A two-parameter generalization of Sujatha distribution (AGSD), which includes Lindley distribution and Sujatha distribution as particular cases, has been proposed. It's important mathematical and statistical properties including its shape for varying values of parameters, moments, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, and stress-strength reliability have been discussed. Maximum likelihood estimation method has been discussed for estimating its parameters. AGSD provides better fit than Sujatha, Aradhana, Lindley and exponential distributions for modeling real lifetime data.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 1, July 2017, Page: 66-83

In this paper, a two-parameter Rama distribution is proposed. This is coined from Lindley distribution and Rama distribution. Its mathematical and statistical properties which include its shapes, moment, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviation; Bonferroni and Lorenz curves are also discussed. The estimation of parameters has been X-rayed using methods of moment and maximum likelihood. Also AIC and BIC are used to test for the goodness of fit of the model which is applied to a real life data of hepatitis B patients. This new distribution is compared with Rama, 2-parameter Akash, 2-parameter Lindley, Akash, Shanker, Ishita, Lindley and Exponential distributions in order to determine the efficiency of the new model.

This paper suggested a new two parameter distribution named as Hamza distribution. A detailed description about the properties of a suggested distribution including moments, moment generating function, deviations about mean and median, stochastic orderings, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, Renyi entropy, order statistics, hazard rate function and mean residual function has been discussed. The behavior of a probability density function (p.d.f) and cumulative distribution function (c.d.f) have been depicted through graphs. The parameters of the distribution are estimated by the known method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the established distribution have been illustrated through applications, by which we conclude that the established distribution provide better fit.

In this paper, we introduce a new class of distributions by compounding the exponentiated extended Weibull family and power series family. This distribution contains several lifetime models such as the complementary extended Weibull-power series, generalized exponential-power series, generalized linear failure rate-power series, exponentiated Weibull-power series, generalized modifiedWeibull-power series, generalized Gompertz-power series and exponentiated extendedWeibull distributions as special cases. We obtain several properties of this new class of distributions such as Shannon entropy, mean residual life, hazard rate function, quantiles and moments. The maximum likelihood estimation procedure via a EM-algorithm is presented.

A new generalization of the skew-t distribution was proposed. The two-parameter lifetime model called the odd exponentiated skew-t distribution has the ability of fitting skewed, long and heavy tailed datasets. It is considered to be more flexible than the skew-t distribution as it contains it as a special case. Some basic properties of the distribution such as the order statistics, entropy, asymptotic behaviour, moment, incomplete moment, characteristic function and quantile function were derived. The odd exponentiated skew-t distribution parameter estimates were derived using the maximum likelihood estimation method and simulation studies performed to evaluate the finite sample performance of these parameter estimates showed that the parameter estimates were consistent and approached the arbitrary selected parameter values as the sample size is increased. The application using a real-life dataset indicated that the new distribution outperformed the other competing distributions. The hazard rate shape of the odd exponentiated skew-t distribution was found to be increasing and J-shaped which was also reflected in the application result.

Introduction: Lifetime distribution has drawn so much attention in recent research, and this has lead to the development of new lifetime distribution. Addition of parameters to the existing distribution makes the distribution more flexible and reliable and applicable model has become the focus of the recent search. This paper proposed a two-parameter Pranav distribution which has its base from a one-parameter Pranav and Ishita distribution. Methods Two parameter Pranav distribution was proposed. Mathematical and statistical properties of the distribution which includes; moments, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, index of dispersion, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, stochastic ordering, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves were developed. Other lifetime distributions such as Ishita, Akash, Sujatha, Shanker, Lindley, and Exponential distributions were considered in the study. Results: This new distribution was compared with two-parameter Akash, Lindley, one parameter Pranav, Ishita, Akash, Sujatha, Shanker, Lindley, and Exponential distributions to determine the efficiency of the new model. The estimation of parameters has been X-rayed using the method of moments and maximum likelihood. Also, AIC and BIC were used to test for the goodness of fit of the model which was applied to a real-life data of hypertensive patients. The results show that the new two-parameter Pranav distribution has the lowest value of AIC and BIC Conclusion: Based on the AIC and BIC values we can conclude that the two-parameter Pranav is more efficient than the other distribution for modeling survival of hypertensive patients. Hence two-parameter Pranav can be seen as an important distribution in modeling lifetime data.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a new two-parameter lifetime distribution which is called extended Half-Logistic (EHL) distribution. Theoretical properties of this model including the hazard function, quantile function, asymptotic, extreme value, moments, conditional moments, mean residual life, mean past lifetime, residual entropy, cumulative residual entropy and order statistics are derived and studied in details. The maximum likelihood estimates of parameters are compared with various methods of estimations by conducting a simulation study. Finally, two real data sets are illustration the purposes.

A new one-parameter distribution is proposed in this paper. The new distribution allows for the occurrence of instantaneous failures (inliers) that are natural in many areas. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the moments, mean, variance, a coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, and mean residual life. The relationship between the new distribution with the exponential and Lindley distributions is presented. The new distribution can be viewed as a combination of a reparametrized version of the Zakerzadeh and Dolati distribution with a particular case of the gamma model and the occurrence of zero value. The parameter estimation is discussed under the method of moments and the maximum likelihood estimation. A simulation study is performed to verify the efficiency of both estimation methods by computing the bias, mean squared errors, and coverage probabilities. The superiority of the proposed distribution and some of its concurrent distributions are tested by analyzing four real lifetime datasets.
