Many existing distributions in literatures does not have the modeling fits capacity to adequately describe the real-life phenomena. The Exponential Pareto (EP) distribution has further gained some generalizations among several authors using different generator techniques with an aim to obtain a new distribution with greater flexibility. This article proposes Gompertz Exponential Pareto (GEP) distribution using the Gompertz generator. Findings from the study revealed some lifetime distributions as special cases and mathematical properties of the distribution investigated including the mean, variance, coefficient of variation, quantile, moment, moment generating function and, order statistics. The distribution can be positively or negatively skewed. It is unimodal with failure rates whose shapes could be reversed J bathtub, constant, decreasing and, increasing and the parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation approach. Applications to two real-life datasets revealed the ability of GEP distribution to provide more flexibilities and better fit to the dataset compared to some previously proposed distributions for the data. The results also revealed that GEP had the superior performance over other generalizations of EP distribution existing in literatures and the performance has further strengthened the usefulness of the Gompertz-generator technique.

This article examines the flexibility of the Zubair-G family of distribution using the Dagum distribution. The proposed distribution is called the Zubair-Dagum distribution. The various mathematical properties of this distribution such as the Quantile function, Moments, Moment generating function, Reliability analysis, Entropy and Order statistics were obtained. The parameter estimates of the proposed distribution were also derived and estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. The new distribution is right skewed and has various bathtub and monotonically decreasing shapes. Our numerical illustrations using two real-life datasets substantiate the applicability, flexibility and superiority of the proposed distribution over competing distributions.

Motivated mainly by lifetime issues, a new lifetime distribution coined ``Discrete Poisson-Gold distribution'' is introduced in this paper. Different structural properties of the new distribution are derived including moment generating function and the $r^{th}$ moment and others are presented. In addition, we discussed various important mathematical properties of the new distribution including estimation procedures for estimating the distribution parameters using the maximum likelihood and method of moments. The usefulness and credibility of the distribution are illustrated by means of two real-data applications to show its superior performance over some other well-known lifetime distributions and to prove its versatility in practical applications.

A new two-parameter lifetime distribution has been proposed in this study. The distribution is called Samade distribution. The model is motivated by the wide use of the lifetime models derived from the mixture of gamma and exponential distributions. Its mathematical properties which include the first four moments, variance as well as coefficient of variation, reliability function, hazard function, survival function, Renyi entropy measure and distribution of order statistics have been successfully derived. The maximum likelihood estimation of its parameters and application to real life data have been discussed. Application of this model to three real datasets shown that the proposed model yields a satisfactorily better fit than other existing lifetime distributions. The comparism of goodness-of-fits were established using -2Loglikelihood, AIC and BIC.

In this work, a new family of distributions, which extends the Beta transmuted family, was obtained, called the Modified Beta Transmuted Family of distribution. This derived family has the Beta Family of Distribution and the Transmuted family of distribution as subfamilies. The Modified beta transmuted frechet, modified beta transmuted exponential, modified beta transmuted gompertz and modified beta transmuted lindley were obtained as special cases. The analytical expressions were studied for some statistical properties of the derived family of distribution which includes the moments, moments generating function and order statistics. The estimates of the parameters of the family were obtained using the maximum likelihood estimation method. Using the exponential distribution as a baseline for the family distribution, the resulting distribution (modified beta transmuted exponential distribution) was studied and its properties. The modified beta transmuted exponential distribution was applied to a real life time data to assess its flexibility in which the results shows a better fit when compared to some competitive models.

In this paper, a composite distribution of Kumaraswamy and Lindley distributions namely, Kumaraswamy-Lindley Kum-L distribution is introduced and studied. The Kum-L distribution generalizes sub-models for some widely known distributions. Some mathematical properties of the Kum-L such as hazard function, quantile function, moments, moment generating function and order statistics are obtained. Estimation of parameters for the Kum-L using maximum likelihood estimation and least square estimation techniques are provided. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed distribution, simulation study and real data example are used.

In this paper, a new three-parameter lifetime distribution is introduced; the new model is a generalization of the log-logistic (LL) model, and it is called the alpha power transformed log-logistic (APTLL) distribution. The APTLL distribution is more flexible than some generalizations of log-logistic distribution. We derived some mathematical properties including moments, moment-generating function, quantile function, Rényi entropy, and order statistics of the new model. The model parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood method of estimation. The simulation study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the estimates. Finally, we used one real-life dataset to show the flexibility of the APTLL distribution.

AbstractThe present paper introduces an advanced five parameter lifetime model which is obtained by compounding exponentiated quasi power Lindley distribution with power series family of distributions. The EQPLPS family of distributions contains several lifetime sub-classes such as quasi power Lindley power series, power Lindley power series, quasi Lindley power series and Lindley power series. The proposed distribution exhibits decreasing, increasing and bathtub shaped hazard rate functions depending on its parameters. It is more flexible as it can generate new lifetime distributions as well as some existing distributions. Various statistical properties including closed form expressions for density function, cumulative function, limiting behaviour, moment generating function and moments of order statistics are brought forefront. The capability of the quantile measures in terms of Lambert W function is also discussed. Ultimately, the potentiality and the flexibility of the new class of distributions has been demonstrated by taking three real life data sets by comparing its sub-models.

In this article, a new four-parameter lifetime model called the beta generalized inverse Rayleigh distribution (BGIRD) is defined and studied. Mixture representation of this model is derived. Curve’s behavior of probability density function, reliability function, and hazard function are studied. Next, we derived the quantile function, median, mode, moments, harmonic mean, skewness, and kurtosis. In addition, the order statistics and the mean deviations about the mean and median are found. Other important properties including entropy (Rényi and Shannon), which is a measure of the uncertainty for this distribution, are also investigated. Maximum likelihood estimation is adopted to the model. A simulation study is conducted to estimate the parameters. Four real-life data sets from difference fields were applied on this model. In addition, a comparison between the new model and some competitive models is done via information criteria. Our model shows the best fitting for the real data.

In this paper, a generalized modification of the Kumaraswamy distribution is proposed, and its distributional and characterizing properties are studied. This distribution is closed under scaling and exponentiation, and has some well-known distributions as special cases, such as the generalized uniform, triangular, beta, power function, Minimax, and some other Kumaraswamy related distributions. Moment generating function, Lorenz and Bonferroni curves, with its moments consisting of the mean, variance, moments about the origin, harmonic, incomplete, probability weighted, L, and trimmed L moments, are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method is used for estimating its parameters and applied to six different simulated data sets of this distribution, in order to check the performance of the estimation method through the estimated parameters mean squares errors computed from the different simulated sample sizes. Finally, four real-life data sets are used to illustrate the usefulness and the flexibility of this distribution in application to real-life data.
