In this paper, we first study a new two parameter lifetime distribution. This distribution includes “monotone” and “non-monotone” hazard rate functions which are useful in lifetime data analysis and reliability. Some of its mathematical properties including explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, generating function, Renyi entropy, δ-entropy, order statistics and probability weighted moments are derived. Non-Bayesian estimation methods such as the maximum likelihood, Cramer-Von-Mises, percentile estimation, and L-moments are used for estimating the model parameters. The importance and flexibility of the new distribution are illustrated by means of two applications to real data sets. Using the approach of the Bagdonavicius–Nikulin goodness-of-fit test for the right censored validation, we then propose and apply a modified chi-square goodness-of-fit test for the Burr X Weibull model. The modified goodness-of-fit statistics test is applied for the right censored real data set. Based on the censored maximum likelihood estimators on initial data, the modified goodness-of-fit test recovers the loss in information while the grouped data follows the chi-square distribution. The elements of the modified criteria tests are derived. A real data application is for validation under the uncensored scheme.

A new three-parameter extension of the generalized Nadarajah-Haghighi model is introduced and studied. Some of its statistical properties are derived. Characterization results are presented. The failure rate can be "increasing", "decreasing", "bathtub", "upside-down", "upside-down-constant", "increasing-constant" or "constant". Different non-Bayesian estimation methods under uncensored scheme are considered. Numerical simulations are performed for comparing the estimation methods using different sample sizes. The censored Barzilai-Borwein algorithm is employed via a simulation study. Using the approach of the Bagdonavicius-Nikulin chi-square goodness-of-fit test for validation under the right censored data, we propose a modified chi-square goodness-of-fit test for the new model. Based on the maximum likelihood estimators on initial data, the modified Bagdonavicius-Nikulin chi-square goodness-of-fit test recovers the loss in information. The modified Bagdonavicius-Nikulin test for validation under the right censored data is applied to four real and right censored data sets. The new model is compared with many other competitive models by means of a real data set.

The extreme value theory is expanded by proposing and studying a new version of the Fréchet model. Some new bivariate type extensions using Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, modified Farlie–Gumbel–Morgenstern copula, Clayton copula, and Renyi’s entropy copula are derived. After a quick study for its properties, different non-Bayesian estimation methods under uncensored schemes are considered, such as the maximum likelihood estimation method, Anderson–Darling estimation method, ordinary least square estimation method, Cramér–von-Mises estimation method, weighted least square estimation method, left-tail Anderson–Darling estimation method, and right-tail Anderson–Darling estimation method. Numerical simulations were performed for comparing the estimation methods using different sample sizes for three different combinations of parameters. The Barzilai–Borwein algorithm was employed via a simulation study. Three applications were presented for measuring the flexibility and the importance of the new model for comparing the competitive distributions under the uncensored scheme. Using the approach of the Bagdonavicius–Nikulin goodness-of-fit test for validation under the right censored data, we propose a modified chi-square goodness-of-fit test for the new model. The modified goodness-of-fit statistic test was applied for the right censored real data set, called leukemia free-survival times for autologous transplants. Based on the maximum likelihood estimators on initial data, the modified goodness-of-fit test recovered the loss in information while the grouping data and followed chi-square distributions. All elements of the modified goodness-of-fit criteria tests are explicitly derived and given.

In this paper, we introduce a new univariate version of the Lomax model as well as a simple type copula-based construction via Morgenstern family and via Clayton copula for introducing a new bivariate and a multivariate type extension of the new model. The new density has a strong physical interpretation and can be a symmetric function and unimodal with a heavy tail with positive skewness. The new failure rate function can be “upside-down”, “decreasing” with many different shapes and “decreasing-constant”. Some mathematical and statistical properties of the new model are derived. The model parameters are estimated using different estimation methods. For comparing the estimation methods, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are performed. The applicability of the new model is illustrated via four real data applications, these data sets are symmetric and right skewed. We constructed a modified Chi-Square goodness-of-fit test based on Nikulin-Rao-Robson test in the case of complete and censored sample for the new model. Different simulation studies are performed along applications on real data for validation propose.


In this paper, we have defined a new two-parameter new Lindley half Cauchy (NLHC) distribution using Lindley-G family of distribution which accommodates increasing, decreasing and a variety of monotone failure rates. The statistical properties of the proposed distribution such as probability density function, cumulative distribution function, quantile, the measure of skewness and kurtosis are presented. We have briefly described the three well-known estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimators (MLE), least-square (LSE) and Cramer-Von-Mises (CVM) methods. All the computations are performed in R software. By using the maximum likelihood method, we have constructed the asymptotic confidence interval for the model parameters. We verify empirically the potentiality of the new distribution in modeling a real data set.

The transmuted family of distributions has been receiving increased attention over the last few years. For a baselineGdistribution, we derive a simple representation for the transmuted-Gfamily density function as a linear mixture of theGand exponentiated-Gdensities. We investigate the asymptotes and shapes and obtain explicit expressions for the ordinary and incomplete moments, quantile and generating functions, mean deviations, Rényi and Shannon entropies, and order statistics and their moments. We estimate the model parameters of the family by the method of maximum likelihood. We prove empirically the flexibility of the proposed model by means of an application to a real data set.

In this study, we have introduced a three-parameter probabilistic model established from type I half logistic-Generating family called half logistic modified exponential distribution. The mathematical and statistical properties of this distribution are also explored. The behavior of probability density, hazard rate, and quantile functions are investigated. The model parameters are estimated using the three well known estimation methods namely maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), least-square estimation (LSE) and Cramer-Von-Mises estimation (CVME) methods. Further, we have taken a real data set and verified that the presented model is quite useful and more flexible for dealing with a real data set.

A new modified version of the Bagdonavičius-Nikulin goodness-of-fit test statistic is presented for validity for the right censor case under the double Burr type X distribution. The maximum likelihood estimation method in censored data case is used and applied. Simulations via the algorithm of Barzilai-Borwein is performed for assessing the right censored estimation method. Another simulation study is presented for testing the null hypothesis under the modified version of the Bagdonavičius and Nikulin goodness-of-fit statistical test. Four right censored data sets are analyzed under the new modified test statistic for checking the distributional validation.

In this paper, we introduce a new family of continuous distributions called the beta transmuted Dagum distribution which extends the beta and transmuted familys. The genesis of the beta distribution and transmuted map is used to develop the so-called beta transmuted Dagum (BTD) distribution. The hazard function, moments, moment generating function, quantiles and stress-strength of the beta transmuted Dagum distribution (BTD) are provided and discussed in detail. The method of maximum likelihood estimation is used for estimating the model parameters. A simulation study is carried out to show the performance of the maximum likelihood estimate of parameters of the new distribution. The usefulness of the new model is illustrated through an application to a real data set.

In this paper, we propose a new lifetime distribution called the generalized weighted Rama (GWR) distribution, which extends the two-parameter Rama distribution and has the Rama distribution as a special case. The GWR distribution has the ability to model data sets that have positive skewness and upside-down bathtub shape hazard rate. Expressions for mathematical and reliability properties of the GWR distribution have been derived. Estimation of parameters was achieved using the method of maximum likelihood estimation and a simulation was performed to verify the stability of the maximum likelihood estimates of the model parameters. The asymptotic confidence intervals of the parameters of the proposed distribution are obtained. The applicability of the GWR distribution was illustrated with a real data set and the results obtained show that the GWR distribution is a better candidate for the data than the other competing distributions being investigated.
