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.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new three-parameter modified Burr XII distribution based on the standard Burr XII distribution and the composition technique developed by [14]. Among others, we show that this technique has the ability to significantly increase the flexibility of the former Burr XII distribution, with respect to the density and hazard rate shapes. Also, complementary theoretical aspects are studied as shapes, asymptotes, quantiles, useful expansion, moments, skewness, kurtosis, incomplete moments, moments generating function, stochastic ordering, reliability parameter and order statistics. Then, a Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood estimates of the modified Burr XII model parameters. Finally, three applications to real-life data sets are presented, with models comparisons. The results are favorable for the new modified Burr XII model.

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.

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution, namely the extended Burr XII distribution (using the technique as mentioned in Cordeiro et al. (2015)). We derive some basic properties of the new distribution and provide a Monte Carlo simulation study to evaluate the maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters. For illustrative purposes, two real life data sets have been considered as an application of the proposed model.

Generalizing probability distributions is a very common practice in the theory of statistics. Researchers have proposed several generalized classes of distributions which are very flexible and convenient to study various statistical properties of the distribution and its ability to fit the real-life data. Several methods are available in the literature to generalize new family of distributions. The Quadratic Rank Transmutation Map (QRTM) is a tool for the construction of new families of non-Gaussian distributions and to modulate a given base distribution for modifying the moments like the skewness and kurtosis with the ability to explore its tail properties and improve the adequacy of the distribution. Recently, a new family of transmutation map, defined as Cubic Rank Transmutation (CRT) has been used by several authors to develop new distributions with application to real-life data. In this article, we have done a review work on the existing generalized rank mapped transmuted probability distributions, available in the literature with various statistical properties such as the reliability, hazard rate and cumulative hazard functions, moments, mean, variance, moment-generating function, order statistics, generalized entropy and quantile function along with its applications. Some future works have also been discussed for generalized rank mapped transmuted distributions.

In this study a new generalisation of Rayleigh Distribution has been studied and referred it is as “A New Two-Parametric Maxwell-Rayleigh Distribution”. This distribution is obtained by adopting T-X family procedure. Several distributional properties of the formulated distribution including moments, moment generating function, Characteristics function and incomplete moments have been discussed. The expressions for ageing properties have been derived and discussed explicitly. The behaviour of the pdf and Hazard rate function has been illustrated through different graphs. The parameters are estimated through the technique of MLE. Eventually the versatility and the efficacy of the formulated distribution have been examined through real life data sets related to engineering science.

The Exponential distribution is memoryless and has a constant failure rate which makes it unsuitable for real life problems. This paper introduces a new distribution powered by an exponential random variable which gives a more flexible model for modelling real-life data. This new extension of the Exponential Distribution is called “Lomax-Exponential distribution (LED)”. The extension of the new distribution became possible with the help of a Lomax generator proposed by [1]. This paper derives and studies some expressions for various statistical properties of the new distribution including distribution function, moments, quantile function, survival function and hazard function known as reliability functions. The inference for the Lomax-Exponentially distributed random variable were investigated based on some plots of the distribution and others revealed its behaviour and usefulness in real life situations. The parameters of the distribution are estimated using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the new Lomax-Exponential distribution has been tested and compared to the Weibull-Exponential, Transmuted Exponential and the conventional Exponential distribution using three real life data sets.

In this work, we proposed and studied the Cubic Transmuted Gompertz (CTG) distribution using the Cubic Transmuted family of distributions which was introduced by Rahman et al. [8] and based on cubic transmutation map. We studied the statistical properties of the new distribution which includes: rth moment, moment generating function order statistics, mean, variance, Renyl entropy. The CTG distribution was fitted to a real data set to demonstrate its flexibility and tractability in modelling real life data.

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.

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.
