Anewfour-parameter model called the gamma-exponentiated exponential-Weibull distribution is being introduced in this paper. The new model turns out to be quite flexible for analyzing positive data. Representations of certain statistical functions associated with this distribution are obtained. Some special cases are pointed out as well. The parameters of the proposed distribution are estimated by making use of the maximum likelihood approach. This density function is utilized to model two actual data sets. The new distribution is shown to provide a better fit than related distributions as measured by the Anderson-Darling and Cram?r-von Mises goodness-of-fit statistics. The proposed distribution may serve as a viable alternative to other distributions available in the literature for modeling positive data arising in various fields of scientific investigation such as the physical and biological sciences, hydrology, medicine, meteorology and engineering.

Generalizing existing distributions by adding shape parameters leads to more flexible models. We define a new lifetime model called the transmuted generalized modified Weibull distribution from the family proposed by Aryal and Tsokos [1], which has a bathtub shaped hazard rate function. Some structural properties of the new model are investigated. The parameters of this distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood approach. The proposed model turns out to be quite flexible for analyzing positive data. In fact, it can provide better fits than related distributions as measured by the Anderson-Darling (A*) and Cram?r-von Mises (W*) statistics, which is illustrated by applying it to two real data sets. It may serve as a viable alternative to other distributions for modeling positive data arising in several fields of science such as hydrology, biostatistics, meteorology and engineering.

A new five-parameter lifetime distribution called the exponentiated Kumaraswamy-Weibull distribution is introduced. It includes several important sub-models as special cases such as exponentiated Weibull, Kumaraswamy-Weibull, exponentiated exponential, exponentiated Rayleigh and Weibull. Essential mathematical and statistical properties for the distribution are presented. A proximate form of the mode is derived and it can be used to derive mode forms of other well-known distributions. Important parametric characterizations for probability density and hazard functions are discussed. The estimation of the parameters by maximum likelihood method is discussed. Three real data sets are used to show its excellent performance fit over existing popular lifetime models. It is effective model to analyze several positive data sets.

Several recent papers treated robust and efficient estimation of tail index parameters for (equivalent) Pareto and truncated exponential models, for large and small samples. New robust estimators of “generalized median” (GM) and “trimmed mean” (T) type were introduced and shown to provide more favorable trade-offs between efficiency and robustness than several well-established estimators, including those corresponding to methods of maximum likelihood, quantiles, and percentile matching. Here we investigate performance of the above mentioned estimators on real data and establish — via the use of goodness-of-fit measures — that favorable theoretical properties of the GM and T type estimators translate into an excellent practical performance. Further, we arrive at guidelines for Pareto model diagnostics, testing, and selection of particular robust estimators in practice. Model fits provided by the estimators are ranked and compared on the basis of Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Cramér-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling statistics.

A class of goodness of fit tests for Marshal-Olkin Extended Rayleigh distribution with estimated parameters is proposed. The tests are based on the empirical distribution function. For determination of asymptotic percentage points, Kolomogorov-Sminrov, Cramer-von-Mises, Anderson-Darling,Watson, and Liao-Shimokawa test statistic are used. This article uses Monte Carlo simulations to obtain asymptotic percentage points for Marshal-Olkin extended Rayleigh distribution. Moreover, power of the goodness of fit test statistics is investigated for this lifetime model against several alternatives.

This paper deals with some characterization results based on truncated expectations in the continuous as well as in the discrete case. Both the right and left truncations are considered and some general results are derived. Some of the known results dealing with truncated moments, residual moments and residual partial moments are obtained as special cases. These results are utilized to obtain certain characterization results for the Lindley type distributions. The characterization results provide new methods for estimating the unknown parameter of Lindley-type distributions and their goodness-of-fit. The results on the Lindley-type distributions are applied on some real data sets.

In this paper is given the use Weibull distribution (WD) as theoretical reliability model for analysis of the hydro-system of excavator SchRs 800, which is accepted on the basis of Pearson (χ2), Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) and Cramér-von Mises (CvM) goodness-of-fit tests. The time of work without failure of the hydro-system of excavator SchRs 800 for accepted Weibull model of reliability for probability of 50 % is T50%=0.3417⋅103[h], for probability of 80 % is T80%=0.1884⋅103[h] and for probability of 90% is T90%=0.127⋅103[h].

This article studied the goodness-of-fit tests for the beta Gompertz distribution with four parameters based on a complete sample. The parameters were estimated by the maximum likelihood method. Critical values were found by Monte Carlo simulation for the modified Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, Cramer-von Mises, and Lilliefors test statistics. The power of these test statistics founded the optimal alternative distribution. Real data applications were used as examples for the goodness of fit tests.

This paper presents a new generalization of the Topp-Leone distribution called the Topp-Leone Weibull Distribution (TLWD). Some of the mathematical properties of the proposed distribution are derived, and the maximum likelihood estimation method is adopted in estimating the parameters of the proposed distribution. An application of the proposed distribution alongside with some well-known distributions belonging to the Topp-Leone generated family of distributions, to a real lifetime data set reveals that the proposed distribution exhibits more flexibility in modeling lifetime data based on some comparison criteria such as maximized log-likelihood, Akaike Information Criterion [AIC=2k-2 log⁡(L) ], Kolmogorov-Smirnov test statistic (K-S) and Anderson Darling test statistic (A*) and Crammer-Von Mises test statistic (W*).

In this paper, we have considered different estimation methods of the unknown parameters of a binomial-exponential 2 distribution. First, we briefly describe different frequentist approaches such as the method of moments, modified moments, ordinary least-squares estimation, weightedleast-squares estimation, percentile, maximum product of spacings, Cramer-von Mises type minimum distance, Anderson-Darling and Right-tail Anderson-Darling, and compare them using extensive numerical simulations. We apply our proposed methodology to three real data sets related to the total monthly rainfall during April, May and September at Sao Carlos, Brazil.
