the new distribution enjoys nice flexible properties and covers some well-known distributions which have already proven themselves in statistical applications, including some extensions of the Bur XII distribution. We first present the main functions related to the new distribution, with discussions on their shapes. In particular, we show that the related probability density function is left, right skewed, near symmetrical and reverse J shaped, with a notable difference regarding the right tailed, illustrating the flexibility of the distribution. Then, the related model is displayed, with the estimation of the parameters by the maximum likelihood method and the consideration of two practical data sets. We show that the proposed model is the best one in terms of standard model selection criteria, including Akaike information and Bayesian information criteria, and goodness of fit tests against three well-established competitors. Then, for the new model, the theoretical background on the maximum likelihood method is given, with numerical guaranties of the efficiency of the estimates obtained via a simulation study. Finally, the main mathematical properties of the new distribution are discussed, including asymptotic results, quantile function, Bowley skewness and Moors kurtosis, mixture representations for the probability density and cumulative density functions, ordinary moments, incomplete moments, probability weighted moments, stress-strength reliability and order statistics.

A new generator of continuous distributions called the Inverse Lomax-Exponentiated G family, which has three extra positive parameters is proposed. The structural properties of the new family that holds for any continuous baseline model including explicit density function expressions, moments, inequality measurements, moment generating function, reliability functions, Renyi and Shanon entropies, and distribution of order statistics are derived. A Monte Carlo simulation to test the efficiency of the maximum likelihood estimates is conducted. The application of the new sub-model to the two data sets using the maximum likelihood method indicates that the new model is better than the existing competitors.

Positive Support

In this paper, two new distributions were introduced to model unimodal and/or bimodal data. The first distribution, which was obtained by applying a simple transformation to a unit-Birnbaum–Saunders random variable, is useful for modeling data with positive support, while the second is appropriate for fitting data on the (0,1) interval. Extensions to regression models were also studied in this work, and statistical inference was performed from a classical perspective by using the maximum likelihood method. A small simulation study is presented to evaluate the benefits of the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. Finally, two applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.

In this paper, a flexible lifetime distribution called Cubic rank transmuted modified Burr III-Pareto (CRTMBIII-P) is developed on the basis of the cubic ranking transmutation map. The density function of CRTMBIII-P is arc, exponential, left-skewed, right-skewed and symmetrical shaped. Descriptive measures such as moments, incomplete moments, inequality measures, residual life function and reliability measures are theoretically established. The CRTMBIII-P distribution is characterized via ratio of truncated moments. Parameters of the CRTMBIII-P distribution are estimated using maximum likelihood method. The simulation study for the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the parameters of the CRTMBIII-P distribution is carried out. The potentiality of CRTMBIII-P distribution is demonstrated via its application to the real data sets: tensile strength of carbon fibers and strengths of glass fibers. Goodness of fit of this distribution through different methods is studied.
