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.

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 article, we introduce a new method for generating distributions which we refer to as logarithm transformed (LT) method. Some statistical properties of the LT method are established. Based on the LT method, we introduce a new generalization of the Lomax distribution that provides better fits than the Lomax distribution and some of its known generalizations. We refer to the new distribution as logarithmic transformed Lomax (LTL) distribution. Various properties of the LTL distribution, including explicit expressions for the moments, quantiles, moment generating function, incomplete moments, conditional moments, Rényi entropy, and order statistics are derived. It appears to be a distribution capable of allowing monotonically decreasing and upside-down bathtub shaped hazard rates depending on its parameters, so it turns out to be quite flexible for analysing non-negative real life data. We discuss the estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood method using random censoring scheme. The proposed distribution is utilized to fit a censored data set and the distribution is shown to be more appropriate to the data set than the compared distributions. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60E05, 60E10, 62E15.

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.

This article proposed a new distribution referred to as the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution as an extension of the popular Lomax distribution in the form of Exponential Lomax by using the Quadratic rank transmutation map proposed and studied in earlier research. Using the transmutation map, we defined the probability density function (PDF) and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the transmuted Exponential Lomax distribution. Some properties of the new distribution were extensively studied after derivation. The estimation of the distribution’s parameters was also done using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the proposed probability distribution was checked in comparison with some other generalizations of Lomax distribution using three real-life data sets. The results obtained indicated that TELD performs better than the other distributions comprising power Lomax, Exponential-Lomax, and the Lomax distributions.

The Lomax distribution is arguably one of the most useful lifetime distributions, explaining the developments of its extensions or generalizations through various schemes. The Marshall–Olkin length-biased Lomax distribution is one of these extensions. The associated model has been used in the frameworks of data fitting and reliability tests with success. However, the theory behind this distribution is non-existent and the results obtained on the fit of data were sufficiently encouraging to warrant further exploration, with broader comparisons with existing models. This study contributes in these directions. Our theoretical contributions on the the Marshall–Olkin length-biased Lomax distribution include an original compounding property, various stochastic ordering results, equivalences of the main functions at the boundaries, a new quantile analysis, the expressions of the incomplete moments under the form of a series expansion and the determination of the stress–strength parameter in a particular case. Subsequently, we contribute to the applicability of the Marshall–Olkin length-biased Lomax model. When combined with the maximum likelihood approach, the model is very effective. We confirm this claim through a complete simulation study. Then, four selected real life data sets were analyzed to illustrate the importance and flexibility of the model. Especially, based on well-established standard statistical criteria, we show that it outperforms six strong competitors, including some extended Lomax models, when applied to these data sets. To our knowledge, such comprehensive applied work has never been carried out for this model.

In this paper, we introduce a new continuous probability distribution developed from two classical distributions namely, gamma and exponential distributions. The new distribution is called the Nwikpe distribution. Some statistical properties of the new distribution were derived. The shapes of its probability density function have been established for different values of the parameters.  The moment generating function, the first four raw moments, the second moment about the mean, Renyi’s entropy and the distribution of order statistics were derived. The parameter of the new distribution was estimated using maximum likelihood method. The shape of the hazard function of the new distribution is increasing. The flexibility of the distribution was shown using some real life data sets, the goodness of fit shows that the new distribution gives a better fit to the data sets used in this study than the one parameter exponential, Shanker, Lindley, Akash, Sujatha and Amarendra distributions.

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.

A new sole parameter probability distribution named the Tornumonkpe distribution has been derived in this paper. The new model is a blend of gamma (2,  and gamma(3  distributions. The shape of its density for different values of the parameter has been shown.  The mathematical expression for the moment generating function, the first three raw moments, the second and third moments about the mean, the distribution of order statistics, coefficient of variation and coefficient of skewness has been given. The parameter of the new distribution was estimated using the method of maximum likelihood. The goodness of fit of the Tornumonkpe distribution was established by fitting the distribution to three real life data sets. Using -2lnL, Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), and Akaike Information Criterion(AIC) as criterial for selecting the best fitting model, it was revealed that the new distribution outperforms the one parameter exponential, Shanker and Amarendra distributions for the data sets 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.

In this study, we propose a new lifetime model, named truncated Cauchy power Lomax (TCPL) distribution. The TCPL distribution has many applications in biomedical and physical sciences, and we illustrate that its application herein. We used bladder cancer dataset related to medicine to illustrate the flexibility of the TCPL distribution. The new distribution is more flexible than some well-known models. We also calculated some fundamental properties like; moments, quantile function, moment generating function and order statistics for the TCPL model. The model parameters were estimated using maximum likelihood method for estimation. At the end of the paper, the simulation study is performed to assess the effectiveness of the estimates.
