In this paper, a three-parameter continuous distribution, namely, Inverted Beta-Lindley (IBL) distribution is proposed and studied. The new model turns out to be quite flexible for analyzing positive data and has various shapes of density and hazard rate functions. Several statistical properties associated with this distribution are derived. Moreover, point estimation via method of moments and maximum likelihood method are studied and the observed information matrix is derived. An application of the new model to real data shows that it can give consistently a better fit than other important lifetime models.

A new continuous distribution is proposed in this paper. This distribution is a generalization of Mukherjee-Islam distribution using the quadratic rank transmutation map. It is called transmuted Mukherjee-Islam distribution (TMID). We have studied many properties of the new distribution: Reliability and hazard rate functions. The descriptive statistics: mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis are also studied. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the distribution parameters. Order statistics and Renyi and Tsallis entropies were also calculated. Furthermore, the quantile function and the median are calculated.

The need to develop generalizations of existing statistical distributions to make them more flexible in modeling real data sets is vital in parametric statistical modeling and inference. Thus, this study develops a new class of distributions called the extended odd Fréchet family of distributions for modifying existing standard distributions. Two special models named the extended odd Fréchet Nadarajah-Haghighi and extended odd Fréchet Weibull distributions are proposed using the developed family. The densities and the hazard rate functions of the two special distributions exhibit different kinds of monotonic and nonmonotonic shapes. The maximum likelihood method is used to develop estimators for the parameters of the new class of distributions. The application of the special distributions is illustrated by means of a real data set. The results revealed that the special distributions developed from the new family can provide reasonable parametric fit to the given data set compared to other existing distributions.

In this article, we introduced a new extension of the binomial-exponential 2 distribution. We discussed some of its structural mathematical properties. A simple type Copula-based construction is also presented to construct the bivariate- and multivariate-type distributions. We estimated the model parameters via the maximum likelihood method. Finally, we illustrated the importance of the new model by the study of two real data applications to show the flexibility and potentiality of the new model in modeling skewed and symmetric data sets.

<p>This paper proposed a new general class of continuous lifetime distributions, which is a complementary to the Poisson-Lindley family proposed by Asgharzadeh et al. [3]. The new class is derived by compounding the maximum of a random number of independent and identically continuous distributed random variables, and Poisson-Lindley distribution. Several properties of the proposed class are discussed, including a formal proof of probability density, cumulative distribution, and reliability and hazard rate functions. The unknown parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method and the Fisher’s information matrix elements are determined. Some sub-models of this class are investigated and studied in some details. Finally, a real data set is analyzed to illustrate the performance of new distributions.</p>

<p>In this paper we introduce a new distribution for modeling positive data with high kurtosis. This distribution can be seen as an extension of the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution. This extension builds on the quotient of two independent random variables, one exponentiated Rayleigh in the numerator and Beta(q,1) in the denominator with q&gt;0. It is called the slashed exponentiated Rayleigh random variable. There is evidence that the distribution of this new variable can be more flexible in terms of modeling the kurtosis regarding the exponentiated Rayleigh distribution. The properties of this distribution are studied and the parameter estimates are calculated using the maximum likelihood method. An application with real data reveals good performance of this new distribution.</p>

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.

This paper introduces a new four-parameter lifetime model called the odd log-logistic Dagum distribution. The new model has the advantage of being capable of modeling various shapes of aging and failure criteria. We derive some structural properties of the model odd log-logistic Dagum such as order statistics and incomplete moments. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the model parameters. Simulation results to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimation are discussed. We prove empirically the importance and flexibility of the new model in modeling real data.

The paper introduces a new autoregressive model of order one for time seriesof counts. The model is comprised of a linear as well as bilinear autoregressive component. These two components are governed by random coefficients. The autoregression is achieved by using the negative binomial thinning operator. The method of moments and the conditional maximum likelihood method are discussed for the parameter estimation. The practicality of the model is presented on a real data set.

Abstract This article proposes a parsimonious model to forecast large vectors of realized variances (RVar) by exploiting their common dynamics within a latent factor structure. Their long persistence is captured by aggregating latent factors with AR(1) dynamics. The model has obvious advantages over standard autoregressive models not only in terms of parametrization, but also in terms of efficiency, when increasing the dimension of the vector, as it provides more information on the commonality of the series’ dynamics. The model easily accommodates further empirical features of RVars, such as conditional heteroskedasticity. For estimation purposes, we use the maximum likelihood method based on Kalman filter and the efficient method of moments, both being easy to implement and providing accurate estimates. Our empirical illustration on real data shows that the model we propose often outperforms standard models, most of which are, for vectors of RVar series, only implementable under heavy parametric restrictions.

This paper introduces a new family of distributions for modelling censored multimodal data. The model extends the widely known tobit model by introducing two parameters that control the shape and the asymmetry of the distribution. Basic properties of this new family of distributions are studied in detail and a model for censored positive data is also studied. The problem of estimating parameters is addressed by considering the maximum likelihood method. The score functions and the elements of the observed information matrix are given. Finally, three applications to real data sets are reported to illustrate the developed methodology.
