In this article, we dened a new four-parameter model called Marshall-Olkin extended power Lomax distribution and studied its properties. Limiting distributions of sample maxima and sample minima are derived. The reliability of a system when both stress and strength follows the new distribution is discussed and associated characteristics are computed for simulated data. Finally, utilizing maximum likelihood estimation, the goodness of the distribution is tested for real data.

Abstract This article studies the properties of the Topp–Leone linear exponential distribution. The parameters of the new model are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation, and simulation studies are performed to examine the finite sample properties of the parameters. An application of the model is demonstrated using a real data set. Finally, a bivariate extension of the model is proposed.

In this paper, a cubic transformation exponential Weibull distribution is proposed by using the family of cubic transformation distributions introduced by Rahman et al.The reasoning process of the proposed cubic transformation exponential Weibull distribution is discussed in detail, and its statistical properties and parameter estimation are also discussed.Using real data, the maximum likelihood estimation is used to simulate. Through the comparison of fitting results, it is concluded that the cubic transformation exponential Weibull distribution proposed in this paper has stronger applicability.

In this paper, we investigate a new model based on Burr X and Fréchet distribution forextreme values and derive some of its properties. Maximum likelihood estimation alongwith asymptotic confidence intervals is considered for estimating the parameters of thedistribution. We demonstrate empirically the flexibility of the distribution in modelingvarious types of real data. Furthermore, we also provide Bayes estimators and highestposterior density intervals of the parameters of the distribution using Markov ChainMonte Carlo (MCMC) methods.

AbstractLinkage disequilibrium (LD) estimates are often calculated genome-wide for use in many tasks, such as SNP pruning and LD decay estimation. However, in the presence of genotype uncertainty, naive approaches to calculating LD have extreme attenuation biases, incorrectly suggesting that SNPs are less dependent than in reality. These biases are particularly strong in polyploid organisms, which often exhibit greater levels of genotype uncertainty than diploids. A principled approach using maximum likelihood estimation with genotype likelihoods can reduce this bias, but is prohibitively slow for genome-wide applications. Here, we present scalable moment-based adjustments to LD estimates based on the marginal posterior distributions of the genotypes. We demonstrate, on both simulated and real data, that these moment-based estimators are as accurate as maximum likelihood estimators, and are almost as fast as naive approaches based only on posterior mean genotypes. This opens up bias-corrected LD estimation to genome-wide applications. Additionally, we provide standard errors for these moment-based estimators. All methods are implemented in the ldsep package on the Comprehensive R Archive Network https://cran.r-project.org/package=ldsep.

This paper investigates some models in which non-negative observations from a Poisson or generalised Poisson distribution are possibly damaged according to a binomial or quasi-binomial law. The latter case is appropriate when the observations are over-dispersed. Although the extent of the damage is not known, it is assumed that the event of whether or not damage occurred is discernible. The models are particularly suited for certain applications involving accident counts when evidence of certain accidents may be observed even though the accidents themselves may go unreported. Given the number of observed accidents and knowledge as to whether or not some additional accidents have gone unreported, these models may be used to make inferences concerning the actual number of unreported and total number of accidents in the current period, and the numbers of reported, unreported, and/or total accidents in a future period. The models are applied to a real data set giving reported and unreported patient accidents in a large hospital. Both maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation methods are presented and discussed.

In this work, we introduce a new Burr XII power series class of distributions, which is obtained by compounding exponentiated Burr XII and power series distributions and has a strong physical motivation. The new distribution contains several important lifetime models. We derive explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments and generating functions. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure is presented. We assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimators in terms of biases, standard deviations, and mean square of errors by means of two simulation studies. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated by means of three real data sets. The new proposed models provide consistently better fits than other competitive models for these data sets.
